We were storm-stayed in South Dakota last evening and so will likely be on the road still as results begin to come in. You’ll be in charge here unless Robert or one of the other guest bloggers has a chance to take over.
UPDATE: Projected Liberal Minority, with the BQ in the drivers seat and Singh riding shotgun. Singh in the driver’s seat.
Bring on our referendum.
The Rebel Election Desk is here. Be sure to chip in to support them.
A clunky election map at Macleans. (h/t clipe)
8:47pm Sask time and Filibuster Ralphie is running 600 votes behind Conservative Michael Kram.
LOL… it appears that Andrew Scheer is winning the popular vote.
Succinct.
I’m very sad for Saskatchewan and Alberta families tonight. There are some very serious decisions to be made by our Premiers. Our resource sectors, agriculture sectors really need strong spokesman @PremierScottMoe @jkenney we need you.

So many issues left on the table. Vivian Krause spells it out.
Heh.
Hey Mr. President:
Greenland turned you down.
I bet Alberta wouldn't. https://t.co/8WLeLZBlmM

If it’s any consolation , the Conservative won the popular vote – 34% over the Liberals 33%.
It is not a consolation. It is a reacharound.
Scheer loses an election that should have been an easy win… he’s a failure.
The Conservative party has also become a failure by abandoning most of its Conservative principles. I don’t know where they go from here.
Canada is in serious trouble and now again at serious risk of fracturing.
Scheer is a pussy, so is Ambrose and many of the others. I can see minding your p’s and q’s during an Election, but they have waved the white flag on climate and political correctness.
Don’t laugh too loud about the popular vote. Team Dairy Queen only got 34 percent of the vote, with the more blatantly globalist parties getting much more than that. Under a German style PR system we’d be looking at a traffic-light coalition of the left (Grit red/NDP orange/Green)—and if Justin had managed to foist alternative voting on us, the seat count would be even more lopsided.
Our masters, fearing that the means to bring them to justice might one day fall into the hands of real workers, peasants and taxpayers, have systematically expanded the franchise over time to ensure that elections are decided by people who will vote for the masters’ stooges, rather than keeping the franchise limited to those who pay taxes and want assurance that the money is spent on ensuring the continued existence of the nation and a future for their sons.
The “median voter” is not a Conservative, much less an SDA reader. She, for it is a she, doesn’t know who her MP is but will vote Liberal anyway because she thinks Justin is gorgeous, and is happy about immigration because cheap “ethnic” takeout spares her from learning to cook—and exotic men make her mouth water.
What do we, the tax- and debt-peons who are forced to pay for the median voter’s shish tawuk and black pudding, do about this? Because I don’t think voting will cut it.

Are you sure you are actually the same A Canadian? The reason I am asking is that you are 100% correct here. Did you have a stroke or stroke or something?
I want Andrew’s resignation by the end of the week or I’m done supporting the “Conservatives” permanently, voted PPC and have 0 regrets
“or I’m done supporting the “Conservatives” permanently, voted PPC and have 0 regrets”
So, you’re a liar who didn’t support the Conservatives, but instead vote for Max2%. Do such bad liars ever have regrets?
I want Dairy Queen’s resignation. You do not get to demand anything now. You voted for Aladdin.
Hey GORD Tulk.
How is it that the liberals were so incredibly effective at targeting their voters and parlaying a huge popular vote deficit into a 30+ seat win ??
How GORD?
I have a pretty good idea, do you?
You aren’t making any sense. try again.
Ok I’ll talk slower.
Show me a Canadian federal election with this wide of a margin of victory, which is 250k as I write this, that resulted in a 30+ seat loss to the second place popular vote winner.
How do you fail that badly, and why can’t you target voters as effectively as your opponent?
Pretty sure I know the answer, do you?
Because the CPC won about 60 Alberta/Saskatchewan/rural Manitoba seats with HUGE majorities. Needed to spread those votes to Etobicoke, Vaughn, Mississauga, Surrey, etc. Turns out Mad Max had little impact anywhere (maybe delivered about 5 Ontario seats to Liberals by hurting the local Conservative.)
