2021 Canadian general election - Election Day and Results

[KaiserDave]

Time for the O'Majority
Phil Scott's megacoattails are gonna carry O'Toole to the win

[KaiserDave]

I am predicting a liberal majority but I'd like to be proven wrong.

[KaiserDave]

EXTREMELY misleading. That is considering seats with single digit raw vote totals. Disregard.

[KaiserDave]

Disappointing. Hoping for a minority.

[KaiserDave]

Minority government, excellent! Let's hope it is as weak as possible

[KaiserDave]

What a pathetic and disastrous election.

[KaiserDave]

Close race in this riding that borders Vermont and quite possibly New York.

Phil Scott megacoattails for the BQ

[KaiserDave]

O'Toole is a fine man, no doubt in my mind he has a higher moral character than Trudeau.

[KaiserDave]

What a massive disappointment
Terrible

[KaiserDave]

Very much hoping the CPC right wing doesn't dump O'Toole. O'Toolism must live on.

[KaiserDave]

The CPC is lucky as hell that the NDP and Liberals don’t resolve there differences and merge because … it’s clear the country is majority left of center. And if the PPC takes off at all then the CPC is REALLY screwed

Most NDP voters would not go to the LPC.

Mulclair's post leadership career is pretty vengeful and disgraceful as well. Nasty person all around.

Complete malarkey. Not to mention that Mulcair has been right from the beginning about Singh being terrible at his job.


Although I agree with the sentiment that was very very bad at electoral politics, and deserved to be removed.

[KaiserDave]

If you voted or had a vote in Tom Mulcair's leadership review, did you vote in favor of Mulcair or against?

The whole "trying to dodge this discussion" I get it, but the party forcibly threw out their leader for a poor election result 5 years ago and you're now attempting to make the case "election results don't matter" for a guy that could easily be given a pass for a poor result in 2019, but not making any headway at all the 2nd time around. Uh yeah, the party voted at convention election results did matter ousting Mulcair. That's recent history by Canadian political standards. Even if it was just an excuse because some party members didn't like the rightward turn of the party, that was still the excuse.

If the NDP wants to keep him because they like him, fine, it's their party, but $20 says they don't win more than 40 seats next federal election.

And...big effing deal if they don't win more than 40 seats and don't match Mulcair in '15.  Under the circumstance, it's better to have good morale than to make it all about pumping steroids into the seat count.  Of course, they *could* get more than 40 seats; but much as in 2011, that might involve a broader tableau, stumbles by the opposition, etc to seal the deal.  Election outcomes and seat counts aren't just a one-party show.

You want to know about Point A to Point B?  Victory isn't Point B; it's only the "ideal" outcome thereof.  *Election Day* is Point B.  Much as when it comes to the Boston Marathon, the race to the finish line isn't simply about the race to be the *first person across* the finish line.  Or, a song that only reaches #18 on the Hot 100 isn't a "failure" simply because it didn't reach #1.  There's always a nuance to the narrative, which is why it pays to know the "many routes" to Point B, or the side routes, or the interplay among the parties involved.  Under that circumstance, to be puzzled by why Mulcair was deemed an expendable failure and Jagmeet's not is like being puzzled by why one would waste 2 hours on back roads getting to Point B rather than taking half that time by Interstate.  So stop being that bored kid in the back seat saying "are we there yet" because you just want to go to Mount Splashmore and that's it.

I have no idea what any of this means but I'm just hoping the NDP isn't listening to you.
