If I'm researching correctly, this election results* in LPC netting 1 additional seat and Conservatives losing 2 seats? -- (edited)

*that's with a few seats not finalized yet, but based on who is leading now.

Trudeau's attempt to try to consolidate power appears to have been a complete waste of everyone's time and money.

BP +2
NDP +1
PPC -1
Green -1

OK, my quebec cousins deliberately lock me out of political shit. Did the hot guy win? -- nm - loosilu Sep 22, 21:57
$600 million cabinet shuffle - zork Sep 22, 18:23 1

What it ultimately did is give Trudeau another 2 years - Reagen Sep 22, 18:22 29
- From the outside looking in, it's just like Newsom. He's stronger than he was three months again because of this vote. -- nm - No Longer Calm David Sep 22, 18:54 4
  - Newsom had the vote thrust upon in without his choice. Trudeau called for this vote in an attempted show of strength. - ty97 Sep 22, 18:56 3
    - Both were votes, and both were winners. - No Longer Calm David Sep 22, 19:01 2
      - Newsom was a colossal landslide. Trudeau just barely eked out the win, and it wasn't even a majority. He clung to power. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:21 1
        
        But if the conservatives send us to the polls again, it will be a huge black mark on them. - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:23
- He’s weaker for it. Second election in a row where the Tories got more votes. Liberals will internally start causing more caucus headaches. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 18:52 2
  - On this front my Alberta conservative friends are going on about how we need voting reform without realising pretty much any way you'd do it benefits - mafic Sep 22, 19:09 1
    - Maybe. I’m not convinced that a true PR doesn’t splinter conservatives into three or four groups that all grow in the aggregate. Then coalitions. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 19:41
- Gets past the pandemic -- nm - budice Sep 22, 18:31 2
  - oh you optimistic fool -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 18:32 1
    - "You sweet march2020 child" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:34
- Except that he doesn't have the bargaining power of calling an election of he's not getting what he wants. - zork Sep 22, 18:26 7
  - They'd look like hypocritical idiots, but I'm not sure that matters. -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 18:29 1
    - Exactly. "Trudeau is getting extra time for his calling an election during the pandemic" -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:32
  - considering how their hammer this entire campaign was an unneeded election call they would regret that lamost immediately -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:29 4
    - Except a year matters during a pandemic. How is that not intuitive? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 18:52 1
      - right hopefully we are out of it and jobs everywhere and spending everywhere and people love it...the extra time should help with this -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 03:43
    - Not with their base. And a large pool of voters outside of that are goldfish. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:33 1
      - (It sounds like this contradicts what I just said about the black mark, but trust me, both are true) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:24
- and will get the $10 a day child care everywhere eventually which will be his legacy i think -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:24 9
  - It'll cost me more than that to commute when I have to go back to the office -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:34 7
    - I...don't know what this means -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:36 6
      - People will get their kids looked after for $10 for a whole day and it'll cost me at least $12 to take transit that same day. -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:39 5
        
        in January next year they're eliminating all but two of the transit zones here. basically gonna be inner city and everything else. - mafic Sep 22, 18:54 1
        
        Nice -- nm - zork Sep 22, 20:37
        
        As in, I think it should cost less to ride on transit -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:40 2
        
        ahh gotcha, no argument here. Hopefully new money for public transit will be part of the climate change money they will be spending -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 03:42
        
        YES. Transit should be extremely tempting for car owners. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:47
  - just NB Alberta and Ontario to go I do believe (and Higgs sounds almost on board0 -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:32