Etobicoke and Mississauga were total lost causes. Most if not all of those ridings went 50% Liberal, +/- 5% or so. Toronto proper was even worse. The Liberals mopped the floor with everyone there, sometimes hitting 60%. For all the talk of how good a campaign Singh ran, it didn’t translate into votes nor seats.
I actually found a single BC riding in which the presence of the PPC may have flipped the seat: Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam. L beat C by a margin of less than 400 votes. The PPC candidate scored 687 votes. So there’s one.
Someone tell Meethead he LOST seats this election, he seems to think he won tonight.
That had to be the most arrogant, out of touch speech I’ve heard this side of a Liberal!
“They learned nothing and forgot nothing.” Apparently the Trudeaus are our homespun version of the Bourbon monarchs.
What would happen if AB decided to have a week of general strikes starting at end of October? Just enough oil and gas production to keep things going in AB? I doubt many people and companies would participate. They be there to screw Over their rival to make a buck instead of standing shoulder to shoulder. That’s Albertans biggest Achilles heel , their greed and love of money. That’s why they will always be under their heel. All those stories about rugged individualism and entrepreneurial spirit are just urban legends and myths. They better back stabbers than anything else. I’ve been an Albertans for 20 years and lost evetything in the past 2 years thru bankruptcy. I’m still here but no one wants to fight anymore . All hat no cattle all talk no action. Can’t wait to see Kenney be the great statesman ! Keeping the country together so he could get a shot at PM down the road. Just another coward. He will placate Albertans into thinking he’s got their back and they just find out when they feel The tip of his shiv penetrating into their kidneys. Too late again aww shucks we poor Albertans won’t someone stand up for us from the govt?? Please Mr govt save us!! What a bunch of cowards
Well it certainly looks like this election was very much determined by Doug Ford. Had he kept his powder dry and been more moderate until after the election it might be a very different story right now. Imagine if Ralph Klein had done something similar.
Ya Gord. Ontariams elected liberals for 15 years that ran the province into the ground and because the guy they voted in didn’t fix it in his first year, the decided to make western Canada pay for their fu cked up
Choices!!
The problem with CPC is that milquetoast people like you have sway in the party. No one gives a fu ck what a loser like you thinks. How many times do you have to be wrong before people stop taking your advice ffs
Rural Ontario voted CPC just like they previously voted Reform and Canadian Alliance.
CPC lost it in Ontario in the 905 areas and cities like Kitchener and London; these went Liberal.
Liberals won those and almost all of Toronto (at eNDP expense).
Congratulations Regina-Wascana, finally.
It is not Ford it is the inept leadership that could not overcome the MSM propaganda machine. Had Dairy Queen acted as if he had at least one functioning testicle he could have likely won. Instead he channeled his inner Hudak and we got the result we got. Ontario will vote for Harris, for Ford, would vote for a Canadian Trump will not for Hudak/Tory/Eves/Scheer or another castrato.
No GORD. The election was lost by liberal synchophant Andrew Scheer. No one else.
His to win. Easily. Soooooo easily.
If your boy can’t beat the most embarrassing individual who has zero qualifications for the job, then who can he beat?
Oh yeah. Max. He can beat max. Great. Just great.
Bollocks. The union are attacking him for CUTS CUTS CUTS when there aren’t any. The union campaign against Doug Ford was part of the federal election.
Andrew Scheer listened to the crowd that told him To crawll around on his knees sucking asses to get votes instead of the one or two others telling him to go out everyday and take a shit in the mouths of media. Great strategy, glad I voted for the racist.
^^^That^^^
I see Trudeau has just stepped onto the stage when Schere has just started to speak. What an A$$. What an embarrasment. And he will continue to representment me!
