That's making a lot of assumptions which I don't think are accurate. We know strategic voting is a thing. While I don't think we have numbers of how many vote strategically, I think it's safe to say most of them went to the Liberals given their advantage in the pre-election polls.

I'm not saying that the Liberals would have some poorly in RCV, but we can't just assume everyone's vote was also their first choice. And then we'd also have to get into how a different system would change the campaign, etc.

I don't think any of them did riding-specific polls/predictions.

I think most aggregators had PP winning as the most likely outcome, but his defeat was within the MOE.

I think they'll have the next election (the 2026 mid-term) but I'm less sure about the election after that...

It appears you didn't link the article.

Does lemmy have a sub for badlegaladvice? This comment feels like a prime candidate :)

That doesn't say anything about this case. Given it wasn't just ICE involved, it's possible that a judicial warrant was obtained.

Source? I copied that from the article.

I'm just responding the the meme asking Police to come back with a warrant

The agents had a search warrant for the home

Might be too nitpicky but the article says

Liberal Leader Mark Carney was re-elected in his Ottawa riding

which seems like such a huge error.

FTA

It was unclear if he had managed to find the device.

I think that was Carleton because they have 91 candidates on the ballot, so they had to get a special dispensation to start early.
