@blondie @Renauda @xenon What is the mood/thoughts on the election today?
No different from yesterday. Liberal majority. Poilievre is toast as Conservative leader and the party will split yet again. NDP will also be decimated.

Seriously, Trump should just stop:

Trump grows evermore loathsome as each day passes.

January 1st he was a shoe-in for PM. Today he loses his day job. It’s quite a reversal of fortune.

Liberal Canada is going to be so jealous when they see all those factory jobs in America.

Why did the New Democratic Party reduce so much? What is their "platform"?

I'm guessing 60% of them jumped to the liberal party ship, along with 10% of the conservatives. To answer your question, I think the New Dem Part is "left" of the liberal party, so perhaps folks were looking for pragmatic moderation in order to defeat the conservatives.

When I lived there the main reason to vote NDP seemed to be to feel better about yourself. I'm not sure whether that's still true. Presumably left-leaning people felt it was more important to vote for somebody who can actually win?

What’s
weirdoddtotally predictable is that Trump bragged about this in an interview yesterday. Not that he wanted the liberal party to win, he was just bragging about his power to fuck things up anywhere. -

He's already screwing the GOP for 2026 so maybe this is like 7D chess?

Same reason that workers in the US were attracted to the populist messaging of the MAGA movement Republicans. Progressive policies are, for the most part, disdainful to the enlightened urban proletariat.
Likewise, the more centre left NDP voters cast the ballots for the Carney Liberals in order to fend off the more populist Poilievre Conservatives.
The NDP essentially had no coherent platform other than tax, spend and cater to populist identity politics.
Even with only seven seats in Parliament, the NDP can continue to hold the balance of power to prop up the Liberal minority which has largely abandoned the progressive policies of the Trudeau era. If anything, last night’s election spelt the end of the more radical Progressivist domestic politics that have characterised much the last decade in Canada.
I expected Liberal majority and the decimation of the NDP. I am however pleased to see a Liberal minority - although ballots in some Ridings still being counted and the results could end with a razor thin Liberal majority. Most of all I am very pleased to see a resounding rejection of Progressivist populism on the left and a reining in of reactionary populism masquerading as conservatism on the right.
Overall, a big win for Canada from coast to coast, north and south.
