@@janspasov there’s a mistake in the video. The changes were based on how many seats the parties had when the election was called. In 2019, the Conservative actually won 121 seats, the Liberals won 157, and the Greens had 3. Conservatives lost two seats during the Parliament because they removed one member from their caucus who continued to sit as an independent and they had another member retire and step down before the election. Liberals had three MPs become independents since 2019. And one Green MP became a Liberal shortly before the election. Hope that clarifies things.

The graphic on seat changes is misleading. Those are seat changes from just prior to the election, and include 5 open seats. In reality, the change from 2019 is Lib +1, Con -2, BQ +2, NDP +1, Green -1, and Independents -1.

The one vacant seat was former Conservative MP Diane Finley and, of course, the single floor crosser of the last Parliament was former Green Jenica Atwin who became a Liberal, bringing them to 155 seats.

With this election, the next election is in 4 years (2025) allowing time for Trudeau to smooth over any issues on that front.

They do and he did not sell it well. But as I said in my comment, the legislative calendar kind of forces minority governments into an election at about the 1.5 - 2 year mark. Two reasons 1) The opposition can bring down the government at any time (this is usually about 1.5 years in); and 2) All legislation in progress dies when a government falls or an election is called--so at about the 1.5 year mark, a minority government cannot really start any big new legislative projects because they will likely die. Trudeau need to restart the clock to start a couple big pieces through the process.

It’s interesting that you focused on the outcome as reflecting a failure on the part of Trudeau. I’m working on a video that focuses it more as a failure of O’Toole. But that said, since the outcome was so status quo, I guess it’s a failure on the part of everyone. One of my takeaways that a lot of Canadians are not very open minded about switching their vote no matter who the leaders are or what happens in the campaign.

Yes, that’s technically what the English translation of it is - but nobody in Canada would ever call it the Quebecker Bloc lol Also, it’s worth acknowledging that the Tories were hurt in the last week by the Premier of the United Conservative government of Alberta’s decision to implement a vaccine passport system right before the election. It went over so poorly that it’s leading to outright mutiny, with potentially dozens of Jason Kenney’s MLAs prepared to vote for non-confidence in him as a leader after they and other UCP members apparently received brutal responses at the doors when they were campaigning for the CPC. Alberta, the Conservative stronghold, dropped nearly 15 points in Conservative support, with most of that going to the NDP and (to a lesser extent) the Liberals. It’s the first time Alberta has ever had two NDP MPs at once (Heather McPherson and Blake Desjarlais in Edmonton), Alberta’s got its first Métis and first Two-Spirit MP (also Desjarlais), and the first time a Liberal has been elected on a provincial or federal level under an incumbent PM Trudeau, with George Chahal in Calgary. The Greens also elected their first-ever Ontario MP, the PPC failed to win any seats, and Janica Atwin held her Fredericton seat after crossing the floor from the Greens to the Liberals earlier in the year. Not much changed in raw numbers of seats, but there were still some interesting developments out of this election.

Words or phrases that only appear in French we wouldn't Anglicise. Therefore in both French and English we use the French term only: "Bloc Quebecois." I noted this in your lead up the Canadian election vid... It would not have been good to wait much longer for an election because of the legislative calendar. In a minority the PM only has some of the power to decide the election and in fact, opposition could trigger an election at any time. As legislation dies when a government falls, big legislative projects like universal basic income and universal daycare can't be initiated 2 years into a minority because most minorities last less than 2 years. Basically at about 1.5 years a Canadian minority federal government is a lame duck.

They got about 850k votes, smashing the greens and closing in on the bloc in popular vote but like ukip had basically no seats to show for it. Although liberals would of still won, the election outcome would be looked at very differently.Also some extremely tight races of conservatives losing ridings in Eastern Quebec, Ontario, and BC

"Meant to last" isn't exactly accurate. The maximum term length is 4 years, but it can be dissolved before hand by either a vote of no confidence or the rule party asking for it. It's more common than not that minority governments last to the maximum term.

It would be awesome if you did a video on the Bloc Québécois! As a western Canadian they don’t really mean anything to me….it would be a good video to explain their party’s platform and frankly what their plan is to leave the federation or if that’s even possible - especially since they only run in Quebec! Thanks for the update TLDR team :)

The Bloc is on the same page as the Wildrose party. They have the same end game.

