@gemelliz Let's have a repeat of 2007 when John Tory, as leader of the Ontario Conservatives, lost his own seat in the General Election to Kathleen Wynne then in 2009 he lost a by-election to get back into the legislature in one of the safest Conservative seats in Ontario. Finally getting the message he resigned the next day.

Given the results of this election moderate Conservative Party of Canada members should consider who their dancing partners are and whether it might be better to go separate ways similar to what moderates did from the now officially certified as extremist AfD in 2015:

"Most grim is the demographic breakdown of voters. We saw, in droves, working-class voters (including union workers) shift to the right—an acceleration of a long-term trend of class dealignment among political parties. Where working class voters used to reliably vote for their class interests—that is, for the left—they voted, in large numbers, for a right-wing, anti-worker party." https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/beyond-elbows-up-our-election-post-mortem/
The biggest losers this election:
Pierre Polievere
The NDP

Oh boy! Gotta' be vigilant #Canada. Modi eyes us! The Cons elected rabid, racist right-wingers Gunn, Lewis, Lantsman, Jivani among others! The Red Tories have taken over the Liberals. Progressive NDP MLAs were defeated and that party diminished. Only 1 Green voice remains. And the most populated province seems to have an inordinately high number of voters who are angry Freedom Convoyers!!! https://www.oneindia.com/international/canada-elections-2025-pm-modi-congratulates-liberal-partys-mark-carney-eyes-to-better-india-canad-4138317.html
Bruce Fanjoy might be my new favourite person. Every time his riding came up on the CBC coverage last night, my girlfriend and I cheered!
Time for our usual election-night coattail-ride

"the ongoing #genocide in #Palestine is not a single issue. #Indigenous rights, children’s rights, land rights, resource extraction and #climate change are all in play, much as they are here in #Canada. Canadians deserve federal leaders who can see these connections, as this is where solutions lie." https://www.nnsl.com/home/yk-ceasefire-group-calls-out-mp-candiates-on-comments-about-gaza-7965229
Hate to shame other Northerners but really #Nunavut and #NWT, #dobetter. #cdnpoli #cdnElxn #Elxn45 #democracy #VotingMatters
Like elsewhere in #Canada, voters in the #NWT do not seem to understand jurisdictional responsibility nor do they fully appreciate the need to protect #humanRights, #IndigenousRights, #water, and the health of our #ecosystems. https://cabinradio.ca/234188/news/politics/how-fort-simpson-voters-are-assessing-which-party-to-support/
"If the next government can so easily ignore #Indigenous rights, then the many rights and freedoms enjoyed by all Canadians are also at risk." https://breachmedia.ca/what-the-federal-election-means-for-indigenous-rights/
"This fake firebrand was on the verge of victory. If Mark Carney wins, he will govern in Poilievre’s shadow." Yep, #Canada has lurched to the right and we have no political party that is committed to bringing government back to the people. https://breachmedia.ca/even-if-pierre-poilievre-loses-the-election-he-will-have-jolted-canada-rightward/
