The remarkable campaign was upended by a backlash against Donald Trump, which sparked a stunning liberal resurgence.
Canada’s conservative leader lost his own seat in Monday’s election to cap off a stunning electoral meltdown that saw the Liberal Party rise from the polling doldrums to secure victory.
Pierre Poilievre, who faced off against Mark Carney and the incumbent center-left Liberals, lost his seat in rural Ottawa to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy, national broadcaster CBC reported.
Poilievre first won the seat in 2004 and held it for two decades. Despite the massive swing against him in Carleton, he signaled to supporters Tuesday morning that he would stay on as leader of the Conservatives — though at that point CBC had not yet projected his defeat.
I find it really fucking hilarious he lost his own seat. The auction seems like it went well for canada. I wonder who the Liberals are going to form a coalition with
From yesterday’s reports it looked like they won majority, so technically they don’t need to form a coalition?
Edit: looks like they don’t have majority and still need a coalition.
168 of 172 needed for a majority.
They won, but it’s a minority govt.

I hope that works out well. Coalitions, cooperation seems best.
Best for Canada, but typically fall apart after about a year. We’ll be at the polls again in 2026, and that’s really not enough time to teach the tiktok generation about caring for others and why hate is bad.
Talking down to them and playing the generational differences card isn’t going to help at all. Plenty of old fucks, mid life fucks, and young fucks that need education in this not JUST the youngest of voters.
