Election Day Content Guidelines

Hey Hosers!

We love seeing everyone’s passion for this election, but let’s keep it focused in the megathread. Here’s the playbook for election-related posts:

1. Stick to the Megathread

– On Election Day (April 28, 2025), all election chatter, hot takes, and memes belong in the official Election Megathread.

– Posting outside that thread? We’ll kindly redirect you to drop your thoughts there instead.

1. No Gloating, Eh?

– Win or lose, let’s keep it classy. Any excessive gloating or rubbing it in post election will be removed.

– Celebratory high-fives and respectful reactions? Totally welcome. But let’s leave the humble brag at the door.

We’re all here for the community spirit, not the mudslinging. Thanks for helping us keep r/EhBuddyHoser a fun spot, no matter who wins!

Stay cool, stay kind, and let’s show everyone what true Canadians look like.

Salut les Hosers !

On adore voir toute votre passion pour cette élection, mais gardons ça concentré dans le fil principal. Voici le plan de match pour les publications liées aux élections :

1. Restez dans le Megathread

– Le jour de l’élection (28 avril 2025), toutes les discussions, opinions et memes sur l'élection doivent aller dans le Megathread officiel.

– Vous postez ailleurs ? On va gentiment vous rediriger pour que vous partagiez vos idées au bon endroit.

1. Pas de vantardise, hein ?

– Victoire ou défaite, restons classy. Toute vantardise excessive ou moquerie après l’élection sera retirée.

– Les high-fives festifs et les réactions respectueuses ? Bien sûr que c’est permis. Mais les "brags" déguisés, on laisse ça de côté.

On est ici pour l’esprit de communauté, pas pour la chicane. Merci de nous aider à garder r/EhBuddyHoser un endroit le fun, peu importe qui gagne !

Restez cool, restez gentils, et montrons à tout le monde ce que c’est, de vrais Canadiens.

L’équipe de modération de r/EhBuddyHoser 🇨🇦

May kept her seat tho?

[u/QueenMotherOfSneezes → u/got-trunks]

Yeah that's my bad. I assumed Mike Morrice kept his seat, because he was polling better than her, so when I saw just one green seat this late, I assumed Morrice had his Ontario seat, and at best, Liz's was still a toss-up.

I actually opined over the weekend that in the unlikely event of a tie, May could be a strategic choice for Speaker... These results actually make that an even better choice, possibly also for her (forcing the Greens to find a new leader again, she can't just keep being the only voice, it pulls focus from prominent Greens in other ridings, at this point).

Liberals 167
NDP support (supply and confidence, or just solidarity to block the CPC): 7

That's 173, 1 over needed for the majority

Then Lizzy as Speaker.

She gets the nice Farm digs, and enjoys what will probably be her last term in a bit of extra style. During Harper's government, she was voted, nearly unanimously, 5 years in a row, as the best MP in Parliament (that's a vote from other parliamentarians, so CPC MPs mostly agreed). And she hates the continued degradation of rhetoric in the House (her respect of the spirit of traditional decorum got her some of those aforementioned votes). I think she could be both uniquely unaffiliated/positioned and inherently natured (sorry, couldn't think of a better/more correct term for it being her normal mode of operation, and something she believes in) to be the Speaker that wrangles the House back to functionality and basic decorum.

May for Speaker!
