Two things stick out:
1. The gains in seats are one thing, but the gains in vote are wild. Larger share of the popular vote than Harper’s majority in 2011 is giant.
2. The NDP lost 17 seats. The majority of those were lost to the Conservatives, including some strongholds.
@flattery_sucks i've been praying for a PC-Reform type split so all the hobos can just go fight amongst themselves over their beans and leave the rest of us alone to start the revolution
Hamdan Ballal stood on the same stage as Conan O'Brien, Adrien Brody. Sean Baker & all the rest — now he's been beaten by settlers and arrested by the IDF. How much of a outcry will we hear from Hollywood.
think it's pretty gross for New York to publish this bit of unabashed hagiography when the last time Cynthia Ozick was interviewed for the magazine, in 2016, she had this to say:

We have an opportunity in Hamilton Centre to vote with our imagination and hearts, and to reject the cynicism of politics in general. Vote to build a politic that we can believe in, one where you know that your representative will actually speak truth to power & fight for you. 1/
ELECTION DAY!
Today is the FIRST time mom will get to vote for me and this time it’s for my RE-ELECTION to a 3rd term
Mom, everything I do and who I am is wrapped up in and reinforced by the best and strongest parts of who you are
I cannot say thank you enough❤️
#tostpauls
The proof is in the pudding. Re-electing me as your MPP means sending a fighter to Queen’s Park. I am determined to put Hamilton Centre before party politics, and to serve with working people in mind.
Make sure to vote tomorrow (Feb 27)!
PC Leader @fordnation refuses to double ODSP/OW. Yet, he also cut employment programs for people with disabilities. Last year, he also defunded a 'peer worker' training program I co-facilitated for homeless people on OW.
Ford has abandoned disabled and homeless Ontarians.
I know people have said this but want to underline — disasters like the LA fires just show me over and over that people want to help each other so badly. it’s our natural inclination and we live in a place that stamps it out on a government level, but it doesn’t change the desire
with facebook stopping fact checking & explicitly allowing people to say trans and gay people have mental illness in its policy terms, it's time to let them die. it's been bad and useless for quite a while and just known for AI slop and boomers. delete yrs if you haven't already.
Now’s a good time to remember California JUST voted to keep unpaid/criminally underpaid prison labor (slavery) and that a lot of the people affected by that vote are the ones fighting to save our city right now. https://t.co/P7fAgwuEag