Funny thing about the Bloc Québécois is that they have worked hard to downplay separation in recent years. That's due to the fact that when they campaign on separation, they do really really bad. 2011 Duceppe stated if the Bloc had a strong showing federally and the provincial sister party the Parti Québécois did well provincially they could have a 3rd referendum. They lost 43 seats and lost official party status. They didn't recover until 2019 2014 the Parti Québécois talked about a possible 3rd referendum. They had been on track for a majority but then lost outright to the unpopular Liberals. Since then they have been replaced by the CAQ. The CAQ aimed to be an alternative to the liberals that wasn't separatist and currently form government. The Bloc Québécois are still at their core a separatist party but run on being a "strong voice for Québéc" it just does better with the electorate. I think it's safe to say, at least for now, Québéc wants to be part of Canada.

The best result they got was becoming official opposition back in 1993 but that was only possible because of a right-wing split between the progressive conservative and reform parties.

@@GenerationZ313 54 seats in 1993 under Lucian Bouchard, then 54 again under Gilles Duceppe. Despite the fact that I do not support Quebec Independence, I actually always liked Duceppe.

Well, I wished the damn sinophile would have completely lost rather than managed to hold on to the status quo.

It was probably worth mentioning the popular vote and how far Canada’s FPTP electoral system skews the outcome.

This was a colossal waste of time money and energy...

O'Toole now gets to see if he stays as Conservative party leader after running for leadership as a true blue Conservative and bashing any one for suggesting moving the party to the 'mushy center' then immediately dragged the Conservative party to the mushy center in the election which he lost.

Just like in the rest of the western world, too many Canadians think their nice comfortable lifestyle is a natural right and they can afford to put lightweights like Trudeau in charge. In truth it is extremely fragile and with the pressures currently building worldwide I can't help thinking there's a very nasty shock coming soon.

Your seat changes are from the dissolution of Parliament, not the last election. It was even more incremental compared to those results.

People should always embrace the opportunity to take part in a general election.

It really should have waited.

The PPC also underperformed so...yup, no change at all

The PPC got more votes than the greens but because of fptp we did not get any seats

This was a total waste of time and $600000000. He wanted a majority so he can change laws that go against what he wants to do. The ndp and the bloc support him when he wants what they want. But he wants more power without their help. He tried this at the beginning of the pandemic. When it started he wanted to close down parliament and go home. When he relented and returned to parliament, wanted unfettered control until the end of 2021. At this time he was in the process of giving "we charity" , a charity who was in bad financial trouble, $912000000 so they could dole it out. This is the same charity that used him and his wife, brother and mother for speaking engagements and paid his family members over $500000. There is something rotten in the city of Ottawa and the smell is coming from readeau cottage. How people keep electing him with all his corruption and bad policy is beyond me. He is bad for Canada

Hi, I am a Quebecker who voted, I would tell you that at the level of the BQ, Quebeckers do not vote for the independence in these times, but much more for a party which defends the interests of Quebec. Also, one of the reasons why the world was unhappy with the launch of the elections by Mr. Trudeau is that the minority government was functional (it was mostly able to have one of the 3 * opposition parties on its side PCC / NDP / BQ for pass the bills)

I think elections are an expensive waste of time.

No, they've made clear that they don't care about francophones outside Quebec in the slightest, nor about Anglophones in Quebec. Their only concern, in their own words, is francophone Quebec, and working to increase the chances of Quebec successfully separating. They have made clear in the past that they see their presence in Parliament as, amongst other things, an opportunity to gum up the works, thus irritating the rest of the country, in the hopes of causing an anti-Quebec that will in turn alienate francophone Québécois into supporting separation.

The Québécois really like the party. Sorry if I went into to much detail.

Take a close look at where the elected seat is located. Each party elected basically is representing a region of the country. This is due to the fact that under the Canadian Constitution the Senate is supposed to be representing regional interests; however, due to political appointments....the Senate has become a rubber stamp of the government of the day. You have a Senator from Edmonton voting to stop pipelines.....which makes no sense for their region. Due to the complete failure of the Canadian Senate to do their job; Canadians have devolved to voting for parties in the House of Commons that represent their region. The Conservatives for West Canada. The Liberals for TORONTO. The BQ for Quebec. Canadian Senators must be elected to their position, not appointed by the Prime Minister in order for the Canadian parliamentary system to start functioning as it was designed to operate by Queen Victoria.

It confused the hell out of me when you said Quebecer Bloc. In Canada, they are always called the Bloc Quebecois, even by English speakers or English language publications.

The comment section is certainly not disappointing that’s for sure

“Doing a Theresa”😭

If you do video on the BQ, be aware that the issue of sovereignty is now a non-starter. The Quebec people really don't want to waste their time on this debate anymore.

Where did all the + seats come from?

Canada needs proportional representation, we all do. While I don't support the people's party, they got more votes than the greens, but they didn't get any seats and the greens did, if I'm recalling correctly. Similarly, the Liberals went down in their popular vote margin, but gained seats. Canada needs proportional representation.
