THE GREAT CANADIAN VOTE COUNT: CLOSE CALLS, RECOUNTS, AND ONE VERY LOST BALLOT

In partnership with

THE 2025 ELECTION: CLOSE, CRAZY, AND CANADIAN

Folks, if you thought Canadian politics was boring, think again. The 2025 federal election has delivered more drama than a Tim Hortons drive-thru at 8:59 a.m. on Roll Up the Rim day. Let’s break down what’s actually happening—facts, logic, and a dash of maple-flavored sarcasm. But a word from our sponsor:

Top investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the team that co-founded Zillow and grew it into a $16B real estate leader starts a new company, investors notice. That’s why top firms like SoftBank invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties – revamping a $1.3T market.

By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110m+ in gross profits.

Now, after 41% gross profit growth last year, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity is now, at the unlisted stage.

Until May 29, you can join Pacaso as an investor for just $2.80/share.

Invest before the window closes.

Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.}

1. “ELECTIONS CANADA IS RIGGING IT!” (Spoiler: No, They’re Not)

Let’s get this out of the way: there is zero credible evidence that Elections Canada is flipping seats, shredding ballots, or stuffing ballot boxes with Timbit coupons for the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, or even the Bloc. Every ballot is hand-counted, with party scrutineers watching closer than a Toronto real estate agent at an open house.

So why is it so close? Because:

• The Liberals and Conservatives are in a neck-and-neck race, hoovering up 90% of the seats.

• The NDP and Bloc have collapsed harder than a Leafs playoff run.

• Ridings everywhere are flipping like pancakes at a Calgary Stampede breakfast.

• Special ballots and mail-ins are pouring in, making every vote count—sometimes literally by a single vote.

Result: Mark Carney’s Liberals are limping into a minority government, with Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives nipping at their heels. The NDP is on life support, and the Bloc is, well, see below.

2. THE RIDINGS THAT MATTER: WHERE EVERY VOTE IS A CLIFFHANGER

Let’s talk about the battlegrounds that are making the difference:

Windsor—Tecumseh—Lake Shore (Ontario)

• Won by Conservative Kathy Borrelli. Margin: FOUR votes. That’s fewer people than in a typical Canadian Tire checkout line.

• Judicial recount confirmed it. Sorry, Liberals.

Terra Nova—The Peninsulas (Newfoundland)

• Conservative Jonathan Rowe snags it by 12 votes after a recount. Liberals lose another one. Newfoundland’s still reeling.

Nunavut

• No drama here (for once). Just the usual logistical nightmare of counting ballots across the tundra.

Terrebonne (Quebec)

• The Bloc loses to the Liberals by ONE vote after a recount. But wait, there’s more...

3. TERREBONNE: WHERE A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD TRIGGER A BYELECTION

Picture this: A Bloc supporter mails in her ballot, but thanks to a misprinted Elections Canada label, it gets returned. The Bloc loses by one vote. If that ballot had counted? Tie game.

The Bloc is now suing, demanding a byelection. Their argument: “Every vote counts, unless Elections Canada prints the wrong postal code.” Even Elections Canada admits the error, but says only a court can order a redo.

Translation: The fate of Parliament could literally hinge on a single, undelivered envelope. Democracy, folks. It’s not always pretty, but it’s never boring.

THE TAKEAWAY

• No, Elections Canada isn’t rigging the vote.

• Yes, some ridings were decided by margins so thin you could slice them with a hockey skate.

• And yes, one misprinted label could send an entire riding back to the polls.
