A “stunning comeback”? The selection was never in doubt.

Welcome Alberta as the 51st State.

Begin the process tomorrow.

This is a parliamentary system, how is this compared to the last election and does Carney have to form a minority or coalition government?

He needs 172 seats for an outright majority, they had only 160 in the last Parliament. There is a lot more to play out here.

Poilievre did not help himself when this news got discovered. Read all about it here :

‘Deeply hypocritical’: Pierre Poilievre slammed ‘illegal border crossers,’ but his own relative crossed and stayed.

Anaida Poilievre’s uncle lived undocumented in Canada and received help from her and an MP. The Conservative leader has said such individuals should be ‘tracked down’ and ‘deported’

Trump’s rather undiplomatic comments about Canada becoming the USA’s 51st state, coupled with his tariff, genuinely shifted the political landscape in Canada. This unexpected pressure tipped the scales in Mark Carney’s favor, bolstering his campaign. Without this external jolt, the Conservatives would have overwhelmed him. Carney truly owes Trump a significant debt of gratitude for inadvertently boosting his victory.

I want to get rid of some states, not add new ones.

If the BQ were smart, it would form a coalition with the Conservatives in return for more autonomy, something they’ll never get with Carney. They’re not smart, of course.

NOT a stunning comeback, but a stunning fiasco created by Trump and imbecilic Canadian voters. I am pissed. Sorry good Canadians; our President screwed you.

Pick on Mexico, pick on China, but why pick on Canada?

Play it again, Sam...

Trump didn't lose anything. The Canadian people did this, they own it. The "conservative" party in Canada did this, they own it. If all it took was the "online ramblings" of...how did someone put it, "a stable genius?" then their case was weak indeed. I understand there's an agenda to keep though, 2026 midterms are coming up.

He did that on purpose.
East coast liberals in Canada will not recover.

Combine all those small pissant Northeast states into one state.

Sorry Delaware and Rhode Island should not be states, each sending two Senators to DC.
