Totally worth getting up early here in Iceland 🇮🇸 to see the elections results rolling in live back home in #Canada🇨🇦 With these results Parliament is likely going to be a rough ride, but this could also be an opportunity to push for further change (even electoral reform). #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elbowsup - ThreadSky

What would the consequences of liberals cosying up to BQ. I see they are the largest party after the conservatives and the New Dems are lacking a leader? #Canada #Carney

For reasons too lengthy to list here the BQ would never formally support a coalition Federal Government, so if the Liberals want certainty and stability their path forward to stay in power will involve the NDP (and maybe Elizabeth May as Speaker of the House), depending on the final results.

Thanks. I've been watching Canada from the perspective of your universities. Interesting to see there would be reluctance on both sides. I look forward to reading your posts. The Aussie federal elections will be interesting and maybe seeing results will be possible as well as getting sleep sleep

In Scotland but not Canadian but I too have been using the CBC website. V addictive and I really should have been trying to sleep. So glad the libs will be the largest party just wish they could get a majority

Another minority government isn't the worse-case scenario here - in fact, having the Liberals kept in check by the remaining NDP and Green MPs so it can't govern completely centre-right (as they tend to do when in a majority situation) might be the best outcome at this time.

Sounds like a plan. It is sweet that the Conservatives leader looks like he will lose. I have clips from our election last yr of key Tories losing their seats. Politically and economically things are dire but watching a former Tory MP lose her seat again and again is sweet
