    1. Trudeau bought a pipeline that Harper started with the Chinese .. and we’re stuck for a generation.
      Always more to the story

  1. Not only the west. What about the east coast. These leaders seem to only care for Ontario and Quebec. The divide is strong in this country.

    1. @Sixty 9er Newfoundland and the Maritimes had already elected 28 Liberal MPs when our coverage started. So, what about the east coast? It’s a Liberal stronghold with what – one NDP and one Green?

    1. @Michael Jandavs But….. Canada is fcked for another 4 years is what you are trying to say? 😐

    2. ASHAMED TO BE CANADIAN! Yah because the conservatives should have been obliterated off the map. But…but can’t fix stupid

  2. Canada really needs to be broken up into different nations.

    I have zero unifying similarities with the leftist regressive voters out east.

  3. Left or left-learning parties will always be better for Canada than conservative parties. After saying that, the Conservatives need to grow their base instead of focusing on keeping their base happy. Plus as the younger generation ages, the majority (not all) will focus more on environment and diversity so Conservatives need to step up soon and fast.

  4. Mr. Andrew Scheer should not be leader of a political party since he has dual citizenships. As a leader you cannot owe true allegiances to both United States and Canada.

  5. We should all congratulate CPC for keeping corrupt LIBERALS in power while successfully destroying Max Bernier, the PERSONAL rival of Scheer and fellow CONSERVATIVE.

  6. I feel bad for Albertans. No one talks about the current market price for oil though. The federal government has no control over that. Isn’t that a component of the province’s strife?

  7. Certainly we saw no interest from Singh and May, a few token visits from Sheer, one scripted “invitation-only” Trudeau event. Not just Alberta, but all across the west. Every Albertan I spoke to while volunteering said, first and foremost, that this election was a referendum on Alberta Separation. That was the first thing mentioned, without questions or prompting. Trudeau’s speech last night opened with 3 or 4 sentences saying he has Alberta marked down for destruction. That won’t go over real well.
