Whew! Carney and the Liberals did it.

Whenever I get the Wordle answer on my sixth try, the computer says "Whew!" 
That's what I feel tonight. 
It was much closer than I wanted it to be, and Carney had to survive an onslaught of smears and fears, and it's going to be challenging for Carney and the Liberals to manage parliament on one hand and Trump on the other for the next two or three years. 
But they did it!

What newcomer Mark Carney did in this election is unparalleled. It's like a rookie joining a last place team and then leading them to the Stanley Cup in his first season. #cdnpoli #canpoli #CanadaStrong

Canada Strong: A New Chapter
...Mark Carney’s campaign was built on a simple but profound promise: Canada Strong.
Not strong because of bluster.
Not strong because of anger.
But strong because of fairness, integrity, and the belief that the success of one should lift the success of all.
Across every province, in small towns and big cities alike, Canadians said:
We are stronger when we care for one another.
We are stronger when we protect our environment and build a future worthy of our children.
We are stronger when leadership means service, not spectacle.
... Canadians proved something to themselves and to the world:
Our democracy is not for sale.
Our country is not for rage.
Our future is not for fear.
It is for all of us. Together.
It is for Canada strong, free, and forever forward....
An excellent summary here:

And in other happy news, it also looks like Poilievre will lose his seat!


 

Poilievre vows to stay on as party leader for reasons of being otherwise unemployable #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

Trump now knows he has to deal with Carney - he must be terrified now:

Carnie did well mainly due to the Conservatives incompetence.
For Poilievre to lose his own seat shows arrogance , misjudgement and stupidity.
Not the attributes I want in a PM.

Actually, I thought Carney ran a good campaign - he was effective, though he isn't a charismatic person. He dialed it back a bit too much in the last 10 days, after the Advance Polls, and that allowed Poilievre to claim the "change" slogan. But luckily there wasn't enough time left for Poilievre to really change his spots.
