It's true. Most Americans couldn't name world leaders from other countries, let alone candidates' names prior to an election. Trump has forced us to be more aware of world events & even more aware of how our own government functions. Many people didn't know the purpose of various roles & agencies.
These past 100 days we've had this nightmare regime in office, we need every bit of good news we can get.
Congrats, 🇨🇦 neighbors! We hope you'll forgive us. Living vicariously through you until we can finally clean our House out of all of its petrified fossils.
Well don’t fall asleep. Authoritarianism lurks around the corner. Don’t use these years between elections to rest. Make sure your media doesn’t become propaganda
I watched it all night.
Learned geography
They report votes in ridings (districts) like 57 to 36 as they come in when only 1 polling district in 263 has reported.
Mostly done by 10PM when they declared that Liberals/Carney won.
Relieved!
Their mini Trump loser didn’t claim election fraud.
Having been born in Canada, spent summers on the muskoka river near bracebridge. Later on the pickerel river near Sudbury. Holidays in Toronto with family. I hold Canada closest to my heart. Weaved in the fabric of my being. Never more proud. Elbows up forever
It's taken trump to wake us up to serious possibilities. The best thing is realize just how wonderful you guys really are. I'm so grateful to have you as neighbors.
Congratulations!! Canadians should be proud that they stood up for their democracy after seeing what Americans failed to see in this extreme right wing agenda. I'm happy for our true friends in Canada.
Even though we are screwed down here and our government isn’t caring much about you - we do! And wanted better for you than what we have! Kudos to Canada!!
🏴 I think it's been watched by the whole western world.
I for one am relieved and delighted to see how Canada has taken on 🍊 and the positive effects that's had.
Keep up the great work 🇨🇦👍🫶
It's a Canadian electoral district. It has roughly 120,000 Canadians in each riding, more or less. Each electoral district elects one Member of Parliament.
To tell you the truth,many of us are envious that your Country 🇨🇦 was smart enough to recognize the nightmare of an authoritarian President! We’re happy for you,that you have elected a smart, responsible leader. I only hope our Country finds the courage needed to #RemoveTrump from office soon!
Well, my mom was always in my face. She's from Nova Scotia, so I'm aware of Canada 🤣 I'm hoping to become an anchor baby again, but to a warmer part of Canada lol
Because we’re depending on you, neighbors, to drive a stake through the heart of the Trump regime via your response to his illegal tariffs. And because we’re very happy for you!
Canada is an example of how a multi-cultural, multi-party country can come together in good faith to elect the leaders we feel meet the moment.
We sympathize with our American friends that are under assault by a madman...a clear result of the corruption that unlimited money has fostered in America.
We're happy for you and for your good decisions. It awakens a feeling of nostalgia in us...a whisper of a remembered past when we, too, elected competent leaders of good character. Perhaps someday in the future we can be like Canada....
It was so *nice* of your IMPERIAL SOVEREIGN King Charles III, By Grace of GOD King of Canada and LORD of ALL of His Subjects who live there, to let you people have a little election!
If you're good and obedient to your King he might even acknowledge & respect this 'democracy' thing you're doing...
I grew up in the san juan islands just below the b.c. border listening to Canadian radio. I still stream it at work daily in tacoma. I've always ❤️🇨🇦💯 the best neighbor (can I spend the night? The government is under my bed 🛌 )
Since January I've started getting US news coverage from CBC. And in the process learning so much about today's Canada. Hugs to you from the sane part of the US.
I don’t think I’ve ever followed an election that wasn’t an American one more closely. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters and to see you all reject bullying and Trumpism gives this cynical American some shred of hope.
Thank you we hope to emulate the #canadianelection with a strong leader and oust our opposition 'Maga' leader in his seat and his position as opposition leader. Just like PP (hopefully).
There are many Australians who are keenly interested as well. Hoping for a similar rout this Saturday that will see the Trump-loving Dutton consigned to permanent irrelevance.
I was glued to the CBC livestream until bedtime last night and returned to it for several more hours this morning. Lots of anxiety watching the numbers bounce up and down.
I have never watched one until tonight. Now for just trying to understand the whole majority/minority thing and how that works. lol So happy for you all!
Basically bills have to meet a certain threshold to be passed, and a minority Liberal government has to work with the NDP/Greens to get resolutions and bills passed*. Its still good for the same of us, but the fight isn't over.
*Don't quote me on this, I was a theatre major lol.
I'll admit it freely, I've never followed a Canadian election before. This time though, it was obvious that anyone with a functioning brain could see how important it was.
I'm so happy for your people. I'm as envious as can be.
Of course we are! We (most of Americans) truly don't want you to have to live in fear like we do! And, well, we support our friends. Congratulations! (I AM a little envious thought!)
Nice to be proud of a country again- even if it's not my own.
America is full of Canadian pride, because the right guy won.
Imagine how much that burns Trump's ass to contemplate.
It was a first for me but I was constantly refreshing the feed hoping for sanity to hold on
Canada.Good job to all who saw the threat of unbridled power grab by Fascism.
Cause we love you. So much. And we don’t want we have for you. We need the rest of the free world sane while we try to deal with this fascist POS and hopefully clean house.
Most folks likely don't realize the fascists are outnumbered.
GOP in USA has been gerrymandering and organizing the theocratic fascist heritage foundation operation red map since the raygun era while dems do whatever it is they do.
They'll have to come thru us to get to your family.
We do see and respect you ALL!! the majority of us in amerikkka are NOT held by the spell of the orange demon. We wish you all a healthy and happy going forth with your new competent leader.
It feels reassuring to know that sanity and human decency can still prevail, even if we've lost it in our country. We haven't had much to work with in terms of hope over here.
Not sure if many Americans knew whether Canada elects a President or a Prime Minister, before this election-thanks Trump, for educating the fellow North Americans. And 🖕 orange piece of 💩, disgusting excuse for a human being. #never51
Well, theirs was a failure.
Maybe they wanted to see how it was done.
And instead of spending two years and billions of dollars, we did it, start to finish, in six weeks.
Paper ballots, hand-counted, no insurrections, and the loser won't be whining for the next four years.
That's right. We vote in our local electoral district for a member of parliament. Whoever has the most members of parliament is invited to form a government. The leader of the political part with the most seats generally gets to be prime minister, always if they hold a majority of seats.
Correct. Each party elects a leader and they campaign for a couple of months before the election. Voters vote for their local MP to get their seat in parliament and the party with the most seats forms the government.
This is the first time I followed a Canadian election. I'm happy to see our well deserving and much loved neighbor be the recipient of good news. I'm happy for you and wish you the best.
I'm a U.S. citizen & am envious but really happy for you/Canada that you will have Carney leading you.
I think Carney will be an excellent leader & will put Trump to shame
Congrats & bravo Canada!!
Yeah, Trump’s garbage mouth backfired on him again! I’m an American and I travel to B.C. for vacation at least twice a year. One of my favorite places on earth with some of the best people on earth.
So thrilled you elected a sane head of state to battle the orange menace. Congratulations!
Yeah, we've been kind of sucking at that lately, so we were hoping to get a few tips.
Looks like y'all did great. I love the whole thing where voting counts and a lot of people do it. That rocks my socks.
No. Hoping other countries don’t make the same stupid mistake. It’s a bonus that it pisses off the rapist. It’s always nice to see the people he backs, fail.

