Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet emerges as the only winner in a field of losers this election

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet and his wife Nancy Deziel, seen here in Gatineau, Quebec on October 7, 2019, lifted his party from the dead with a promise to speak for Quebec.Jagmeet Singh bopped into the NDP’s election-night party like he had just surfed an orange wave. Andrew Scheer said the Conservatives took a big step forward. Elizabeth May counted her Green Party as one of two winners. Justin Trudeau beamed while he spoke of a clear mandate.

He can smile at silver linings. His minority is large enough that he needs the support of only one other party to win a vote in the Commons, and those parties are so weakened they won’t be itching for a snap election. The Bloc is short of money. Mr. Trudeau doesn’t have to worry too much about survival for six months, and his minority could last two years.

The Green Party’s Ms. May touted a gain in seats, to three from two. But the Greens once threatened to displace the NDP as the third party – and instead finished far behind. Ms. May’s popularity fell. And opportunity was scorned.There has never been an election in which so many wanted to cast a protest vote about a climate-change emergency, yet the Green platform distracted from that focus by declaring an urgent need for everything now, with free tuition, guaranteed income, pharmacare and more.
