Ok, 44 to 41, not 25. NDP dropped like a lead balloon and Libs increased due to Trudeau quitting/pushed out, Carney in via a softball leadership race (spoofed, really). Toss in Trump tarrifs/51st State fears.
Oh and don't forget, Carney air dropped into a riding he's never lived in, kicking out a Lib who did have a seat in a 'safe riding'
PP couldn't go to Carleton early enough since he was going all over the country to campaign on a very short campaign. Carleton was never guaranteed, in the past, about 52% CPC / 44% LPC. CPC hq didn't do enough there for sure.
Not sure about how things will work, I do hope the best for Carney.
LPC probably feel best if PP stays as the Leader of the CPC, especially if they go to an election in 2 years to get a majority (see 2021 try).
