The results from the most consequential election in Canada's history are in, revealing a political landscape fraught with uncertainty and potential upheaval. Is Pierre Poilievre finished as Leader of the Conservatives after shockingly losing a 20-point lead, particularly after Bruce Fanjoy's stunning victory in Carleton? With tensions rising and his team embroiled in public disputes with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, can he weather the storm, or will he succumb to the pressures from within his party?

Moreover, what does this mean for the future of the Liberal Party? Does Carney have the strategic prowess to secure the three seats needed for a majority by forging sound alliances with the NDP or Elizabeth May? Or is he in such a commanding position that he doesn’t even need their support, as the Bloc, NDP, and Green MPS staunchly oppose the Conservatives?

Let’s not overlook the ramifications of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's escalating threats to separate from Canada unless Prime Minister Carney meets her demands. Will the implications of this be monumental, shaking the very foundations of our federation? Or is it just a bitter response to Carney's victory?

As we look ahead to upcoming elections in cities like Hamilton, we must ask: What will happen now that high-profile candidates are without a political platform? Will they seek open council seats or run in the mayoral races?
