I always vote NDP but I switched to Liberal only because of Trump.

Other than DT Toronto, Southern Ontario still showing a lot of blue (con) on the CBC map.

Seems likely that it's a minority government - which will take a long time to explain how that works to Trump voters in rural diners

Trump doesn’t concede elections.  He either wins or says it was fixed.    

Sure it seems ridiculous, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see him start the rhetoric of an unjust liberal fixed election to begin a hostile military takeover of Canada.

We have boots on the ground so I am concerned with sending more. I chuckled when K. Harris stated we have no troops in current war zones anywhere in the world. Then Marines stationed there posted a video in response asking "Then were the hell are we at?".

We, just like Trump dodged a bullet this election.

If having an ignorant authoitarian madman as the President is escaping a bullt, then we escaped a bullet.  He's an absolute disgrace.

Ontario keeps voting for Doug Ford for some reason so it's not surprising.

Trump seems to be giving the far right dictator wannabes a bad name. Another loo for the Big Orange Blob

I’m wonder how long until China invades Taiwan.

It's looking increasingly likely that Peter Magyar is going to beat autocrat Viktor Orban in the Hungarian general election today and become their next leader. It looks like his TISZA party will get a strong majority over Orban's fascist Fidesz party as well. I hope this happens!!!

I hope there's not violence during the transition and I hope that the US is not in the middle of it.

Orban conceded. That should eliminate any possibility of violence. Maybe, at least 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Amazing! Viktor Orban and the Fiedsz party lost and Peter Magyar and the TISZA has won. Fascism was beat back in Hungary and democracy won!!!

While this falls in the relatively innocuous “world politics” bin…

The fallout from this is very cross-cutting.
