Not overly surprising. As the CBC says, the Conservatives have held this seat for decades at this point. I think the most surprising thing about this election is that the PPC’s vote share held fairly steady between this election and the last. Meaning the Conservative gains came either directly from the Liberals and NDP, or as a relative gain from those two party’s voters staying home. That probably feels good in the moment, however if the national mood shifts between now and the next election in (probably) October 2025, the PPC maintaining the small relevance that it has could end up biting the CPC in the ass.
Also I listened to the guys speech and he sounded coherent at first, then he went on about the liberal elites running the corps that make life more expensive for working people and I fucking lost it. Straight face and all, truly believing this, or an amazing actor. So close to grasping the trurh!

The victory isn’t surprising. The margin is.
