The Election That Everyone Lost

from The Discourse · host The Discourse

Canada has spoken… kind of. The Liberals are back with a minority, the Conservatives won the West but lost the race, and the NDP? Well, Jagmeet Singh lost his seat and resigned. This week, Cheryl and Erika are unfiltered, exhausted, and deeply in their feels. They dig into: Why this was an election where every party lost something Poilievre’s future: is he safe from the Conservative firing squad? How the NDP holds the balance of power despite a devastating loss The East-West divide: is Canada more fractured than ever? What Danielle Smith’s post-election statement reveals about her strategy Why separatist talk in Alberta is growing louder—and riskier Plus: the subtle power moves behind leadership speculation, the role of advance votes, and what Mark Carney must do in his first 90 days to calm the country down. This is the episode where no one gets spared—except maybe Donald Trump, who might be the only person grinning at the results.
