On August 15, Justin Trudeau called a snap election with the hope of regaining a Liberal majority. His confidence in his ability to do so was based on the fact that most Canadians think the government has handled the pandemic well. However, polling has indicated that his edge in this is actually razor thin over the Conservative Party and the largest gains by far were to the NDP and PPC.
Holy shit this is so fucking dumb. Nobody gives a shit about this election, Justin, why the hell did you do this? You clearly just wanted to try and make use of that post-pandemic popularity bump that a number of governments seem to be getting, following actually handling the pandemic competently, but you didn't do a god damned thing, did you Justin? The only people that actually did anything were the NDP, and you thought? YOU THOUGHT? We saw through that shit, dumbass, and now you actually stand a chance to lose your plurality to the fucking Conservatives.

Two diesel ships
Two diesel ships leave a pier simultaneously, the Stepan Razin downstream and the Timiryazev upstream, with the same motive force. As they leave, a life buoy falls off the Stepan Razin and floats downstream. An hour later both ships are ordered to reverse course. Will the Stepan Razin's crew be able to pick up the buoy before the ships meet?
Like usual have fun :soviet-heart: and remember to dm @Wmill the answer.
Seriously though, this election is so dumb. :kkkanada:
calls snap election, loses it, doesn't care. sigma based gigachad Trudeau with the 9D backgammon politics
We'll see. It's most likely gonna be narrower Lib minority that has more NDP representation, but there's a possibility of a Con-PPC-BQ minority government. Or even a slim chance of a coalition. But most of this is likely to result in a confidence vote and another election in the near future.

They have more than they used to by quite a bit. It's alarming.
considering his entire reason for calling it was to seize on the moment to get a majority government, this is absolutely going to be a loss on the political capital front even IF he wins more seats, which he won't.
He is gone within 2 years if he does not get a majority. What is nice. The problem is his heir apparent is Freeland who loves nazis.

Oh, for sure. It's extremely fucking funny.
A coalition has literally never happened and probably won't. The PPC are splitters from the Conservatives and the Tories also hate french people so the bloc wouldn't do it. It's gonna be a lib minority and the NDP is gonna get a couple extra seats here and there. I'm not voting so no e of this is my fault.
There was that weird national unity merged party during WW1, but yeah we've otherwise never have had a formal coalition at the federal level.
