By now probably most people who were talking about it have heard that
our Liberal Party under Mark Carney won the election, but didn't get
a majority gov't, which means he needs other elected people to back
him up to get things passed that he wants to get through, new laws
and big decisions and such.

He only missed the majority by 3 'seats' which I think is called
a Voting College or Electoral District in the USA.
Depending on the estimates he got somewhere between 8.3 and 9 million
votes, but they mentioned on the news today that if he had gotten
just 608 more votes in exactly the right districts, he could have
won 3 more seats and gotten that majority.

I tend to prefer the Minority situation since it tends to limit
the power, and therefore the damage, that the party can do to
the country.

Trump congatulated Mark Carney today saying he had hoped that
he might win since he figured that "Mr. Carney doesn't hate me
quite as much as Pierre Poilierve does".. B)

Apparently Poilierve didn't even win his own seat where he lives
so he's got to find a way to get rid of someone else in his party
who won their district so that he can replace them there..

Trump and Carney are supposed to get together at the White House
fairly soon. Trump talks like he thinks a lot of Carney, but
we'll see how that works out when they meet. One thing maybe
going for Carney is that he is well respected by national leaders
all around the world after working with them while he was the
Governor of the Bank of Canada for 5.5 years and then Governor
of the Bank of England for 7 years.. Trump tends to like people
he feels are important so maybe that history will help..

Funny considering that Trump had just a few short days earlier endorsed Poilierve and the Conservatives. Many FIDO MAGAs were pulling for him,
too, and are still licking their wounds.