I think I know where to draw the border between the western republic and the ROC — the Surrey-Langley border. About 90% of the land mass of B.C. voted the same way generally speaking as AB and SK (and most of MB) tonight. It’s only the coast and Vancouver Island that have any philosophical ties with the Laurentian heartland. And even there, those ties are weakening.
But the network coverage of the election was horrific. I thought I was living in Cuba listening to some of it.
There is a silver lining. In a minority situation where the Liberals govern, they no longer control committees. If it had been a Conservative Minority, that would not be the case. Without a majority to stop them, the Opposition can call whatever witnesses they want and the Liberals can’t do shit about it. No more Liberal obstruction. Bring on the SNC-Lavalin Public Inquiry. What else will be found out that the Liberal Party has suppressed? How will the Liberal Party govern at all in a situation like that when they have to go to more than one other party for support to keep their government alive?
I don’t give the Liberal Minority government 18 months until we’re in another election.
We will see. Given Meethead’s longwinded arrogant re-election speech and rebranding of his promises, I suspect that he has made a deal with the devil already.
Trudope said in his SHORT speech (yes it was), that he had a STRONG MANDATE. Now I know hes dumb as a brick, but strong mandate? Has he already done the deal with Meethead? A bizarre night, even CTV said Meethead’s speech was bizarre for a party that LOST seats and is in 4th place.
The Libs only need one other party to stay in power. The NDP are dead broke and will not want to fight another election for some time. I suspect Trudeau has clear sailing for two-and-a-half years and can trigger an election at the timing of his own choice.
“Bring on the SNC-Lavalin Public Inquiry”
You missed the note up-thread about that. Coyne said much the same thing. Chantal Hebert gave him his comeuppance thusly: “And do you think the Bloc will go along with that?”
No sir. SNC is dead and buried. The Liberals can absolutely count on the Bloc to ensure any & all missing details about that sordid affair never come to light.
Where was Rex Murphy? Did he write ANY articles to his fellow Newfoundlanders about how Alberta saved Newfoundland when the fisheries died and Newf’s came to Alberta for jobs? Did he remind his fellow Newfoundlanders that Alberta needed them now to defeat the Liberals? I know there was a video of Rex at an oil meeting in Calgary some years ago where he said as much, but how about now?
Rex Murphy writes nice columns with big words like Conrad Black. And cashes cheques from his bought and paid for sell out employers.
Just to make you think that you are represented.
It is clear to me that the Climate Change issue is an existential one for our Country. If the public continues to perceive Climate Change as a serious issue (let alone the number one issue), we will tell the resource provinces that they are going to be ignored – but we will not stop seizing their hard-earned monies. And by pandering to the Climate Change crowd, we will destroy our economy while we sacrifice our wealth on useless efforts to lessen cow farts. It will drive out our entrepreneurs and drive away foreign investors. Combined with the huge deficits and massive debt, the result will be a disaster for our children and grandchildren. A real disaster as opposed to the sketchy Climate Change disaster that 16 year-olds are prattling on about.
But I am not without hope. The answer in my opinion, is to take Margaret Thatcher’s advice. You have to win the argument before you win the votes. In that regard, much of the blame for this problem lies with Stephen Harper, George W. Bush and all of the other “right-wing” leaders of the West over the past twenty years. When faced with the “science is settled” argument, they ducked their heads and hoped that the issue of Global Warming or Climate Change or Climate Crisis, would fade away. So they paid lip service to the science and said “Yes, Climate Change is real” and offered half-hearted plans to “combat” it. So they can now reap the rewards.
We are facing a real crisis now. At no time did they make an effort to show the other side of the issue. This is especially true for Stephen Harper. He had a majority government and did little other than attempt to put a lid on some of the most strident “Warmers” in the Canadian government. And for that he was branded as “Anti-Science”. Where was the Royal Commission on Global Warming? Would that not have made sense before massive taxation and huge green subsidies became the answer to the perceived problem? Especially when some of the most knowledgeable people in the world live and work here in Canada (Dr. Tim Ball, Ross McKitrick, Patrick Moore, Susan Crockford, etc.). We must make a better effort to win the argument.
