Blake Desjarlais losing his seat — to anyone, let alone this guy — is heartbreaking and a stain on tonight.

Strategic voting for me but not for thee

He would have lost to anything Blue, even a damn raccoon 🦝 if you checked in with most of those voters I bet

I hope he will move to the provincial NDP. AB needs him.

What moved these people to refuse to vote strategically? Ugh

Almost like the whole “you have to vote strategically or you’re a bad person” act of the last several years was only ever if it worked out in their benefit, kind of like how voting reform disappeared when they thought it wouldn’t benefit them

if we had ranked choice he'd have taken it, even with Liberals splitting the vote

Peter Julian also looks to be losing his seat in New West to a Conservative. Both big losses for Canada, two of our best MPs. I hope we will see more of Blake in the future.

Sickening. Rebel news reporter wins seat ☹️

It's too bad we don't have solid riding level poling, I bet more Liberals would have swung their votes, but there is no way to strategically vote with confidence.

Sure, but like "vote for the incumbant if you can" seems like a pretty obvious rule-of-thumb
