The Numbers: Post-Mortem on an Unprecedented Election
The Most Polite Trash Talk™️in Canadian media returns for a post-election chat.
It was a remarkable end to an unprecedented few months in Canadian politics.
Mark Carney’s Liberals came up just short of a majority with 169 seats, while the Conservatives won 144 seats but did not see their leader, Pierre Poilievre, win his. The New Democrats put up their worst performance in all of their history and saw leader Jagmeet Singh go down to defeat as well. But with seven seats, the NDP still holds the balance of power — as does Yves-François Blanchet and the Bloc Québécois.
So, there are lots of numbers to go into on this episode of The Numbers. How did the polls perform? How did our projections do? And what results surprised us the most?