We have a whole politics discourse and everything!
The World is looking at you...
The result of the libs is the most sensational resurrection since Lazarus! 👍
We apologize.
Seeing the ocean of progress surge and storm after this horrific desert of regressivism...
Keep it up. We're lagging, but we're not done.

Please explain to us what "riding" means.
And not that I care now, but is it "Pole-a-Veer?"
Rhymes with "Revere?"
I'm so relieved
Now send help!!! 😩
We'll clean our house. We are just trying to do so peacefully. That takes time. #DumpTrump #noKings #noFacists

Good luck on your imminent electoral event, Zena!
You have proven that Canadians really are much smarter than Americans.
As an American , I am so happy about that !!

Canada is a friend and we love you down here
We're pretty desperate down here lately.
I'll pay a tariff on critical reasoning if you'll ship it in bulk. Maybe add some to your "Yuge Faucet." Sprinkle it on the snowcaps.
We'll even call it soda while we Netflix and chill.

Thank you Canada
It never ends well when your country is on the u.s. radar

At the polls, you didn’t vote for the PM, just local MPs. Right?
We don't pick leaders.
Congratulations, Canada! You did it!
✨️🎉🎈💙🙏if
Your unity and success gives us hope we can overcome these difficult times. You did so well.
Congratulations and Elbows Up!

I think Carney will be an excellent leader & will put Trump to shame
Congrats & bravo Canada!!
Hosers.
Well done Canada
Elbows up
Congratulations Mr Carney
I am glad the rest of my country finally recognized what I knew all along: Canada is FABULOUS!
There’s a difference.
So thrilled you elected a sane head of state to battle the orange menace. Congratulations!
