#DanArnold gives further details:

"For those wondering, the Conservatives were 11,826 votes away from winning the most seats. They were 37,168 votes away from winning a majority. 5 additional Brampton ridings are on that "majority map", so expect a big focus there in coming years."

Poilievre has a strong (not ironclad) case to stay Tory leader
nationalpost.com/opinion/selle

"[A]uthenticity has been one of Poilievre’s strengths. But as impressive as 41.3 per cent of the popular vote is, his authentic personality also clearly turns a lot of people off. One example from the campaign just finished was particularly striking, namely, his tough-on-crime agenda."

I'd bet the #crime policies of the #CPC won votes on net; but the rhetoric was not ideal.

«Trump about Carney "Well, I think we're going to have a great relationship."

"They both hated Trump and it was the one that hated Trump I think the least that [won]."

"I actually think the conservative hated me much more than the so called liberal."

"I spoke to him yesterday."

"He couldn't have been nicer and I congratulated him."»

"Calls for greater provincial autonomy — or outright secession — will grow louder, particularly if Carney is forced to kill energy infrastructure projects to placate his partners. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will howl at every opportunity — and U.S. President Donald Trump will only be too happy to fan the flames of discontent to achieve his dream of making Canada his “cherished 51st state.”"

Assembly to consider 'independence-oriented' options for West: Manning
nationalpost.com/news/politics

Let me put it on the record that I've never particularly liked #PrestonManning. Even so, it's disappointing to learn he's assembling a political movement that will flirt with separatism.

Canadians ought to stay loyal – especially at the present moment — and reject the destructive idea of regional separation.

@JosephMeyer It was over 25 points! I follow #canpol because some of my PhD fieldwork involved Canadian laws, and I had the sense Canadians were really weary of the Liberals' tired rhetoric and unmet promises. So to win at all involved some political anti-gravity.
