Check your WhatsApp.What time does the invasion start?So, 430pm California time.Results there should start coming in after 12.30 am .These two ridings in New Brunswick could give an early indication of the direction of travel . They’re very competitive seats between the LPC and CPC.When you say "relatively early", how early are we talking about?
Miramichi-Grand Lake, and Fredericton-Oromocto,
And we should get these results relatively early .
Here’s a list of polling times across Canada .

Re: Trump makes a late intervention to ensure a Liberal landslide – politicalbetting.com
Anyway, let me make this point. We're at the four year anniversary of "Hartlepool". Remember that? Boris Johnson riding high as a kite (literally: an inflatable of him floated in the sky above the scene of this famous by-election victory for the Cons) and Keir Starmer, battered to the canvas, thinking seriously about throwing in the towel.
And now look. Johnson is chip paper. Starmer is PM with a landslide majority. A majority more than twice Johnson got in 2019.
The moral? None really. I just wanted to type that out. Enjoyed it.

The original headline was going to be ‘Confused Florida pensioner is posting nonsense on social media.’

Despite Trump's protestations he is not on the ballot in Canada and Poilevre opposes his tariffs and threats to make Canada the 51st US state as much as Carney does.I think many Canadians will be voting MAGA today.
The only party leader who is full MAGA is Barnier of the PPC but his party is down from 4% last time to 1% now.
Trump even called Poilievre 'not a MAGA guy'

What is Trump's plan with the "We must own Canada/Greenland" guff? He can't really think that Canada/Denmark will agree, so is it just red meat to keep his gang happy, a call to make MAGA think he's a strong man?He's an elderly narcissist, with a limited grasp on reality, who has been handed almost unlimited power.
"Plan" dignifies what's really just an expression of id.

Any thoughts about the Runcorn result?I think it will have a very different top 2 parties to the Canadian election.

I think Mark Carney's campaign will have to declare this post as a gift.

Bizarrely offensive response. I agree with Feeresum, and even if I didn't I'd find your response unacceptable.That's because you're an idiot.
Having spent 10 years living in Germany and happily enjoying the amazing variety of breads and cakes sold at the numerous bakeries and patisseries, I find that very hard to believe.

That was lazy journalism. It’s a non sequitur. The wealthy may or may not be leaving the UK, but that has no bearing whatsoever on this year’s CGT revenue.https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/capital-gains-tax-receipts-h78d8tkrhYep. Don't expect @leon to get anything right. Just superficial reading of X. No analysis. No IQ.Income from CGT this January is for disposals made between April 2023 and April 2024.It didn't START in America - economic optimism has been crashing since Labour started talking down the economy and then kicked the private sector in the balls with their disastrous budget and employment regulations and various other socialist stupidities. And the lower energy prices that Trump's incompetence has caused may actually help us more than the reduction in trade hurts. It's not clear how that will play out yet.Income from Capital Gains Tax is DOWN even as the Tax has gone up. The Laffer Curve is real and Labour have comprehensively fucked the economy
Unlike Labour's incompetence, which is plain for everybody to see.
Trump probably hasn't helped much, but this is almost entirely home-grown.
There will be an increase in CGT in Jan 2026 because individuals were liquidating gains ahead of an expected rate rise.
Then there will be a drop in CGT take in Jan 2027 as those timing differences unwind.
“Capital gains tax receipts fall 10% as wealthy exit UK”
I have to deal with this sort of journalistic agenda driven writing quite often, it’s quite common in tax articles, though it’s usually when the Telegraph are doing a piece.
