A criticism of @mark-carney.bsky.social at the start of his political career was that he’d have to treat the #cdnmedia with more respect. Watching this post-Trump presser, I think it’ll be the other way around. He’s giving detailed full answers, yet some journalists are playing games #cdnpoli

While @mark-carney.bsky.social is leading Canada through the Trump era, Poilievre is struggling to hold on to 2nd place. Everything about this video reminds me of what the CPC lost in this election. #cdnpoli https://youtu.be/IB5npflfYks?si=GXD6_bCIXCxjpmuW

You see it with @mark-carney.bsky.social, and you saw it with Vladimyr Zelensky, there is an exhaustion world leaders are going through in having to prostrate themselves to Trump. You can see them going through the motions here. #cdnpoli

Our host @Joelmacleod.bsky.social looks at what the ground looks like now that the dust has settled in one of the most historic elections in Canadian history https://905er.ca/2025/05/905-round-up-elections-aftermath/ #The905 #onpoli #cdnpoli #podcast

905 Round-Up: Election Aftermath #the905 #cdnpoli #onpoli #podcast

Something to ponder here, does Pierre running to save his career in #abpoli safest #CPC seat, force the party into becoming more and more a party of Western alienation rather than the national interest? #cdnpoli #onpoli

Since everything has to be political,…I’d really love it if Doug Ford got Stan Cho to bring Formula E racing to #topoli. Boost that Auto electrification industry here in #onpoli and make for a really exciting weekend of racing during the summer! Can we make this happen? #formulae #racing

Tell me how this isn’t a pitch to double down on the incel crowd?

I saw this post from @stephenmaher.bsky.social on X. It shows how much of a danger the CPC find themselves in now. Poilievre struck a chord with people because of a tight scripted message and Comms strategy. When the media were let in somewhat, look how quickly that came undone. #cdnpoli

Okay I’m done for the night folks. We’ll see how the dust settles in the morning. #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Okay this speech by @mark-carney.bsky.social is striking the right tone for a new PM. Eager to see what he does next #cdnpoli

Okay, we're entering the area of "Poilievre might actually lose his seat, but hold on"

200 polls reporting, 51,000 votes counted Pierre Poilieve is still trailing by 4.5% in his home riding

What a picture.

Jason Kenney is making his pitch to replace Poilievre right now on @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social in not so many words #cdnpoli #elxn45

🇨🇦 huge congrats to PM Mark Carney for a successful campaign! 👏🏻 Liberals upped their vote % in every region. 🍁 #CanadaStrong congrats also to my MP Elizabeth May for re-election in the Saanich-GulfIslands riding. ✅ 🇨🇦 stands strong vs threats to our sovereignty. 🇨🇦 🍁 #ElbowsUp

Poilievre is speaking now because they know he’s going to lose his seat. This is a pitch to keep the only job he’s had. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Poilievre is trying to spin this as a positive, even though he blew the biggest lead in #cdnpoli history

I just saw Jamil Jivani's statements on CBC. Politicians rarely say exactly what they think without filtering themselves.

Poilievre is humbled for the first time in his career. You can see it in his eyes. #cdnpoli

Okay so in his first time running @mark-carney.bsky.social has not only won government, but appears to have taken out his two main rivals seats. Has this happened before in #cdnpoli?

Okay so Poilievre blew a 20+ lead and lost his seat? The knives are being sharpened as we speak. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Can anyone tell me realistically if Poilievre loses his seat, how he can stay on as CPC leader after tonight? #cdnpoli

The votes are pouring in, but ... the gap isn't closing yet
