Razor close?

Why because it’s a minority government?

You know, a minority government is closer to actual democracy than a majority one. This just forces everyone to work together.

It’s “razor-close” because of the how many individual ridings were within tens of votes. There will be tons of recounts. The result could’ve easily been much different, and may still be different. This was a very close election.

Because it was within 3 riding of a majority and a ton of the riding were close calls and a bunch of risings on both sides flipped.

I’d call that razor close.

The PC needed a majority to win. It was not close.

It was way closer than it should have been. Over 41% of a highly engaged electorate at best saw no deal breakers in Poilievre’s platform. That’s got to be unsettling to anyone with any form of vulnerability or marginalized position. Nearly half of Canadians are ready to see you as an optional inconvenience under (unrelated, no less) pressured circumstances.

The battle for this nation’s soul is far from concluded.

He doesn’t need his dick to be hard, pp just needs to digitally massage Muskys prostate so he can dribble into another test tube and gender select an male child.
