Needs to mark “Trump says he wants to annex Canada” as a vertical line.

You need to have an indicator for Trump’s first 51st state comments regardless that is a stark change. Also as a dumb American seems a lot of loses came from this New Democratic Party what is the deal with them and why did they lose more then the conservatives?

It must be nice to live in a country that, when confronted with fascism, makes a decisive stand against it. So much so that Pierre went from virtually guaranteed to be the next prime minister to losing his own seat in the election three months later.

The first time I remember Trump saying he wanted to annex Canada was early January 2025, if anyone can remember anything earlier please correct me!
Interesting that Conservative support only dropped about 5pts, but progressives and liberals banding together around a single candidate was what led to success.
America could learn something.

Now mark where Trump is sworn in, and his 51st state BS.

Feels like Trump being inaugurated and Trump threatening to annex Canada, and Trump imposing harsh unilateral tariffs on Canada would make better demarcation lines on this map.

Is there a candidate that would consider our man-child’s 51st state insanity?

The Liberal Party of Canada better thank Don the Con for gift wrapping them another election victory.

Is Canada’s system as broken as the US, where a single party rules the country?

To the non-canadians in the thread: this election was truly historic for us. The conservatives were on track to a landslide majority, it seemed like a done deal. Then Trudeau resigned, Trump opened his mouth, and Poilievre, who had built his entire platform in not being Trudeau, completely failed to pivot and stand up to Trump. Trudeau, on the other hand, has always been strong in times of crisis, decidedly told Trump off, stepped down on a high note despite his unpopularity, got replaced by a party outsider who restated that Canada is a strong sovereign nation not interested in Trump, and now the liberals are looking at maybe getting a majority. It’s rare for a party to win an election this many times in a row like the LPC have, and (I think) this is the first time ever that an incumbent prime minister who hadn’t been elected (i.e., had come in to replace a leader who stepped down) managed to win an election. Not to mention the NDP, who were the official opposition in 2015, have hemorrhaged so much support that they’ve now lost official party status.

This chart does a great job at showing what happened here.
NDP and to a lesser extent Bloc votes rallied around the Liberals after Trudeau’s resignation and Trump’s sovereignty threats. The Liberals were basically gifted a voting issue from the heavens to galvanize their base and Carney has ran with it almost perfectly.
The conservatives absolutely blew this election by not coming out stronger against Trump. Provincial conservative parties knew what to do right away, the federal party looked weak. At the same time Canadians should still look at the nuance here. Conservatives gained heavily in both seat count and the popular vote. This is particularly visible in the Toronto Area where they over performed. It’s a victory for the Liberals of course but don’t walk away from this assuming the modern conservative movement isn’t still making gains in Canada.
(However despite the conservative’s gains and an Ontario over performance, Poilievre still managed to lose his seat lmao)

The increased support is due to Trudeau quitting on 6th January. He had a -52 net approval rating.
