I am just thankful those annoying, jingoistic PP ads will be gone for awhile.

I wonder how long until we're in another election? Despite their absolute shellacking, the NDP hold the balance of power and are in a pretty good position from that respect. That said, they have absolutely nothing to lose from triggering another election if they're just looking at their seat count.

For a change.

And if the CPC has any sense, or sanity left, they'll also get rid of the whole american maga style polls, nicknames, and other woke is bad stuff.

Probably after their own leadership election if they were planning on doing so.

Two big surprises in Ontario were Green MP Mike Morrice losing in Kitchener Centre, and long-time NDP MP Brian Masse finishing third in Windsor West.

This was a level of strategic voting we've seen in modern Canadians elections.

Both went blue which is wild.

Maybe it is part of that shift towards conservatism in post-industrial areas (e.g. Oshawa) - and a general trend elsewhere (sic Rust Belt)

I think it's about housing prices. There was a huge blue shift across the GTA. In Davenport, the CPC went from 10% in 2021 to 23% in 2025. The NDP collapse allowed the Liberals to stave it off in many cases, but not all.

I am guessing Carney isn't even going to call for a new session of Parliament until the end of the summer, and he will have the throne speech then, which means the first possible time for an opposition no-confidence vote is probably mid-September.
That being said, I doubt he will fall on that one. The likely first time it could happen will be on his first budget, which could be all the way in January 2026.

I think we are looking at a minimum of a year and a half.

You think there won't be any 2025 budget passed until 9 months into the year?

While technically feasible (Governal General's Warrants can suffiice to keep the government afloat (pay its bills) that would be pushing precedent to its outer limit.

I would imagine we'll see a quick recall, a speech from the throne, a budget, and once passed, we may recess til fall.

Something piqued my interest when looking at the latest on the close ridings...

There were reports of polling stations closing in the north (Nunavut) early because of staffing issues. In at least one case the polls closed at 230pm well before the 930pm time they are required by elections Canada...

And now we have Nunavut as one of the narrowly contested areas... From the cbc website:

Some claims of poor weather where flights with staff couldnt make it on time...

Admittedly I'm not familiar if this is a regular occurrence in the north when it comes to elections... But I'm certain we could have avoided situations where people are just not able to vote...

Yep. We need a national housing strategy and housing starts of the likes we've not seen since the post-war years. The trouble is if government incentives flood the market with housing then the value of existing housing drops, putting many mortgage holders under water. How can we fix that?

Even a drop of 20% only puts someone underwater if they bought for the first time after 2022-23 or so. And they should have plenty of horizon to recover.
