Justin Trudeau will continue to govern as PM despite the fact that two-thirds of the population wanted someone else. So much for the SNC-Lavalin debacle and the old fashioned notion of ethics. He is a winner by default albeit in a minority government.
The most undeserving part winner though is the NDP, who can make the call on key points despite the fact that their performance at the polls was dismal. More tax-the-rich to appease the masses. Same violin tune. Different year. No thought to the obvious question as to how wealth is generated in the first place.
News Flash...it ain't big government.
The big winner though is the Bloc Quebecois which of course means a return to the days of constitutional blackmail.
My message to the Tories though - is that you blew it. The popular vote counts for nothing if you can’t turn that advantage into seats. The party needs a new leader STAT. Rona Ambrose is the obvious choice. Taking back the 905 area is key. Andrew Scheer simply didn't cut it. Not enough distance between him and the Liberals. Charisma matters when you are up against PM Selfie. Max Bernier could have had a crack at it once upon a time, but his giant hissy fit cost him.
The Greens won an extra seat but In terms of policy they really are not needed. The Liberals own their environmental talking points anyway. If you can't do a decent job as spoilers on the left then exit la gauche.
Climate change will happen regardless of the vaunted plans out there. Although a crop of renewable energy subsidy hogs may grow richer in the process with the rest of Canada footing the bill. If the elites were serious about the problem they would provide more funding for nuclear energy. Enough with this virtue signalling and system of kickbacks.
My heart goes out to Alberta who will be continue to pay the price for the environmental hysteria. Expect the state of the nation to worsen because of it.
With respect though to the country as a whole the Canadian debt will grow as key budget problems are kicked further down the road. Don't even get me started on unfunded liabilities and our poor economic growth. Food Prices are going through the roof while wages are stagnant. If Trudeau went to the supermarket himself, instead of schmoozing with the Trust Fund Generation, he would realize this. I am not holding my breath here.
Yes it will be more of the same. The NDP will drag the Liberals further to the left and future generations will pay the price for our economic folly.
Was there an election? Yes there was. Will we learn anything from it? Not bloody likely.
