AAAAAAAAA GOOD JOB, CANADA
We did it! We didn’t screw it up!

Looks like there will be a minority Liberal government.
This election was heavily, heavily influenced by Trump. So thanks, Trumpster Dumpster, you kept Canada Liberal!
I really like Carney; I hope he does great things for this country.

Election: Canadian Edition
The much-anticipated 2025 Federal Election is HERE! Let’s do it.
Ugh, god, this thing is invoking just as much anxiety as the little electoral college counter that CTV had for the last several US presidential elections.
I’m too nervous to actually blog about any of this today; we’ll see what the final results are later tonight, but until then, I’m going to try to not puke.
Guess Who VOTED?
ME!
We’re doing early voting because I’m going to be in the ‘Scow on the actual voting day.
But I hope my vote makes a difference!
Calling
A federal election has been called! Will Carney prevail? Will Poilievre (whose name I still can’t pronounce correctly) win it for the Conservatives??
WHO KNOWS
It’s exciting and scary. But mostly scary.
At least I get to vote this time.
Election Day Canada
Yay, it’s election day here! Elections at the federal level are a bit different than they are in the States (for one, elections can be called at any time, not just every x years like we do down there; for another, they don’t spend 50 years campaigning before the votes), but there are still a few similarities. Right now Canada has a Conservative Prime Minister, Harper, but as of my writing this it’s projected that the Liberals will win.
Edit: Yup, Liberals won! Justin Trudeau, son of Pierre Trudeau (a former Prime Minister), is going to take the position.
Have a picture of the voting results (Canada uses blue for Conservative and red for Liberal, which is kind of opposite the US party colors…though Canada has more parties (at least more visible/impactful/electable parties) than the US does). And “NDP” stands for “National Democratic Party.”
More Canada Stuff
Here are some results from the 2011 Canadian Federal Election regarding some important issues. These are somewhat old data, but it’s all still interesting. Here are a few:
Man, B.C. is like “screw the US.” Meanwhile, Quebec’s over there whispering, “save us!”
Looks like most of Canada’s gun-ho! Get it??
This one surprises me. I’d think the Prairie Provinces would be all for the weed since there’s nothing else to do in the middle of flatland.
Quebec.
Quebec.
Alberta’s like, “Carbon tax? For what? What oil sands? What environmental damage? EVERYTHING’S FINE.”
Interesting stuff.
