Republicans in Congress should look at those results in fear.

We’re so fucking gerrymandered AND the way the SENATE is structured, we’ll be lucky to win the House.

If we win the Senate, it’ll be close….CLOSE. We’ll lose it in 2028 or 2030.

Until the USA so fractures in a major crisis, the Constitution won’t change or if it changes it’ll not be an improvement.

At this point, Congress is basically irrelevant. It is good for TV hits, and that is about it. There has been so much transfer of power from Congress to the President that Congress has castrated itself.

When a Democratic President wins election (if that happens given the Electoral College), the US Senate will be Trumplican.

We’re basically fucked.

Nope. Congress has been disbanded. The next Democratic president can just pass laws by executive order. Congress is so last decade.

Nova Scotia was less than 500 votes away from being 100% Liberal representation. That single area of blue has about the same number of eligible voters as the population of the town of Chapel Hill despite being ten times the size of Orange County. (this map also shows PEI and part of New Brunswick. Nova Scotia starts at that pink bit and includes everything attached to it to the South as well as Cape Breton which is the vaguely heart shaped island in the East.)

TORONTO (AP) — The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projects that Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre will lose his own seat in Parliament.

The loss of his seat representing an Ottawa district during Monday’s election would cap a stunning decline in fortunes for the firebrand Poilievre, who only a few months ago appeared to be a shoo-in to become Canada’s next prime minister and to shepherd the Conservatives back into power for the first time in a decade, before U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada and suggestions it should become the 51st state outraged voters and upended the election.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.

TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won Canada’s federal election on Monday, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threats and trade war.

After polls closed, the Liberals were projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives. It wasn’t immediately clear, though, if they would win an outright majority — at least 172 — or would need to rely on one of the smaller parties to pass legislation.
 
Elbows Up!
This is a great day for North America. A great day for Canada. It's also a great day for Greenland, Denmark, the EU, NATO, the U.N., etc.... all down the line for Democracies. With this vote the free world stands a chance of moving on both economically and in securing democratic freedoms from Russia and the Trump-led USA.
Watch now, as new alliances are formed, and old alliances renewed to battle trump's tariffs and battle Putin's Russia. Watch now as the rest of the World moves on and leaves Trump's maga Amurikkka to stand alone with only Russia, N. Korea and Iran - the Axis of Evil - as their only shit-hole partners in Authoritarianism.
 
And will add: this is a huge loss for trump himself. I dare say this may be a bellwether for mid-terms in 2026.

At 8:36 AM EDT on April 28, 2025, Trump issued a plea to the "Great people of Canada," urging them to elect Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

His pitch? If Poilievre wins, Canada could become America’s "cherished 51st state," promising to "cut your taxes in half," boost military power "for free," and quadruple the size of Canadian businesses with "zero tariffs or taxes." Trump’s vision dismisses the Canada-U.S. border as an "artificially drawn line" and claims unification was "meant to be," while falsely asserting that America has been "subsidizing Canada with Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year." This isn’t just an endorsement—it’s a blatant call for Canada to hand over its sovereignty, resources, and identity to the United States, confirming fears that Poilievre is a MAGA asset ready to sell out his country.

But Poilievre LOST! The Trump bump didn't work... it backfired. A huge loss for Trump, who has yet to speak about the loss.

And not only did he lose the national election, but even his own district voted against him, so he lost his own seat. That's about as clear a rejection from the voters as you can get. And he can thank this humiliating defeat on one Donald J. Trump. With "friends" like Dear Leader, who needs enemies?

Trump's message likely cost PP even more voters than if he'd shut shut his big fat fucking orange mouth. People were outraged. This email went out to me and who knows how many else not long after Trump's post. It's from a Chocolate company run by Syrian refugees:

Dear friends,

Today is one of our family’s most favourite days as we celebrate something truly extraordinary that 10 years ago was simply an unreachable dream for us: The power of choice.

For us, Election Day carries a special and very deep meaning. Many of our family members, who proudly became Canadian citizens over the past few years, are voting for the first or second time. Democracy is one of the greatest and most precious gifts Canada has given us, and we hold it close to our hearts — especially after all the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom.

We cannot take this right for granted.

Today, we are standing firm for our sovereignty, unity, kindness and togetherness. We believe that peace is built when communities rally behind one another, especially in times of uncertainty and hope.

Canada will never be the 51st of anything. This country gave us a home and a reason to dream again. As our CEO mentioned to CTV National News this week, we should make Canada stronger than ever and "build on the capacity of amazing entrepreneurial spirit in our communities."

Today and every day, we celebrate the values that make this country strong and free.

Let’s protect them. Let’s honour them.

With love and gratitude,
The Peace by Chocolate Family

With the Canadian system another party member can give up their seat so PP can take it, but it's kind of the mark of a loser. Ideally you dump your leader if they can't even win their own seat.

It’s so fucking depressing that it took approximately 3 months for Canada to consider us a threat and an enemy rather than an ally.

Fuck you, Trump.

Didn't take that long even. It was less than a week of him assuring the world that he wasn't joking about annexation. The tariff bullshit didn't help either.
