Carney wins Canadian election, while Conservative leader loses his seat in Parliament

The Liberals are projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives, though it wasn’t clear yet if they would win an outright majority, which would allow them to pass legislation without needing help.

    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?
