Not around me. Lines were insane at advanced voting! Like 2+ hour lineups in a lot of ridings!
Wow, that sucks. I voted on a Sunday afternoon, in and out in less than 5 mins. There was a lineup on the Friday morning, so I waited.
I voted on Easter Monday in the morning. It was really short. like in and out in less than 10 minutes. Maybe 5 minutes? My neighbors voted on day 1 and said it was pretty long. It's generally good to not do things at the beginning or the end of a thing
Not sure how I feel. Looks like they can get votes to pass stuff with an NDP coalition, but that's exactly what I didn't want. I wanted the party to pivot a little to right.
I suspect this minority government won't last as long as the last one.
I heard 79% voter turnout in Carleton. Probably the highest in the country. Accessibility wasn't an issue.
They just wanted PP gone.
The only reason we're not looking at a Conservative majority this morning is because PP himself is deeply unpopular. If almost anyone else was running they would have won probably by a landslide.
It’s going to be interesting to see where this bout of national amnesia lands us. The Trudeau Liberals were essentially reelected, bringing the same policies that have hamstrung our economy and society.
Now we’ll see if Carney is capable of governing, I’ll just say that I hope he doesn’t fuck up too badly. Because what could go wrong putting a rookie in the nation’s top job?
I can only trust that the Liberals are sending a huge bouquet to thank Trump for saving their party and keeping them in power.

I think if Harris had been President then we would have seen a different result as you say.
But everyone got trolled by Trump and voted based on external fear instead of domestic issues.

That may be the case - but despite what Trump would like, the world is one system, and the concepts of domestic and international are quite intertwined these days. Look at the label on any of your clothes. Check where your electronics are made. Look at where your medications were researched and developed. Every issue is a domestic one - especially a lunatic sharing a land border making repeated statements about taking over Canada, and especially a lunatic starting trade wars, consequences be damned, and especially a lunatic who declares that the strategy is to create uncertainty (aka chaos). I would like to know what domestic issues are more important than Canadians' abilities to pay bills, keep roofs over our heads, and maintain our quality of life - than what Trump's impact has been on our economy (so far).

Did you read the comment you responded to?
You say accessibility wasn’t an issue but the whole point of the article is how the Longest Ballot protest caused issues and anxiety for a man with multiple disabilities. That’s an accessibility issue as far as I can tell. Not the intent of the protesters but responsibility ultimately lies with them.

"trolled by trump". haha. both parties made trump a major issue, as they should have. biggest political power on the planet is wreaking economic havoc all over the place and causing chaos at every turn. that's not trolling. People losing thousands in life savings and profits in business is not "trolling". Why do you think both major parties increased their vote share and the greens and oranges lost big time? because it's a big issue. if you think trump's chaos isn't related to domestic issues, you have your head in the sand.

your point is one person had trouble voting because of long lines (a problem all over the country) and the long ballot causing issues for him and his mother. While I sympathize with him, that's not why pp lost. He lost cuz he's a lying asshole.

Percentage of Canadians whose vote was impacted by their negative feelings towards Trump? Certainly not zero. Don't say Trump doesn't have coattails...he very well have delivered that victory yesterday.

I’m glad you have some sympathy for the man in the article, why the need to gloat?
I made other posts you can gloat over, I don’t know why this article is being politicized when it had nothing to do with the parties and should focus on Elections Canada if anything.
The Longest Ballot people screwed this man. Maybe they need to reassess their approach.

I can only assume that in the interests of fairness the Longest Ballot protest will exclusively target Carney’s riding in the next election, otherwise they’ve chosen a side and are yet another partisan organization.

The impact of his insane policies certainly did. That isn't a "riding his coattails" kind of thing. Canadians obviously feel that Carney is the best candidate to deal with the chaos Trump is causing in the economy right now. Others also felt that PP was too much like Trump in some ways, and are wary of Canada moving in that direction.
Top of my mind right now is that we definitely became more like America in one way yesterday: We basically became a two-party nation just like the US. That sucks. I hope it's reversible at some point. Clearly all the NDPers voted Liberal because they think Carney can best deal with the global economic shake up caused by the doofus.
This all makes a lot of sense to me... I'm not really understanding how it feels like some are trying to kind of disenfranchise all those voters who made such decisions, as though they were swindled into it somehow. That makes absolutely no sense at all.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
we aren't a two party system. The NDP and Greens will be back (the latter, less so). Cons were defeated within an inch of their lives in pretty recent history, and people were saying they were done. Well, the clearly aren't done. Their leader lost his seat but the party still got a higher percentage of the vote than Harper did when he won. So they'll be fine. And I think people will move back to their "own" parties when the buffoon to the south is gone or tamed. The Bloq even lost significantly last night and that exit polling showed many were "lending" their votes to the other two majors in light of what's going on.

I refrained from posting the story yesterday but apparently I should’ve so it wouldn’t be blown off as sour grapes.

If Jean Charest was the leader of the Conservative Party... I would have been Team Charest all day to change from Liberals. That's based on my belief that Charest would have ran a mature campaign as opposed to the circus fest Pierre was counting on.
Pierre losing his riding and popularity should come as ZERO surprise.
In particular... his riding is a public sector suburb. Much of what he was saying to boost his popularity to voters in Alberta for example were pissing people off in his own riding. Not to mention his coziness with the Convoy. To really "Bring it Home" I'm surprised he didn't declare himself a die-hard Maple Leafs fan while he was at it.
Once again... what ought to have been a remarkably easy Conservative landslide victory turned into them shooting themselves in the foot.... again. Mistake after mistake after mistake. I'm confident I hit on many of these in pages past lol.
Recently... from Pierre taking a report WAY out of context suggesting that Canadians will need to forage for food in a few years... to Andrew Scheer's inexplicably awkward pub commercial where he (creepily in my opinion) suggested voting Liberal meant you would be so badly sinking in debt that you would of course become a meth addict to the fairly obvious Trump comparisons.
These tactics worked in America. Thankfully, they did not work in Canada and I hope they never do.
I hope Carney's Liberals do a much better job moving forward. And for the Conservatives... time to grow the fuck up.
