Did everyone notice how this election wiped out all the previous leaders and now we're faced with being introduced to a new crowd of political leaders.

Elizabeth May with the Green Party is the only one still standing.

These are strange times indeed.

This election was so weird in so many ways, I think it will be some time before we fully understand what it all means.

I'm just terrified about the younger generation skewing conservative. I get why, but it doesn't make me worry any less. Carney better make housing affordable that all I know.

The definition of conservative needs to change. We're allowed to be fiscally conservative without being hateful bigots. The problem is, the existing parties keep aligning themselves with the wack-jobs, and the alternatives are... the Liberals.

+1. I am on the left, but I can meet in the middle with a fiscal conservative. Wouldn't like having one in power, but I can live with it.

Social conservatives though? As a trans person, and looking at what's going on south of the border and in the UK, I consider social conservatives to be an existential threat.

I wish we had a legitimately multi-party system that didn't encourage all the conservatives to be under the same umbrella; I would feel a lot safer.
