Canada just had by-elections to fill 3 vacant seats in the house of commons and the Liberals absolutely teared all 3.

 

This further solidifies the Liberals Majority under Mark Carney

 

In 1 of the ridings the Liberals won by over 50% margin over the runner-up (Conservatives). 

 

It is also reported that some 40% of voters turned up which is quite high for by-elections showing an energized voter base.

@Bronco this is crazy. This has got to be one of the strongest party come backs in history. Before Trudeau resigned the Liberals approval rating was as abysmal as it can get. At one point Trudeau approval rating dropped to something rediculously low like 22%. Even Trump has not gotten that low

Again an absolute false narrative from the OP. These are areas where a by-election took place and Liberals were always going to win because the areas are parts of metropolitan cities where Liberal candidates always have a 60-40 chance. The Green and Conservative candidates rarely win in these areas. And also AI is being used to meddle in the elections.

Yes and no
Greater Toronto and Vancouver were indeed previous Liberal seats, so a win was not a surprise. However, the Québec one in the Saguenay region was a true wild card, considering it's been a Conservative seat since 2018, and they are a fertile region for the Bloc Québécois (a Québec-only federal party). So a Liberal win is already impressive, but with a 50%+ result, and the Conservative at 12%, it's truly a big deal.

The margins they won by were higher than usual, one literally 50%, and one of the ridings was aparently a swing not all 3 were always liberal ridings

 

So again, what falsehood did I tell?

Though the LPC is broadly too statist for me. Carney is undoubtedly one of the most impressive G7 leaders in a while. As said earlier in this thread, this has to be one of the most impressive comebacks for a party in history.

Carney is getting a pseudo-wartime boost thanks to Trump's stunts. 

Trump/Musk etc are really starting to hurt their "allies" outside of America each time they interfere.

Guess we have directly opposing views on a few things so if there is any perception (even a little) that something is untrue or exagerated they will point it out instantly

 

But some ppl need to also learn not every reported thing automatically = implied everything

 

Ex: reporting solid GDP growth and saying its misleading because people are still struggling. The stat is real, part 2 about people struggling therefore its misleading would only be true if i also said or suggested everyone was doing well as a result which i never said

 

Politics causes too much knee jerk reactions imo. Some people are always on the edge of their seats to fill in the blanks to what you didnt say but think your possibly implying. Probably my #1 pet peeve of discussing politics
