First time a minority has transitioned to a majority outside of a general election in the history of Westminster democracy.
Pretty friggen wild for a system that has existed in some form for 900 years

Good.
Now do housing like we’re in a war, give me some of that infrastructure like high-speed rail, and get all those trading eggs out of the American basket.

Many ways to look at this, but i feel like it speaks to the strength and confidence in our current leadership. And also the lack of excitement and confidence in what the opposition is offering up.
This is a good thing for Canada, based on that assessment.

Friendly reminder that PP voted against floor-crossers having to be forced into a by-election. Bill C-306.
No matter what stance, they’ve got a majority and 3 years. Either they deliver or we oust them. No more excuses.

I fear that this will mean less compromises and government being less accountable to the public.

We haven’t hit rock bottom yet. Buckle up folks.

Regardless of your views, you have to admit this is one of the greatest political “rebuilds” of all time for the Liberal party.

Well you get what you deserve they say. Well see what happens next.

So does this mean the next election is 4 years from today even though he became PM a year ago?
Edit: why is legitimate question being downvoted?

Now build houses, develop our resources and actually get something done that benefits Canadians.

What is the word for the type of leader who seizes control of the government without winning seats in an election, censors the internet, outlaws religious speech he finds offensive, and gives your tax money to the media to promote pro-government propaganda?

Enjoy the victory guys. Your elite neo liberal banker who spends 80% of his time outside canada has seized a majority that he was not elected for. This is the peak of his popularity. It’s all downhill from here.

I like Carney because he’s a conservative pretending to be liberal and it’s working

In other news, Pierre Poilievre is blaming the Liberals for forming a majority government.

No excuses now. Start nation building. PP will be watching closely.

Hopefully a majority doesn’t mean a return to the Trudeau era of opposing resource projects and carbon taxes.

Im sure I’ll be downvoted to hell for saying this, but as someone who voted conservative in the last election, ive been happy with about 85% of the things Carney has done so far. Its also nice to see a PM actually work *with* the provincial governments, even if they aren’t on their „team“.

Unemployment at its highest, housing is expensive, groceries are getting more expensive, non violent crime is rising, food banks usage at an all time high, no trade deal with the US yet, wealth gap still increasing, productivity and economic growth still stagnant, skilled immigrants are leaving to the US. Hug a thug judges still in place, disarming lawful Canadian.
Elbows up eh?

Most likely they’re going to win in Scarborough as well with how the its going so far there

Based Carney. My conservative friend is so irrationally mad.

Carney has so far been the right leader at the right time in this highly challenging international and economic climate. The Canadian people should be focusing on what is possible in the future, rather than what has failed in the past. With a majority government, now is the time to make a difference, and now is the time Canadians should work together to make life better.

Remember how high all those PP fan boys were riding when Trudeau was still in power. Why aren’t they strutting around like roosters anymore?

What’s really interesting is they called the election with only 13 of 153 polls reporting.

At least I can stop hearing about how the conservatives are the issue. No one left to blame.

NGL, PP should step down as leader of the CPC, as he has been the only CPC leader in history to give his opponents a majority.
Seriously, not a single other CPC has had so many people abandon him for his opponents. How are people not freaking out and demanding his resignation and replacement?
MeaninglessOpinion on
Well, it’s put up or shut up time for the Carney government now.
hawkseye17 on
I’m surprised PP still has a job after not only blowing a 20 point lead, but ending up with a Liberal majority in the time where a party swap usually occurs.
Wind_Best_1440 on
God I really hope that he doesn’t just turn around and does corrupt shit. Please for the love of god prove me wrong and be an absolute good leader. Please don’t just run straight into doing undemocratic stuff like stamping out privacy and doing GOV ID to even surf the internet and other stuff.
Please don’t just copy what the UK is doing, they’re literally burning down their country. Keir Starmer is just as unliked as the angry orange cheeto down south.
Please for the love of everything good. Please don’t just go straight into doing authoritarian shit and stuffing horrible laws and bills down our throats.

Thanks Pierre! Glad you stuck it in there as CPC party leader!

Congratulations to Mark Carney!!!
– Wife lives in the U.S.
– Four kids live & study in the U.S.
– ~91% of his Portfolio in the U.S.
– Home in the U.S.
– Brookfield Moved HQ to the U.S.
Yet he tells Canadians:
„We Can’t Depend On America“
Do you see the contradiction?
