America's Hat decides to make its election about Trump because even Canadian Boomers are addicted to American news fear pron

But first, the actual results:

A single party needs 172 seats in Parliament for a majority. Labor has a lead in the counts of 168 seats. It looks like they'll have to create a coalition with one other third party to make a majority while the Conservative Party sits in second place with 144 seats.

It's a win. It's a pretty strong win. But I think that the results are being oversold a bit. This feels more like Pierre Poilievre was a deeply underwhelming candidate who ran on no platform other than continuing immigration levels while not being Trudeau and giving conservative voters little reason to turn out for him and his party.

Still, those high propensity Canadian Boomer-libs sure did find a reason to come out to the polls, something they were probably going to do anyway.

Look at that second set of bars in the X post below. 50% of Canadians over 60 said that "Dealing with Donald Trump" was one of their main reasons for voting in this election. Dear lord. Don't you people have, like, your own country?

But, now that you've had your data, how about a juicy bit of anecdote?

Canadian woman reveals her vote was entirely for who to "take care" best of Trump.

But yes, the Liberal Party won:

Candian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who won the election Monday to officially replace former leader Justin Trudeau, warned that President Trump is “trying to break us.”

In remarks following the victory, securing Carney a full term, he argued that Trump has “fundamentally changed” the world in recent months — pointing to sweeping tariffs and his proposal for Canada to merge with the U.S.

I'm not too broken up about this. Why? It's not my damn country. If Canada wants to import the third world while selling 10% of its former exports to the world that's not the US (their economy is roughly 70% exports to us), then they can do that. Sorry good Morons north of the border. You watched us make some really dumb political choices at the top for a while, and we get to watch you continue to make some more because your olds are more concerned with Rachel Maddow's opinion of Donald Trump than your own housing problems...caused by the influx of immigration.

Gotta make that GDP line go up, even that means importing hundreds of thousands of people a year who...don't contribute to the GDP.

Also, here's a look at Mark Carney:

Ladies and gentlemen,

Meet the Prime Minister of Canada and his wife.