So my hope is that the Conservative Party will change its current position from becoming the fifth best option on Climate Change to the seekers of the truth – to truly review and test the science before the economy-destroying taxes do irreparable harm. Before the destruction of our energy industry and perhaps before the tearing apart of the Country. Don’t you think it is important enough that we get this issue right?
And to cover off the argument that they are ignoring the dangers of Climate Change, they can opt for spending on adaptation and mitigation. Because if the cause of the warming is not the burning of fossil fuels by humans, we will still need to build dikes, prepare for storms and control forest fires. We can still fight pollution and prepare for natural disasters. This will show that Conservatives care about the environment, but are not prepared to destroy our economy on virtue-signalling actions which will not have any real effect on the world’s levels of CO2.
I have a little hope. But not a lot. I am an Ontarian and I cannot believe how much of the province has swallowed the koolaid. So, I fully support the idea of Wexit. We need a place to flee to if the insanity continues.
IT’S simply too Fkn late for that Bob….FAR FAR too late.
That conversation had to have happened 15+ years ago….and no one was ready.
This country is TOAST.
I will and already have begun pestering the MLA’s in Edmonton. YOU ALL Should do the same..!!! HARASS those people…DAILY.
CLEAR QUESTION – NOW..!!
..and it godamned well better happen soon or we could see violence in the streets akin to Paris. You will see me there as well, the guy with a loaded Holster on his motorized Walker.
These EASTERN-Quebec based Globalist Liberal MOFO’s are trying to KILL MY CHILDREN’s Future & Destiny….that is the bottom line.
We have a Federal government of Toronto.
Scheer is Canada’s Romney. Nice guys don’t win. Who’s our Trump?
I have to tell ya a secret. Canada does not have a 2 party system like the U.S. does. Unintelligent people don’t know this, but it’s true.
Making comparisons between the U.S. and Canada are spurious.
What Canada has been having for a very long time is a Pizza Parliament of about 5 parties + an appointed-for-life Senate.
Because of the vote being fractured among parties, the Canadian ruling party usually gets less than 36% of the vote.
Canada’s Prime Minister generally appoints members of his Cabinet from his caucus. But can appoint from unelected Canadians.
The POTUS appoints his cabinet from trusted American experts, almost always unelected people. These systems are very different.
Max tried to do politically incorrect populism. How’d that work out for you?
We don’t have one.
Leitch was. And before you roll your eyes, they are all strange ducks in politics. Unfortunately for her TDS made everyone run away, her own party shunned her and the PC police gave her a death sentence.
Well, technically, I’d advise a bit of a cooling-off period. Andrew is the effective PM (cat-bird seat), given that at this hour the Tories are on, oh, I don’t know, a popular vote win of at least 1.5%, or 400,000 votes (everybody in this household is one of these).
I hate to say this, but Max failed. Miserably. And permanently.
If it were me, I’d like to study the results of election, particularly wrt to what happened in ON, wherein, in case Western Canadians don’t know this, you have millions of supporters.
DAVID. Do you have any idea how many held their noses and voted Scheer?
My god man. Max is an afterthought.
Scheer failed fully and completely.
Do you have any idea how many voted for Scheer who disliked him and did not support him but saw him as a less worst option than Trudeau?
Andy is failure theatre and nothing more.
I’m not fooled, but you seem to be
“Do you have any idea how many voted for Scheer who disliked him and did not support him but saw him as a less worst option than Trudeau?”
Exactly what my wife and I did Monday morn. We live in an impregnable conservative stronghold and they didn’t need our vote but despite having serious issues going on in our lives we made the sacrifice and voted CPC because we wanted to send a message.
We will sacrifice just a hard to bring about the Republic of Alberta. We wanted the abuse by Trudeau to stop, that is all.
Oz – we watched Jason Kenney’s speech the other night…Albertans are very fortunate to have him at the helm.
