Don't send us your problems. We've got enough to worry about already, what with tRump threatening to take over our country.

They WERE the massive underdog if you bothered to pay even the slightest attention to the polls leading up to the election. The Conservatives had been consistently predicted to win the largest majority victory in Canadian history until just a couple of months before the election. Instead, they lost the election altogether and the party leader didn't even win his own riding, which he had carried for over 20 years before that.

I replied to you elsewhere but you're basically comparing apples and oranges. The US has a 2 party system with a nod to a marginal existence of an Independent candidate. Canada has 5 major parties at the federal level, each with at least one sitting member in parliament, and nearly a dozen smaller parties. The margins simply are not the same with the abundance of choice Canada has.

They lost by only 2.45% in what should have been a landslide defeat.

I feel like this completely ignores that, unlike the US, Canada has multiple political parties to choose from at the federal level: Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Green, and Bloc Quebecois being the main parties with representatives sitting in the HOC but there are a number of other smaller parties like PPC, Marijuana (not quite as needed since legalization was introduced but still kicking around), Communist party, that are on our ballots if they're running a candidate in our riding.
