"With more than 98% of the vote counted, CBC News declared that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, a man who looked all but certain to be Canada's next prime minister just a few months ago, lost against Mark Carney.

Said Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE): "The Liberals in Canada were losing big until our president kept mocking Canadians, our neighbors and close friends. He made Canadian Liberals great again."

Canada's Liberals must be grateful to "Sleepy Don" by backing Poilievre because everything Trumpf touches dies.

OTTAWA: In an emotional victory speech late Monday night, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney thanked Donald J. Trump for his stunning election win.

"I don't deserve credit for this victory," Carney, choking back tears, told his supporters. "Donald, I couldn't have done it without you."

Carney received congratulatory calls from dozens of other world leaders whose political careers have been boosted by Trump, including Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"It's like I told you, man," Zelenskyy reportedly told the Canadian. "Trump is magic."

While most Americans oppose making Canada the 51st state, a majority of Joe Rogan listeners favor it, saying they would like to live in the same country as their girlfriends.

I am very proud of Canada and the Canadians.

Trump, of course, is taking this personally and is asking the Pentagon for war planning against Ottawa.

If American nationalism were as strong as Canadian nationalism there never would have been a Donald Trump.

I went out into my deeply Conservative riding this afternoon and the general post-election buzz is thus:

1) The Liberal party needs to re-evaluate their platform and consider the future of their party after this humiliating loss.

2) Jagmeet Singh losing his own seat shows that the voters recognize him as a weak, ineffective leader and he should resign from politics forever.

3) Pierre Poilievre losing his own seat does not mean any of those things.

I was happy for the Ecole Polytechnique survivor. Crazy to think how things different might be in light of the ongoing 21st century dis-integrationist trend, if Quebec had gone independent.

Hi Redial-- thanks for the precis. Um, I think you meant to write "Conservative party" in line one. Too bad about Jagmeet. I guess Mr Carney will have to work with BQ or somebody since he is three seats short of a majority.
