I was nervous to go to bed last night so relieved it went liberal. my mom always voted liberal (voted for the OG Trudeau!) but since she has been with her current partner she has gotten more and more conservative. unfortunately, I think its all about "the immigrants" for her, I have tried to explain it's not as simple as saying no immigration, healthcare, childcare, logistics, IT, so many industries rely heavily on the skills new Canadians bring. I love my mom but comments like "I don't understand why they dress like that? If they are coming here, they should dress like us". Lots of "them" do, some choose not to, how does that affect you in ANY way?!?! my FB is generally happy/relieved. my cousin posted "Carney is officially changing the words to the national anthem to "the land of the dumb and the home of the sheep".

Very thankful for the tiniest bit of hopeful resistance, and for everyone who got out to vote 
(Though Poilievre losing his seat was deeply and smugly satisfying.)

And we have orange and green thrown in there as well. But I don't see either of those colours making any leaps this election. and light blue for the Bloc Quebecios. Canada is left red liberal and right blue conservatives. Whether who I voted for wins or not it always sucks when the election is over before the polls have even closed in the west. Makes it feel like your vote doesn't count. I liked it better when we had to wait for the last polls to be closed also and I'm in Ontario.
