Canada's 2025 Federal election results

As I said in my cherry blossom post and in my Cherry Blossoms falling in the wind post, spring is here. Summer is on it's way. 

Let the hate pass you by. Martin Luther King once said I've seen too much hate to want to hate and every time I see it I say to my self hate is too great a burden to bear. Indeed it is. 

I've seen a lot of hate in this election from both sides. I've seen a lot of extremism in this election from both sides and all I can say is let that hate pass you by. I remember driving with my father once when I was young. An angry motorist was tailgating him and he calmly pulled over and let him pass. 

He said to me that's the kind of guy you want in front of you not behind you because that guy is going to cause and accident and you don't want to be in it. Very true. And so I use that same analogy with reference to angry voters. Let that hate pass you by. We need to think logically not emotionally. 

The BBC is reporting that "Carney's Liberals are leading in 168 seats but are currently short of the 172 needed for a majority. The Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, are set to remain in opposition as the second-largest party and are leading in 144 seats, with 99% of polls having reported results."

First of all, I am not happy about the results but I do believe they are true. So let's talk about it. Let's compare those results with last election's results and see the change in seats. 

The information came from Elections Canada. The Conservatives gained 23 seats and the Liberals gained 11 seats. That means the NDP lost 17 seats, the Bloc lost 9 seats and the Green lost 2 seats. 

Ontario and Quebec have the most population and the most seats. Both were split between Liberal and Conservative. Both elected more liberal seats than conservative. 

The Maritimes were split except for Nova Scotia which elected more Liberal seats. Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba all elected a Conservative majority. While BC was split between the Conservatives and Liberals with the Liberals getting more over all seats in BC. So now let's talk about the hate. 

I saw a lot of crazy things this election. Videos of hateful Carney supporters fingering independent media, doing a ridiculous bird dance with their elbows up. It looked like a cult. Yet so did the right. A coworkers sent me a video of hecklers on a bullhorn at a Carney rally saying horrible things about his wife and daughter. Crashing a rally is hateful. 

I agree Carney sending his child to a drag queen transgender grooming camp is very concerning. Yet mocking his child is pretty offensive. There are a lot of people with mental health issues out there. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. 

Grooming kids in school is a huge concern. I attribute this loss to Donald Trump. Before Donald Trump's second term Conservatives in Canada were on the rise. Donald Trump single handedly stopped that wave. Tariffs, trade war, Gaza. Donald Trump went too far right. 

As I said, the pendulum swings left and right. If you swing too far in either direction it loses momentum and starts swinging back the other way to correct itself. 

So what are some of the good things that came out of this election? It's over. They can no longer say Carney is an unelected Prime minister. We're not going to start hunting down immigrants. That's important to a lot of voters. 

The good thing is that Justin Trudeau is gone. The bad thing is that Mark Carney is no different. That fact was no secret. Carney posed hugging his BFF Chrystia Freeland. That woman is a complete mental case. That extreme agenda creates a push back and a whole lot of animosity. 

Preston Manning claimed a Liberal victory would endorse Western separation. I disagree. BC doesn't want to separate. BC believes in Canada. They support the Union. 

However, I do think Justin Trudeau's WEF quest to ban all gasoline vehicles will indeed be the tipping point that will cause Alberta to leave the federation and separate from Canada. Alberta should have a veto on that sinister policy. That would save Canada just like getting rid of the carbon tax. 

The ban on oil pipelines is a huge concern. Natural gas pipelines are good. Banning natural gas has nothing to do with saving the environment. We still need to face that. In this election I saw two extremes. The Liberals wanted too much immigration while the Conservatives wanted too little. 

The Liberals wanted too few pipelines while the Conservatives wanted too many. Pierre wanted to build a pipeline to the east coast and export millions of barrels of oil a day. That would have been excessive. We need to take care of domestic production first. In BC sending unrefined oil to the US and buying back refined oil from them is insane. BC needs another refinery. 

How do we heal the hate? We don't do that with Doug Ford and Chrystia Freleand. They both promote hate by pushing offensive things. I don't think we can heal the hate for immigrants. We can just out vote them and let their hate pass us by.