Yes. Premier Kenney is a talented speechifier.
“Exactly what my wife and I did Monday morn.”
Us too. We were at the Riding meeting; I formally despise the CPC candidate our riding picked, we didn’t even write his name on our ballots. A hot-air stuffed-shirt “NOBODY can deny Global Warming!” talking head who, needless to say, didn’t stick-around for questions or I’d’ve torn him a new one.
And he won for the CPC in our Riding. Yeah we voted for him – getting rid of Little Potato was and is our #1 priority, and when Sockboy’s minority falls apart and the next election is called (prediction – 8 months, just after the budget) we’ll likely end-up voting for him again. Same reason.
I bet money he throws his hat into the leadership ring when Scheep faces facts and resigns. What a tool.
CANADA is Done. How sad .. how Terribly sad.
I am not surprised whatsoever at tonights results.
Division works apparently..and Trudeau (Butts), is the master divider. I’d see the both of them on their faces in a shallow grave.
45 years of Social Engineering by those RATFUCKERS at the CBC annointing first Pierre that Communist POS, only to be followed By a Sucession of caretaker Quebec Asskissing PMs till PM DickSpank came along to finish the Destruction.
Kenney will be inundated with Demands for a Referendum. We dont need to wait for some BS Constitutional Challenge on Provincial Resource rights that will descend into Lawfare for 10 years attempting to get a good finding from a group of Liberal Oppointees on the Cdn Supreme Court.
The time for ACTION is NOW…Not next month or year.
No Pipelines thru BC..??
COAST LOCK the BASTARDS. Nothing Moves across the Ab Border. Lets see how long it will take those Latte Sipping Eco Fascist Mofo’s when their 50% of their Oil is cut off, and not one container of Chinese garbage leaves YVR Harbour.
“Division works apparently..”
Worked like a charm on you, PPC voter.
“No Pipelines thru BC..?? COAST LOCK the BASTARDS.”
Yes. As I told my wife: Whether the CPC wins or not, I want Alberta out of Canada. I’m just disappointed that the fight just got harder.
Oh well, as John Connor said: “The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.”
Canada is just an euphemism for Ontario and it’s colonial possessions. Quebec is it’s rewarded whore, and the rest are it’s rape victims.
As for Justin Trudeau and his multiple black-face episodes, socialists’ bribery with other people’s money covers a multitude of sins.
We can say “bye-bye” to Canada as it swirls down the same socialist toilet as Venezuela.
I would consider this the special Olympics of elections:
The Liberals win power.
The Conservatives win the popular vote.
The NDP win the balance of power.
The Block triple their seats.
The Greens won something.
PPC get a participation ribbon.
Everybody wins!
Elitists are very anxious to see the PPC to the gallows, why the very thought of the great unwashed having their own voice and their own political party. But not so fast, the PPC concept will be inevitable for as long as the so-called conservative party acts like a B team for the Liberals and a junior partner of the globalists. All the high sounding words that Scheer read from a teleprompter mean nothing — this is the same guy who went to the very bottom of the swamp to find the help of he who shall not be named, and why, to satisfy an ego-driven need to crush his rival. That’s guilt talking, guilt going back to the outrageous theft of the leadership of the party.
Anyway, I don’t care about the CPC any more, would never consider voting for them again under any leadership. If not the PPC and Max, then some other option that is similar, but I don’t see the PPC just going away, now that it has an organization and a membership, it can refocus and get a more robust organization created so that the leader doesn’t have to abandon his own riding to get it off the ground. This may be a blessing in disguise for Max Bernier and the PPC, he can concentrate on the party full-time now without abandoning his constituents. Those who want to write it off should wait and see how things go after the party has its first full convention. There may be more to it than just Max Bernier. Remember, Reform started the same way, with an underwhelming 2% of the vote in 1988. But people began to see that they were right and Mulroney was not all he was cracked up to be. By the next election they were ready to take two thirds of the available votes and turn that into over fifty seats, and we all remember what happened to the Tories. Does anyone lament the demise of Kim Campbell’s party? Who you say?
