At least two networks have declared the Liberals to have won the federal election. It's not clear yet if they'll get a majority yet; we'll have a much better idea about that tomorrow (or in the wee hours tonight if you want to stay up that long).
In my opinion, this is awful news. The Liberals have been in power for the past 10 years and have done a horrible job. All they're really done is replaced Trudeau with Carney who has lied through his teeth and claimed to favour policies which he stole from the Conservatives. He'll be every bit as awful as Trudeau was and very possibly worse. I am confident that he will be revealed to be a massive liar and Canadians will hate him as much as Trudeau in much shorter time.
My only hope is that the Liberals will get a minority government, meaning they have to have the support of at least one other party to keep governing. (It doesn't need to be the same other party for each major vote.) That makes it entirely possible that they will NOT get the critical support they need at the crucial moment and that will lead to another election. I am confident that we won't need to see Carney in office for very long to realize he was a dreadful choice and then we can finally dump the Liberals at the *next* election. (Minority governments average 18 months before they fall.)
The big question is whether this country can survive until the next election. It's staggering how far this country has fallen since Justin Trudeau was elected in 2015. I don't know if this country can handle any more Liberal governance....
