Green votes will be coveted for validation by climate superhero Trudeau. :  )
Because of Greens, every party had to have a climate plan, to satisfy their own voters.
It isn't just about numbers.
People are listening to the Greens, and pushing their parties to address climate change more effectively.
Democracy at it's best.

the Green Party is irrelevant in any confidence voting scenario. Those initial lofty (media fueled) days with the GP seat projections @ 10-to-12 seats crashed to reality with an eventual single seat increase - to 3. Why waldo, why? Well... partly, the GP platform proper and the targeted "Mission Improbable" plan were exposed for their inadequacies, failings and missing practical feasibility. Also, partly, Elizabeth May became a profiled negative 'nutter' influence on the GP. May has contributed but is now long past her 'best before date' - leadership review please!

338 polling election result analysis: the East-West 'divide' is nothing new... but the most significant 2019 result is one that highlights another division - an urban versus rural divide!

in terms of voting efficiency:

=> the Scheer/CPC 2015-to-2019 vote share increase was, "not at all uniform and, more importantly, did not occur where it was needed".

=> Scheer/CPC increased their vote share in 194 of 338 electoral districts (57%)... but lost ground compared to 2015 in the remaining 144 districts (43%). More pointedly, "out of those 144 districts where the Conservatives lost ground, no fewer than 139 are in Quebec and Ontario. The remaining five are located in B.C.’s Lower Mainland."

=> Quebec and Ontario hold 199 federal electoral districts - compared to 2015, Scheer/CPC lost ground in 70% of districts in the two most populous provinces in the country... 139 of the 199 districts (70%).

=> among the 60 electoral districts with the highest population density in Canada, Scheer/CPC won a grand total of zero of them (Liberals 50, NDP 8, BQ 1, IND 1); as below:



now this urban/rural divide was a known entity within the Scheer/CPC internal party polling - a clear indication of a likely defeat... and yet, it didn't stop weak Andy & lil' Hamish, till the very end, chest pumping, projecting a win... a majority win no less, and all but pronouncing himself Prime Minister in waiting for the final results!

Agreed waldo.  GTA, Ottawa, Montreal, went strongly Liberal.  Add much of the maritimes and that's all she wrote.

He will be trick or treating as a Conservative - very scary indeed.

He could just go as himself.
