Bitcoin champion, convoy enthusiast and walking climate disaster Pierre Poilievre is officially the new leader of the "Conservative" Party of Canada. I'm told I should be *very* afraid he'll become the Prime Minster. I'm not. I don't think he has a hope in hell đ§”#cdnpoli 
People have short memories and the (ongoing) pandemic feels like a lifetime ago which is why Canadians may need reminding what "Conservative" leadership would have looked like during that time had Polly been PM. No CERB. No nothing. You're on your own. /2
Might as well nip this in the bud: I'm not AT ALL advising anybody "let their guard down". I think this generation of "Conservatives" need the electoral reckoning of their entire existence so all future generations know not to float this extremist garbage at Canadians. /3
đšđŠLa soirĂ©e dâĂ©lection fĂ©dĂ©rale anticipĂ©e est passĂ©e au #Canada.
Une occasion pour comprendre plus finement lâarchitecture politique de ce pays et son traitement mĂ©diatique.
Apparemment, on est sur quelque chose de comparable Ă une dissolution dâassemblĂ©e nationale.

Les parlementaires représentent chacun une des 338 circonscriptions. Le scrutin se fait en 1 tour et le parti ayant le plus de député élu choisi son premier ministre. Le cap des 170 (338/2 + 1) députés note la majorité au parlement, facilitant les décisions du gouvernement.
Au-delĂ du nombre de dĂ©putĂ©s, un parti ayant eu la majoritĂ© de dĂ©putĂ© peut ne pas avoir la majoritĂ© des suffrages (un peu comme Ă lâamĂ©ricaine), mais ce sont le dĂ©putĂ© qui compte.
Les Canadiens semblent sâorienter vers un gouvernement minoritaire c.-Ă -d. avec moins de 157 siĂšges.

During this election, Iâve seen a ton of hypocrisy and dishonesty in #ConservativeParty attacks, and compiled some of this

#cpc claim: Trudeau bought the media and it was all biased for him.
Picture: most media in Canada is heavily biased in favour of the conservatives, and has been for years.

An example of why election reform matters.
I live in Simcoe North, a historically Conservative riding with @bruce_stanton holding office since 2006 and confirmed for another term yesterday.
The problem starts when you look at the actual numbers.

While Stanton is fairly well respected in the riding, he actually pulled in a minority of votes and even combining the 3 conservative parties running locally still nets a minority of the vote.
The majority of the riding voted for one of the progressive candidates but, because of how the votes split up, none of the progressives won. This happened because the progressive candidates polled closer together while Stanton polled far better than other conservative candidates
