    Narrowly.

    Are you guys not horrified of what’s happening south? If you interpret this as a win and go on, your country is going to be mega conservative in like a decade.

    No, this is an existential crisis, and you need to shut off the propaganda machines before it’s too late.

      Agreed. Incumbents always do worse in the next election. Makes me shudder to think what the result of the next election is going to be. Trudeau’s latest term was really bad and they got no punishment for it whatsoever thanks to the gift from the south. And Canada seems to be moving further and further away from proportional representation. So who will voters swing to next election?

      Great result for today’s Canadians. Terrifying result for future Canadians.

        I would point out though that a CPC win would have been a terrifying result for future AND current Canadians. So I guess that’s a small win?

      Quite true. The reason for celebration is that had the conservatives won they were planning to defund our public broadcaster right off the bat. We need all kinds of reforms but having the CBC around to report on them will be quite important.

      It’s after a full decade of Liberal rule. Do you know how hard it is to win after that long being blamed for everyone’s problems? This is huge.
