The Liberals are projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives, though it wasn’t clear yet if they would win an outright majority, which would allow them to pass legislation without needing help.

I cannot wait to see how the Trump admin will spin this. Either that or they have a meltdown and immediately call it a rigged election. Bonus points if he tells Canadians to storm their capital.
- They are 100% going to say our election was rigged, and our idiots are going to believe them.
  
  Club your idiots with baseball bats. Or cricket bats. Or whatever bats you use up there.

  "this country is a disgrace"
  " sad day for canada"

  "west time to become 51st state"

  "time to secede"
  "trump will save alberta"
  " insert conspiracy here already picked their candidate, our votes dont count"
  "time to leave"

  accusaions of European meddling
  accusations of Globalist meddling
- There should be a bingo sheet.
  
  Please, I am begging you, do not make this sheet. Right wing media will pick up on it, the golden one will catch wind of it, and it will become an achievement checklist. Please do not.
- I'll be a little surprised if he addresses it more than a passing comment - the US conservative population doesn't actually give a shit about canada (unless they're told to be mad about it for some specific scapegoaty reason, but they'll just forget. Like they've all forgotten about the lumber issues, or eggs, or how 'canada is killing the US garment industry' that one was cute...). At this point he's got enough other things to distract them with, so why waste his very limited attention span on something he's declared a solved issue?
