I was part of a team who produced a non-partisan explainer video about by-elections, the three ongoing, and their impact. Thank you to everyone involved! youtu.be/93zP13Fdx7A?si=qIQJ…

So happy that my friend Patricia Conlin was elected regional councillor for Scugog. She is an absolutely champion, and I can truly say Scugog is lucky to have a true representative who loves her community. She was there for me when I began my political journey, and thank her.

Carolyn Parrish says she's known for the last day or two she wouldn't win and she's at peace now. She says she did a good job but should have simplified her message. "It just wasn't in the cards or the stars or whatever"

Lula won the Brazilian election today, which goes to show that winning an election is not about how many people support you, but how voters turnout. I suspected that Flavio's over-performance in the first round would trigger a panic, allowing for a higher turnout from the left.

The only party to blame for the NDP's loss is the NDP. Even if all Green voters, plus everyone who voted CWP, CentreBC, CHP, Communist, Freedom, Libertarian, OneBC, Independent and Unaffiliated all voted NDP instead, the Conservatives still would have won a majority.

Only 48% of BC voters supported the BC Conservatives, yet the voting system has handed Lorne Doerkson's Conservatives 69% of the seats and 100% of the power. fairvote.ca/25/10/2026/bc-co…

Poliwave was by far the most accurate forecaster of yesterday's BC elections in terms of popular vote and seats: Poliwave got 85 out of 93 seats (91.4%) correct while 338Canada got 81 out of 93 seats (87.1%) correct, the gap will widen even further after mail-in ballots count
FINAL Poliwave BC Electoral Model Update (October 24th) 🔵CON: 58 seats (+14) | 47.7% (+4.4%) 🟠NDP: 33 seats (-14) | 39.7% (-5.2%) 🟢GRN: 2 seats (no change) | 10.5% (+2.3%) 🔵Conservative Majority Government

I am begging polling companies to start giving us data by race, we got ONE this entire campaign and it wasn't even detailed. The source of a lot of seat errors comes down to the fact that for some reason we never get race or religion data in Canadian polling

Dave Eby's election fiasco perfectly explains why Mark Carney didn't call a snap election at the height of his popularity.

Does the PCQ consider themselves to be the spiritual successor of the Union Nationale? If so, this could suggest an overt right-wing alternative for nationalists in Québec, and it gets me wondering what their relationship is with the federal Cons. This will be interesting!
Aujourd’hui, moment solennel et historique. Pour la première fois en 91 ans, un caucus de députés conservateurs sera assermenté à l’Assemblée nationale. L’espoir d’un Quebec plus riche, de Québécois plus libres!

I got that same envelope, but my letter was different, outlining my voting record since 2017. It was quite interesting to find I am tracked. Out of interest, @jaimestein do Conservatives get this info too?

The Bank of Montreal has compared Canada's housing crash to America's in 2008. Prices have nose-dived by 20.5% from early 2022, (when they peaked), and are now roughly at 2021 prices. Keep in mind, homes in the United States collapsed in value by ~26% in 2008!
