2025 Canadian General Election

Between mail-in as well as a very expanded advanced voting compared to what it used to be, it's difficult to envision making it much easier. Security and integrity issues aside, I imagine some would argue for online voting but I suspect many would want to be able to change their vote based on the latest click-bait they scrolled through. Minimal effort every few years isn't a high bar.

Absolute no to online voting - we will never hear the end of technical issues, ballots being hacked, etc. I have some philosophical misgivings around the indiscriminate use of advanced voting for the sake of convenience as well.

In Davenport, the Cons trounced the NDP. Absolutely crazy how much strategic voting going on here. In 2021, it was 42-42-10 for Lib-NDP-Con.

I voted Green. I just couldn't bring myself to vote Liberal after the last few years of incompetence, and I don't like Jagmeet Singh. Luckily I wasn't in a riding where the Cons had any hope, like poor Johnny Au.
 
This is mean (but it made me laugh):

I wonder how long until we're in another election? Despite their absolute shellacking, the NDP hold the balance of power and are in a pretty good position from that respect. That said, they have absolutely nothing to lose from triggering another election if they're just looking at their seat count.
 
Two big surprises in Ontario were Green MP Mike Morrice losing in Kitchener Centre, and long-time NDP MP Brian Masse finishing third in Windsor West.

This was a level of strategic voting we've seen in modern Canadians elections.
 
I think it's about housing prices. There was a huge blue shift across the GTA. In Davenport, the CPC went from 10% in 2021 to 23% in 2025. The NDP collapse allowed the Liberals to stave it off in many cases, but not all.

I am guessing Carney isn't even going to call for a new session of Parliament until the end of the summer, and he will have the throne speech then, which means the first possible time for an opposition no-confidence vote is probably mid-September.
That being said, I doubt he will fall on that one. The likely first time it could happen will be on his first budget, which could be all the way in January 2026.
