Did Trudeau really say he'd call another election in 18 months if he got another minority? O'Toole keeps harping on about another election in 18 months but I don't recall there being any news of Trudeau saying that until O'Toole just said he did.

Le Saboteur posted:Did Trudeau really say he'd call another election in 18 months if he got another minority? If he did this result is telling him to roll that idea off a cliff. He barely eeked out any sort of gains, and if he does it again there's no guarantee the country will treat him even worse for doing the same annoying stunt again. It's more likely some circumstance will cause a vote of no-confidence to bring us back to the polls early again. But the other parties would be smart to take away the same lesson from this.

O'toole's leadership is kind of dependent on the imminent threat of another election, I think he's just trying to gaslight his own people.

I'm watching Windsor Tecumseh, Davenport and Spadina Fort York. All three of these look pretty close. Also Deb Schulte is losing ground. I'd love to see that piece of poo poo go after she hosed over the miqmaw fishermen.

MakaVillian posted:No the thing they got wrong is that dislike/hatred of the current UCP government would translate to CPC loses. The UCP would get (relatively) crushed if an election was held this year. First, I completely agree that with Kenney "leading" the province the UCP is barely more popular than room temperature, flat beer. I think Kenney's polling at 9% within his own party. I'd be surprised if this election isn't going to lead to a leadership review very soon. Second, Banff has been trying to be more than just a vacation town for years now. There's not that many seasonal workers there at this time of year, and especially this year so I may be overstating the town's significance. I only know that it's been a long complaint that Banff and Canmore have been saddled with Airdrie and the rural settlements in between them.

The Last Call posted:The usual whiners are already saying Alberta needs to separate. A reminder that Alberta is staring down $100B in environmental remediation costs for abandoned oil wells alone, never mind the tar sands. Guaranteed it's going to be the federal government having to bail them out of that sometime in the next decade or two. It honestly might be better for the rest of us if Alberta separated. (Sorry Alberta goons.)

So the PPC aren't getting any seats right. If those nazis even get one, that riding is basically a no go zone. Not that I expect it to happen but there's certainly parts of the country that have gone nuts.

I can absolutely see Edmonton Centre and Griesbach going to a recount but if the results stand then I am glad that greasy gently caress Kerry Diotte will be gone. Kinda eh on Boissonnault getting elected again but whatever, another non-CPC seat and that makes me happy

acumen posted:I know lawn signs aren't an accurate representation but there's a hell of a lot more of the PPC ones than CPC in my town. This area's strategic vote may have to go conservative! I could've sworn we were getting Chelsea Hillier with the way everything seemed around here but she received even fewer votes than our ndp candidate and this area is blue as gently caress. I'm pretty sure the only people who actually put out lawn signs were her only voters eat poo poo lol

The PPC ate any potential gains for the Tories, cost them a few seats, and the right wing of the CPC is already circling like vultures for O'Toole.

Yeah I don't think you can either. But loads of them in Canmore just outside the park boundary. Also Jesus Christ Rosemary Barton is really showing her colors this evening. She keeps pitching this result as a brave gamble for Justin Trudeau that has totally paid off.

I spent a lot of tonight gagging at Lisa Raitt on the CBC coverage. Is this gem on Macleans satire or what? https://www.macleans.ca/general/lisa-raitts-candy-martinis-and-conservative-woman-in-hoodies/ quote:Natural Resources minister Lisa Raitt had over a dozen female Tory staffers to her place for a casual night of comfy clothes (Raitt said they should all come in hoodies), pizza and martinis.

Kenney is viewed in Alberta as an embarrassing / incompetent clown by a large number of UPC voters. Everything he's touched has went to poo poo. The portion of the voter base that is fanatically anti-vaxx may think he has sold out to the global conspiracy. All that said though, you guys have to take into account how much Justin Trudeau is hated in this province (for no real good reason at all, these people are brain damaged). I had somebody who declares themselves as being uninterested in voting but nevertheless who is for all progressive causes (whatever that means) tell me that they would vote for Trump if he were eligible to run in Canada before they voted for Trudeau in an election because of how Trudeau has tried to kill Alberta.. Like.. all these people know is to be absolutely outraged at every statement and action Trudeau takes. There really is a brain rot in this province when it comes to that man in particular. The results tonight are not surprising.. I had hopes for a couple more NDP ridings in Edmonton and area but it wasn't meant to be yet.

Just got off a 17.5 hour shift as a central poll supervisor in Surrey-Central, the kindly old lady representative for the NDP candidate said it was one of the most organized counts she ever attended, really made it all worth it.  The NDP didn't win the riding though.

The silver lining with the Liberals lying about electoral reform is that the PPC get jack poo poo in seats despite taking 5% of the vote. This is also the second election in a row where the CPC got more total votes than the Liberals.
