If you thought Carney's victory was Trump's biggest 'triumph' since being elected, Mexico's leftist president Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of 85%.

And Australia, where Peter Dutton's been flailing about calling The Guardian and ABC "hate media". He's being trounced on personal ratings by Albanese and may do worse than before on the two party comparison.

I've been calling him Poliviere for years. It's Polievre. Apol.

Doesn't much matter now.

I've got a funny feeling we haven't heard the last of him, in the way that we haven't heard the last of Truss.

If by that you mean he’ll go on to make an increasingly humiliating and stupid bunch of speeches and proclamations, make ever more desperate appearances at conferences in other countries where the hosts clearly have no idea who they are, and frequently act as the kiss of death whenever they endorse someone or something, then I am all for this

I've realized I'm still not getting his name right. In the meantime, a bit of levity.

Don't be too hard on yourself unless he becomes the tie-breaker in your local pub quiz in ten years' time.

Carney takes a bit of ribbing for his school boy French. If you're planning to become Canadian PM after a tight election you should swot up.

[Spoonman]

Poilievre has indeed lost his seat. This, from a position of a whopping majority predicted just 3 months ago.

Amazing.

One big reason I'm seeing for losing his seat was that his constituency/riding was in the suburbs of Ottowa, and campaigning for a DOGE-like exercise on the Canadian federal government when your seat contains an awful lot of public-sector workers was perhaps not the smartest of ideas.

[Tubby Isaacs]

That rings very true. All the results in Ottawa that I've found were terrible for the Tories. Has a London post-Brexit look about it, where MPs who'd been confidently totting up the new professionals moving in suddenly realized that these professionals preferred Corbyn to May in Kipper mode.