“why the very thought of the great unwashed having their own voice and their own political party.”
You’re an idiot. Go ahead and tell us all what a dumbass you are. BFD. Oh! and take a shower why don’t you? You stink! Wash, eh?
The profundity of your argument reeks of alcohol or trolling.
Mulroney, another liberal in a blue suite
By the way, I would give Scheer this one compliment, he was able to defeat two Max Berniers in one riding. Not everybody can make that claim.
It occurs to me that the Tories have won the popular vote, on nearly 18 million votes cast, at about 34.4% , which would be well above any argument, and well beyond any prognostication that even Nik Nanos has offered.
So, it’s going to be one more election before we get there on the stuff we want done. I’m telling you, Western Canada has
great allies — think John Nater and Karen Vecchio — who were re-elected last evening, with well over 50% of the vote in their respective ridings.
Separate if you want to, this dude ain’t for separating.
I’ve been an SDA reader for near fifteen years now, but after watching the way SDAers are tearing into each other over this election I think it’s time for me to move on.
Canada is too large and lightly populated to be a unified country, especially when the national ethos is multiculturalism – which is basically a rejection of any Canadian identity.
Quebec and the prairie provinces should separate. Small, decentralized government works best.
Atlantic Canada can go begging elsewhere. Ontario can deal with its colossal provincial debt by itself.
And once more, anybody else remember Lyin’ Brian and the Regional Concept at Meech Lake?
In effect, Canada would split into six largely-autonomous regions, and the Federal Government would confine itself to trans-regional issues, like trade, fisheries and the military. It enjoyed better-than-70% support across Canada, including in Quebec.
Lyin Brian wouldn’t hear of it. “Oh, no no no no no no, we need a STROOOOONG central government!” Translation – “Hey these are MY powers you’re trying to cut here, pal!” Then acted surprised when Meech collapsed.
Shocked. So shocked. (-_-)
Nothing will change, talk of separation is just that, talk. The Justin cabal will hold onto power for another four years and we will be happy to pay higher taxes on everything we need to survive in this dystopian dominion.
A resounding vote for dependency.
Scheer is a little thinker.
He chose to focus his attacks on Bernier, even hiring Kinsella to do so. (How does that make him any different from any of Kinsella’s previous employers?)
Had he focused his attack on the left, he would have knocked out Trudeau and picked up a bigger portion of PPC supporters.
Of course Scheer the smear couldn’t do that because he’s a leftie in his heart.
kristians don’t attack the wounded, and scheep is a good thumper. He also stood against Trump when he should have presented the facts of the issue, instead of supporting the turd
Nobody really won except the Bloc. They pulled off a resurrection. Singh is hurt and bad, but I’m not sure he ever really had a much more of a chance than Mulcair there’s been nowhere to go but down since Layton. Scheer at least had a real opportunity and he blew it. He needs to go now and Rona Ambrose needs to be put in charge.
I really think the CPC may as well prop up the government on condition of getting TMX built and letting them run the committees investigating SNC-Lavalin. I doubt the Liberals will bite. Maybe a Lib-BQ arrangement would be best. SNC-Lavalin would be dropped but I don’t think the Bloq cares about stopping TMX. Again I doubt the Libs will bite.
This election was the milquetoast’s to win and he lost. Disgusted with Scheer.
so now the parties, libs and cons start a new round of leadership conventions. Once the story about why the Turd quit his teaching comes to light, hes’s toast. The libs will get rid of him, and if cons ever get in power again, they need to pass a law that courts can not make decisions on news stories as the one about gropper turd
Hey Ezra! I fully support MY President purchasing Alberta, Sask., and the Eastern 2/3 of BC. If you choose to be 3 separate States, that would be fine … or if you want to form one mondo-State … or split off portions to add to Idaho, Montana, and N.Dakota … it would be your choice.
