Now the Sun is leaning into “this isn’t fair, a majority of Canadians didn’t vote for JT, why does he get to be PM again?”

Not emptyquoting this. :(

If nothing else I can take solace in the fact that we aren't stuck with a conservative majority government for a few more years.

Found out my riding went to the Liberal Incumbent in Burlington, ON. Could have been worse easily considering it was Conservative for like 10 years or something before that and the challenger this time was considered reasonably strong.

I knew a strategic vote didn't stand a chance in my riding, so I voted true. But I was surprised and pleased to see someone on my street with a Green lawn sign, that takes balls here. Never thought I would see someone here be that bold.

My NDP sign was stolen and trashed, and my back fence graffitied in the provincial election. I didn't bother getting one this time, even aside from not being sure who I'd vote for until a few days ago. I've got mad respect for that green sign owner, though.

I still don't understand how you go from winning a majority government to the Albatross of an entire party in just over a year and now we're stuck with the fat gently caress till at least 2022 even though everybody justifiably hates him now. Little late for that this cycle

It pretty much cost the CPC the election so we took one for the team but ugh, he is going to triple down on all his dumb bad ideas and this province likely wont ever recover.

?

~35-36% voted for a right-wing government
~24% voted for a left-wing or left-wing-with-racist-characteristics government

But the largest block of voters, about 39, chose Forward.

I'm honestly not sure whether to feel good or bad that the PPC didn't significantly split the vote on the right.

Like on the one hand, it showed that the PPC and everything they represent are deeply unpopular and they have zero leverage to try to worm their way back into the party into leadership positions (not that the CPC needs help being dragged even further to the right anyway).

On the other hand it means that the CPC ended up gaining seats.

There's probably not many countries in the world where the parties that identify as being right wing conservative factions only win around 35% of the total vote. It's messed up that if the numbers fall just right they can win an easy majority government with that 35%, but this time around we got a good result for what could have been expected.

Conservatives still don't make up government, so the number of seats don't matter that much. I think telling the far right to go suck a lemon is worth it.

The Bloc Québécois is a very old, very bad, and very toothless joke. Quebec loves to flirt with separatism but never pulls the trigger because they know which way the gun is actually pointed.

They’re gonna be massive gadfly assholes and then swept back out of power by the NDP or Libs in another election or two.

I still love that the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois get roughly equal seats despite the Bloc getting far less of the popular vote because Quebec. I know when you look at it really doesn't matter cause it's all decided by riding and FTPT but still. The NDP just deserves better than this I feel, they're a lot more popular than their current representation makes apparent.

Looks pretty well locked in now at Lib 156, Con 121, NDP 25, Bloc 32, Green 3, Independent 1 and the PPC a big fat 0. Turns out we really really don't like far right parties.
