I always found Deepak Obhrai to be an interesting character with a pretty unique biography. Was sorry to see he died.

Come on, it takes real talent to go from 156 seats to 2 in 3 months

I actually tweeted a screenshot of her wikibox. So far no response

Am I wrong in saying that the Bloc is the real winner tonight?

The Bloc did have a great result but the Liberals did well enough that they only need the NDP to prop them up it seems. If the Liberals got like 20 less seats it would be an even better result for the Bloc.

True. The more I watch the results, I find it interesting that no party, aside from maybe the Bloc, came out the winner.

The Liberals lost their majority. The Tories barely gained any ground at all, and Scheer doesn't strike me as a viable leader heading into the future. The NDP basically failed to make any impact at all. The Greens tripled their seats but failed to really break through anywhere, even in Victoria apparently. The People's Party (and Maxime Bernier) is over. Only the Bloc seems to have made any real gains, and they still won't have the impact needed in parliament for the reasons you've noted.

I've never seen an election in which everyone comes out the loser, but here we are!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is "People's"?

Far right/libertarian vehicle of failed Tory leadership candidate Maxime Bernier.

Ah right, maybe not doing as well as he hoped then?

Correct. He lost his seat to a Tory by about 10% in October.

The People's Party didn't just stall out right out the gate, but they ended up actively sh**tting the bed instead.

Canadian Truckers surround Trudeau and they make it sound like January 6th. Canadian Palestinian activists surround him and it's just "a protest."

My grandma was dumb. Hardcore NDP loyalist who came up as a Conservative when taking every possible political spectrum quiz. You could get her to take any position you wanted depending on how you worded the question.

You hating your own grandmother is a very expected part of your character arch.
