Homegrove Three months ago, this election was going to be a huge conservative majority. Enter Trump and we have another liberal minority. It’s closer than I was hoping for, but a decent outcome, all things considered.

      What caused the pivot? Was it really Trump?

      feels a bit of a ‘dumbed down for Twitter’ type ‘fact’

          Mad_Cyril I’d have had an amazing year at work and at home if it wasn’t for him.

            Love it.

            He backed the Conservative guy on Truth Social whilst guffing on about it becoming 51st state

            Mad_Cyril The stars aligned, basically. Conservative leader was awful (he lost his seat in his own riding), but people were sick of the the Trudeau liberals for good reason. Trudeau stepped down, Trump is a cunt, Trump created an economic and sovereignty threat which pulled Canadians together against him, Carney steps in with a strong economic background, Conservatives double down on anti-woke rhetoric and looked like they were going to be more sympathetic to Trump’s bullshit —> liberal minority.

            That’s it in a nutshell. Probably a best case scenario given the options.

                Carney comes across as not being one to fuck around too, which is useful currently

                    Apparently Ontario who control off licences in their state (or whatever it is) have banned US alcohol. Like it.

                      Mad_Cyril That’s the impression I get. He’s calm, speaks in comprehensible sentences, has a strong background in economics. Plus with a minority, he’ll have to prove that he can do the job before he gets full control.

                      Along_the_Wire Most provinces have done the same. Tourism to the US is way down too, seems like most people are trying to at least limit purchases from american companies. We’re a generally pissed off bunch at the moment.

                                  Smallman1 You’re right. I need to up my strategisationism and focus on the FTSE low cost index numbers, they were peaking at 0.58% only last week which means the market has said NO to the whales, think small but also think big.

                                    Lol!

                                    You got it!

                                    Trump playing 5D level 7 dementia chess has got me STOKED for the future!

                                            This is a great listen, its a pity DuScurvy isnt around to critique it from another dimension

                                            Wtf

                                            We can blame Trump all we want and he deserves it, but the Republican Party is entirely complicit in everything that’s happening.
