Some people I know, even some Liberals from an earlier age, were unimpressed by the triumphal tone of Justin Trudeau’s victory speech on Monday. But if you’re a Liberal who got re-elected, where’s the evidence the party’s done anything wrong? Sure, the caucus is smaller, but it’s more…concentrated. More Liberal-y. Julie Dzerowicz’s vote went up. Marco Mendicino’s vote went up. Marc Miller’s vote went up.
In their first mandate, the Trudeau Liberals developed a knack for paying less and less attention to the parts of the country—geographic, demographic, socio-economic, ideological—where they could not expect a warm welcome. They are hardly the first party to do so. It’s a difficult urge to resist. It’s not obvious to me that the election results will discourage that urge.
Some people remember the 2015 Bloc Québécois campaign ad that showed oil from a pipeline transforming into a Muslim woman’s niqab—you had to see it to believe it; it amounted to a fever-dream rejection of people who do or wear surprising things—and they noticed that every federal leader who was invited showed up for an extra, non-league-sanctioned TV debate organized by TVA, whose commentators can’t get enough of that Bill 21.
Just as the Liberals are likely to feel more like victors than the numbers suggest, the Conservatives will need some time to decide how much of their defeat is a defeat, and how much of it is Andrew Scheer’s fault.
Glad Philpott lost. Despite her excellences that I do admire she had a fault which lead to her demise.
Maybe Alberta should try harder with the rest of Canada that didn't vote for it's greedy agenda.
Stoned. In the photo. Justin. Stoned.
?
Maybe they might finally realize that they need the money that the TMX and others will provide?
Not just Alberta, it is the Western Provinces - quit supporting JustinTrudeau divisive lingo about AB. MB,SK,AB, BC (except lower main land)
Cut with the spurious low grade journalism.
I see Wells is still on his why I hate Justin to bits, so it’s all his fault, kick then.
Rag it is...
I see Macleans stay true to form. Will never waste my time with this rag.
Well, they are slightly different problems(~_~)
That blackfaced freak does not speak for the west. He speaks for Toronto. And they can have him and his totalitarian regime. The west can be free.

Be very glad about how tedious all that was - Macleans.caScott Gilmore: Democracy is not a default position—there are fewer democracies and less press freedom than there was just a year ago. We need to be continually grateful for this headache of elections. Stephen Harper is working at the global level to preserve democracy. I am grateful!!! Democracy crumbles when we are manipulated and lied to from all sides. The greatest danger to a democratic society is a biased media. The overwhelming defense of PMJT and misinformation by the largest newspaper in the country and the largest tv company in the country, both kept afloat by the Liberal Party of Canada using taxpayer's money.
