How do you like them electoral apples?
That’s right folks: Canada elected a Liberal minority government, and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lost the seat he’s held for more than two decades.
There’s a lot to talk about. Let’s dive in!

It was a real pleasure to go back on @democracynow.org to talk about the Canadian election, the rightward shift of Canada’s tech industry, and Elon Musk’s first 100 days at DOGE.
Canada’s Liberal party was trailing the Conservatives in support until Trump's reelection, his trade war and threats to annex Canada.
People saw the “threats that [Donald Trump] was making against Canada, that this was not a time to allow the Conservative Party” into power, says @parismarx.com.

Build Canada is not a Canadian DOGE, it’s just supported by a load of tech executives who are on the record as saying Canada needs a DOGE.
