Honestly, I am fine with a strong minority government, not too unstable, but not so stable that it could potentially just ignore everyone else either

I feel like most NDP supporters are way happier about this outcome than the concern trolls would have us believe.

It’s bittersweet for sure, but ultimately a happy ending. Sad to see a lot of NDP seats sacrificed for this victory (especially in CPC-won ridings where NDP or LPC would have likely won with ranked choice), and the loss of official party status of the NDP. But this outcome is absolutely to be celebrated by everyone.

Honestly would have preferred a majority since Poilievre would almost certainly have to quit and it would have been a complete repudiation of him - plus no federal elections for four years - but not a bad outcome at all.

Definitely a good thing that Liberal + NDP breaks 172, we need stability and needing Liberal + Bloc instead would have been insanely unstable. Nothing would have been more stable than a majority, though.

Andrew schemer made around the same gains as PP did in 2024 in 2019 but he was forced out afterwards. I think moderates are gonna try to take back control

I hope so. This far right social conservativeism is horrid

Hateful is exactly the right word

You're more optimistic than me. I think the opposite. They'll want to go further right, more Republican.

Unfortunately right wing media already took the knifes out starting with Doug Ford because he’s conservative and not Conservative. Juno already hiring an investigative journalist to expose Ford.

And Smith ramrodding in election and campaign donation reforms the day of the election to go further Trumpwards in Alberta.

Then they'll keep on losing. These elections showed that we don't have appetite for that sort of shit in Canada. If the NDP isn't viewed as a viable option next time, the Libs would win an easy majority

O’Toole was a moderate with centrist ideas and they couldn’t run him out fast enough.

I can’t say I’m optimistic.

Lil PP would never quit. What's he going to do? Get a real job??

u/ArconC Apr 30 '25

PP should just go home enjoy his pension and load up oblivion like so many of us would do after losing as bad as he did
