The Conservative leader has lost his seat. He will either run in a different riding in a by-election (requires someone to resign and it could take up to 8 months) or the party will remove him. Lots of drama still to come I feel.

They gotta remove him. This was a tap-in goal of an election and he fumbled it.

He's trying to frame it in a way that this was a success. In the end, he received a higher percentage of votes in the party's history (post merger) and the second highest seat count. He also brought in loyalist into parliament.

 

Of course, it's quite likely the Conservatives will win next time so thirst for power might prevail.

Oh I get why Poilievre wants to stay on. I just think if you're in that caucus you have all the incentives in the world to defenestrate him.

 they never should of allowed a united Pakistan to exist but of course no one gave a damn in those days.

India is not interested in breaking Pakistan but the way TTP and Balochs are going, wouldn't be surprised if this Frankenstein's monster ceases to exist in near future. Just hope that Saudi/USA has taken control of the nukes they sponsored.

    • OFC qualifiers   American Samoa   reach the final stage of qualifiers for the first time.  Oceania’s lowest ranked nation, after won the first round in November, with two won in two matches of second round, now through to the third round.   New Zealand also through to April's third round after two won (both for  8-0)        
    • US consulte in Dubai    
    • I will try for Croatia:    Archery (1) : we never had a representative, but were two times very close. I think we have a chance in Recurve for a single male quota, and in mixed compound,  Realistic one quota    Athletics (8) : difficult as many things will change in the next 2-3 seasons, but let's. say 8, I think that could be a realistic number   Badminton (1) : hopefully our Indonesian import will manage to qualify     Basketball (0): small chances in both male and 3x3 male teams , but somehow I doubt it    Boxing (2): two male quotas    Canoe slalom (1). maybe with a small chance for two places, but one is realistic    Canoe sprint (1): similar to slalom, maybe two, but one is realistic, but lets see how the new qualification system plays out    Cycling (2): would bee very happy with a quota in BMX freestyle and male road race    Diving (1): hoping that Matej Nevescanin will qualify    Fencing (0): very small chance in mens foil, but I guess will not happen.    football (0): there is always talks about our male team, but never succeeded, I am afraid will be the same for LA 2028    Artistic gymnastics (4): Kovtun plus two additional male quotes plus one female   Handball (14): the mens team should qualify    Judo (5): four female quota plus one male    Rowing (5). difficult to say as boats/crews are not defined yet. But I expect 4 mens places plus 1 female. Maybe more, but let see    Sailing (6): somehow not a good development in this sports, could be even less than 6 quotas.    Shooting (5): hopefully two trap and two male rifle quotas plus one surprise    Swimming (6): will be brave here and say 5 male plus one female. I think we have a realistic chance to qualify a freestyle relay.    Table tennis (5): hope for 3 male and two female quotas incl. mixed doubles (Arapovic/Ban)   Tennis (6): still too early, and always the question who is really interested in playing.   Taekwondo (3): I am seeing two females plus one male qualifying   Waterpolo (11): mens team should be safe, small chance for our women's team.   Wrestling (1) considering the Russian expansion, one quota would be great     in all other sports hopeless case for Croatia. But 88 would be a great delegation, probably too optimistic
