OTTAWA — While Conservatives weren’t quite able to beat the Liberals in Monday’s federal election, they can take some solace in the fact that grade school students brought it home for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in the 2025 Student Vote.
The students’ votes led to a Conservative minority government, with Pierre Poilievre’s party earning a hypothetical 165 seats from 36.4 per cent of the vote.

When an emotional Singh took the stage to speak to a crowd of supporters in Burnaby, B.C. he was in third place in his riding with less than 20 per cent of the vote, trailing both the Conservative and Liberal candidate.

OTTAWA — Social media on election day can be the Wild West, with the tumbleweeds of misinformation blowing in left and right. Luckily, there’s a new sheriff in town: the Elections Canada X account.
After a day of posting infographics telling people how and when to vote, the social media managers hopped onto X to respond to various complaints and inquiries. These ranged from complaints about poll workers asking voters who they voted for, to claims that other workers were stealing ballots. Elections Canada was quick to shoot down the latter allegation.
