Maybe it would help if we proposed putting the second track in a tunnel under the first one?

Looks like they should have used a magic eraser to remove Melanie Joy instead of awkwardly cropping her out.
Not showing her and with respect is telling.

Great idea! Why has no one done this yet??

That's a nice idea.
First step, get rid of Trump.
Repeat the first step until successful.
Then we'll think about it
Canada

No. But there is a fluency test on gesticulating before you're admitted as an immigrant.

Wow! I can't imagine. My aunt just died at 78 but was first diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 33. Thankfully she raised her 5 kids and saw their children grow into young adults. A great source of love and inspiration.

Western alienation is nothing new. It's what led to the popularity of the Reform Party in the 90s. In part due to a lack of representation in the Federal government of the 80s. It never has become a serious separation movement and is not likely to do so now. But doesn't mean west can be ignored.

Maybe not but they should have been able to win as Liberals

Good insight.
At the same time though, Waterloo Region is the same as Hamilton, London and Windsor. All should have (more) Liberal seats.
Doug Ford's influence maybe?

Waterloo Region really let Canada down. At minimum, all the incumbent Liberals should have been re-elected.

You're right. Any Conservative will be bound by party discipline. And one without strong local knowledge can't possibly come anywhere close to Morrice's efforts.
Hopefully he'll squeak out a victory yet.

He hasn't officially lost yet. I expect he's ahead in votes still to be counted. Though I'm pessimistic it will be enough.

There were no polls in Kitchener Centre. There were prediction models but they are unable to reflect local campaign dynamics outside of the norm.
More signs do reflect the strength of a local campaign. But even a strong local campaign can be affected by national and provincial voting trends.

At the same time, Liberal support in Kitchener Centre appears to have cost Mike Morrice and the Greens a seat. Shows how very difficult it is to go against larger national and provincial trends.
Hopefully Morrice will find a way to return to Parliament Hill.

I'm particularly concerned about the strength of Conservative support. Particularly in Waterloo Region but also southwest Ontario and Ontario generally.
With the strength of the Liberals naturally, they should have performed better here. They should have kept their existing seats and added some

Mike Morrice will easily win Kitchener Centre for the Greens. Again.
He'll get plenty of attention and deservedly so.

Polievre is only saying this 3 months too late.

Election Day equivalent of “I told you to never call me here!”

True.
I didn't realize how little support Canada had gotten from Americans time til Rolling Stone pointed it out

We know which leader is capable of building new international alliances. Only one has the necessary experience.

Grenier is wrong. Just as he didn't expect Morrice to win in 2021 despite a strong second in 2019.
His methodology doesn't take into account the hyperlocal data that puts Morrice on top by a good margin
The same riding has also voted Green twice provincially in the last 2 years.

Maybe. He'll continue make the outsized impact though he's made over the last 4 years. And bulld the case for more Green MPs.

And if you want a Liberal government, you can be confident that you can get that too.

That's where the sea of Green signs across the riding, lots of ads and an active campaign with volunteers on the streets come into play.
In Kitchener Centre, voting Green is the choice for positive change for Canada
comment in response to

Especially when even 338 shows Kitchener Centre as "leaning Green" and being the most likely Green seat.
And I'd suggest it doesn't have enough local data to make an accurate prediction.
