If the Liberals need the NDP to form a minority government, NDP demands should include:
- at least 1 cabinet post. Give them a seat in the inner circle.
- make #ElectoralReform a legislative priority (idea from @ZebKing).
- insist on support for 2 or 3 NDP platform ideas and guarantee that the NDP gets credit for those ideas.

This is also an opportunity for Carney to demonstrate he governs for all Canadians.

#PeePee losing his seat means some interesting decisions by the #CPC. He has vowed to stay on as leader, so that means finding a riding for him to win so he can sit in Parliament and toss slogans at the opposition party. That means a nice safe riding since he can't be embarrassed by losing again. Which popular #CPC candidate is going to take one for the team and give up their seat.

Ironically, it was #Trump's attempted hegemony and 51st state nonsense that increased the fortunes of #Carney's Liberals. Prior to the election starting, it was trailing in the polls.

So, this is not just a triumph for Western democracy but another failure of #Trump's autocracy, and this election should be understood in that way.

If only he would have kept his big fat ignorant mouth shut, his preferred candidate may have won
