The people have spoken! The Conservatives, lead by Andrew Scheer, DEFEATED the Liberal Party by OVER 240,000 votes nationwide, a clear and decisive popular vote margin that is growing every day. Obviously, Mr. Scheer is now the REAL Prime Minister of Canada. Trudeau's "government" is totally illegitimate. He has NO mandate at all and is ONLY Prime Minister because of some odd fluke created by long dead white men that allows the LOSING CANDIDATE to seize power on a technicality. What kind of backwards archaic system is that? Shouldn't the person who got the MOST VOTES be the winner? The rest of the world is stunned and saddened by what kind of coup is happening in Canada right now. It is a complete embarrassment that a horribly unpopular and divisive, racist man like Justin Trudeau can take power. Canada needs to join the rest of the world in having true democratic elections where the will of the people determines the outcome. 😉
Exactly. A Turd Dough regime is an illegitimate one.

They won the “popular vote” by running up the score in Alberta/Saskatchewan, very inefficient, it was a sweep in Saskatchewan, longtime liberal Ralph Goodale was defeated in Regina, that was nice to see. Of course almost 2/3s voted for the 4 socialist parties. Sickening to see em win the “popular vote” and finish 36 seats down.
To have any chance of governing it needed to be more Conservatives than Libs/NPD/Greens combined. It would be hard for Poodah to rely on the Bloc’s support. Greens got 3 BTW. Their leader is a psychopath American carpetbagger. This is a good thing, more vote splitting on the left, but it wasn’t enough.
Pretty crappy result, Poodoh is only 13 seats shy of a majority. Conservatives gained I believe fewer than 25 seats.
Reasons for the loss
Doug Ford’s government in ON is very unpopular and hurt the Conservatives in that critical seat rich province. Winning the provincial election may have cost them the national one.
The comeback of the Bloc in Quebec cut off their avenue for gaining seats there.
Freepers mocked Scheer for being “personally pro-life” but that may have been too much for Canadians, it’s not a socially conservative country.
Bernier took votes from them, but it’s unclear how many seats that alone cost them, not enough.
Best thing that can happen is the NPD forces Poodoh too far to the left and it backfires and the government falls in 2 years when they demand something he won’t give (say changing the voting system)
It’s not clear if Scheer will resign, he’ll likely be challenged.