I would be PROUD to add you all as American citizens. PS … we still speak English here.
PPS … I might even retire to the New State of Northern Montana!
“Hey Ezra! I fully support MY President purchasing Alberta, Sask., and the Eastern 2/3 of BC.”
You should look up the Louisiana Purchase. Really, you should. Note the NW portion of the map.
Yes Please!!! After the results of the Provincial election and last night’s freeze out of Liberals, I have a new sense of optimism, separatism might stand a chance.
Scheer was handed the election time after time with gift after gift and he fumbled it. He was unprepared to the point of stupidity. It took him a week to say that as a Catholic he didn’t believe in abortion but it was not party policy to change the law. He spent most of the election defending himself from absurd accusations that should have been passed off with one line answers like “I worked as an insurance broker but never said I was a registered insurance broker.” The citizenship thing could have been handled by accusing the accuser of intolerance.
Dump Scheer now. He is so frigging incompetent that he will never be elected. Trudeau will defeat Scheer to the point he eventually becomes bored and quits.
I am amazed at the laments for Canada. I’m from Nova Scotia, and I will support whatever destroys this collectivist freak show. No country can survive punishing success and rewarding failure and sloth in the fashion this one does, next door to the USA. We and soon you will continue to lose your best and brightest, your motivated and your risk takers to a country which appreciates and rewards their hard work and initiative. I have built two businesses here, paid over a million in income taxes so far, and in return I have a deceased spouse , killed by the dog shit third world mess we call healthcare. I owe this county nothing except my eternal contempt, may it die soon with as many casualties in central Canada as possible.
The newest Liberal healthcare innovation is to try to talk old sick people into having their doctor kill them instead of treating them. And where do they keep finding all these graduates of the Robert Mugabe School of Medicine and Auto Repair to staff our hospitals?
I agree. Ditto on opioids. NDP are already ‘rationing’ health care, giving preference to younger patients over older ones.
Who won the SDA Election Prediction Contest? Enquiring minds want to know!
(Apologies if I missed it. There’s a lot to read this morning!)
So Canada is literally Hitler now that we have elected a known racist, Blackie McBlackface?
Or is it just Liberal voters that are now literally Hitler?
Heh. I read in Instapundit this morning that Michelle Malkin has perfectly skewered Sockpuppet’s election victory: “Jussie Trudeau is now a real minority – and he doesn’t have to wear blackface!”
A political forum where everyone agreed all the time sounds boring as hell to me. But this food fight over the PPC is fairly one-sided. Various people have explained why they supported the PPC and could not vote CPC under any circumstances. Then various other people have come in to say that we split the vote. This is demonstrably untrue. If you’re not going to vote for A and choose to vote for B, then if B does not exist, you still won’t vote for A. Simple as that. I am a conservative but I won’t be a Conservative in Canada until the globalist influence is gone from the party. Globalism is a progressive philosophy of post-national socialism and if you’re not against it, then you’re for it. You can’t be both for and against it, but the CPC tries to be. It makes no sense and is not worthy of support.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WINS (in) THE CANADIAN ELECTION.
No pipelines- Canadian oil will still be sold to the US at a discount.
Higher taxes and costs will drive investment and business out of Canada.
Higher taxes and costs will drive the people who can leave out of Canada.
Higher costs due to taxes will drive an increase in cross border shopping and holidaying in the US, stimulating many parts of the US economically.
CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT TRUMP.

“For the fiscal year 2015, the CBC received $1.036 billion from government funding and took 5% funding cuts from the previous year.
In 2015, the Liberal Party was returned to power. As part of its election platform, it promised to restore the $115 million of funding to the CBC that was cut by the Harper Government, and add $35 million, for a total extra funding of $150 million.”
Ask your kiddies if they are aware of this number, as it’s not something they’ll hear on CBC.
That would buy enough bottled spring water to quench all hinterland needs, and there’s plenty enough media out there to fill the void if the CBC had to do telethons to raise their funds.
