TL:DR

Okay, so the Canadian election just wrapped, and the Liberals pulled out a W. Turns out, Trump being extra sus might have lowkey helped them out. Meanwhile, a Delta plane went up in flames, Nebraska got iced by some gnarly hail, and Harvard's feeling the pinch with a $2 billion freeze. It's a lot, fam.

Canada's Election: Drama, Drama, Drama

Alright, so Canada just had its election, and it was a whole vibe. Mark Carney and the Liberal Party managed to snag the W with like, 43.5% of the vote. Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives? They got clapped with just over 41%. But here's where it gets spicy...

Turns out, Trump's antics – you know, the tariffs and the whole "let's annex Canada" talk – might have actually helped the Liberals. Like, Canadians were probably side-eyeing Trump so hard that they went, "Nah, we good with Canada being Canada." Poilievre even lost his seat, which is a major L.

And get this, some of the socialist New Democratic Party peeps jumped ship and started stanning Carney. Now, Carney's talking about renegotiating the free trade deal with the US and ditching those Trump tariffs. It's gonna be a wild ride, no cap.
