What worries me tomorrow is a minority government, yet again. More partisan fighting in the leg, hard to get any bills through, threats of non confidence and yet another costly election sooner rather than later, and my social media flooded once again with propaganda from both sides.

For what it's worth the social 'influencers' (I hate the word) from the Liberal support side has been downright insulting and rude; maybe the algorithm wanted me to see that material, who knows.

All I know is I'm happy to see this over with in the next 24 hrs (or so) and the propaganda/lies calming down, for a while at least.

I'm not super pro either side, but I do feel it's uncanny to think how different this election is if it takes place just a few months ago after Jagmeet 'ripped up the coalition agreement'. And after the disastrous by elections for the LPC.

The only reason I wouldn't mind an unlikely CPC majority is seeing Pierre vs Trump and a genuine change in govt (which is reasonable after a decade regardless of how good or bad it was).

If Pierre is PM and flops hard, then LPC supermajority in 2029 or sooner.

But ending this post, it will be fascinating to see things play out tomorrow. And again, happy to see this over with.
