Canada Election: Liberals Clutch the W, NDP Leader Dipset?! 🇨🇦🗳️

The Deets

Aight, so, Canada just had its election thingy, and the results are kinda wild. Mark Carney and the Liberals pulled off a win, but it's a minority government, which means they gotta play nice with other parties to get anything done. The Conservatives, with Pierre Poilievre leading the charge, are gonna be the official opposition, so expect some drama.

But here's where it gets spicy: Jagmeet Singh is dipping as NDP leader. Apparently, they didn't do too hot in this election, and some peeps think their supporters voted strategically for the Liberals, which is a major oof. Meanwhile, Elizabeth May from the Green Party kept her seat, so that's a W for them.

Now, for the real tea: Apparently, Trump's been throwing shade, suggesting Canada should become the 51st state. Like, is he fr? Carney's already calling for a united Canada and wants to fix things with the U.S., especially after all the tariff drama and annexation threats. He’s talkin' 'bout building homes, trade routes, and making Canada an energy superpower. Big dreams, we'll see if they manifest.

And let’s not forget about the defeated MPs. They get a severance package, benefits, and maybe even a pension if they put in the time. MPs get some bank if they leave before their time: base salary was $209,800 as of March 31, 2025. Also, Career transition services pay up to $15,000.

Voter turnout was over 67%, so people were definitely feeling the vibes this election. Key issues were jobs, the economy, and keeping things chill with the U.S. Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith is already saying she wants to shake things up with Ottawa, so buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride.
