To give a bit of context. The person in second, Pierre Poilievre, is the leader of the Conservative party and campaigned for Prime Minister of Canada. Canadians don’t vote directly for Prime Minister. The country is divided into a few hundred ridings and each riding gets to elect a Member of Parliament. The party with the most MPs gets to form government, and their leader becomes the Prime Minister.
Not only has Poilievre failed to win enough seats for the Conservative party to form government, he might not even win his own seat. A seat he has held for 20 years. It would be embarrassing for him and hilarious for all the Canadians that think he’s a dickhead.
Perhaps I’m a cynic, but a hell of a lot of us do want that apparently. I’m stoked about the lib minority, but saddened by how many of us still voted conservative.
I know nothing about canadian politics, but Fanjoy looks like he is having a lot of fun and joy. 😺

Thanks for clarification!
As in he won’t be elected as a member of parliament because not enough people voted for him in his region?
He wasn’t elected.
Results are in.
Bro for real?!
CBC shows P.P. as defeated.
Singh also was defeated.
The co-leader of Green too. Jonathan. May still held hers.
Oh an Maxime didn’t get a seat either :)
A little sad about Singh, but c’est la vie.
Greens: well that’s a result.
Fuckin perfect that Maxime didn’t get a seat AGAIN.
I think it was Singh’s time TBH. He brought the NDP as far as he could. Hopefully the new leader will do better.
So, Canadians did want change.
Well you could say they didn’t want the kind of change where the whole country gets gutted and sold for parts.

Lol, so you can have a number of fake members who get elected so you always get people that you like in parliament?
