The federal election detonated a political fault line that now runs straight through Confederation itself.
Despite every underhanded tactic from legacy media, every behind-the-scenes whisper campaign, and every dirty political trick — including Doug Ford’s election meddling and the “Longest Ballot” stunt that humiliated Canadian democracy — the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) emerged from Election 2025 with historic momentum.
With 7.9 million votes, the CPC secured 41.6% of the popular vote — the largest vote count in party history.
In Ontario, Poilievre’s Conservatives received 44.5% of the vote, surpassing the 42.9% that earned Doug Ford a majority provincial government.[i]
While legacy media obsesses over Pierre Poilievre losing his seat (a calculated hit job, not a grassroots defeat), Canada’s conservative base is larger, more united, and more determined than ever.
A Hollow Liberal Victory?
Mark Carney now leads a fragile Liberal minority, one stitched together not by enthusiasm or unity, but by media manipulation and voting collusion on the left.
Elizabeth May canceled 111 Green Party candidates to avoid splitting the vote with Liberals.
Jagmeet Singh immolated himself on the national stage, seemingly for the same reason. Singh lost his seat in a stunning third-place defeat. Nationwide, the NDP dropped 19 seats and hemorrhaged support.
In Quebec, the Bloc Québécois also lost 11 seats in what many see as confirmation that nationalist energy in Canada is shifting — and not in Quebec’s direction.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford effectively campaigned for the Liberals through planted media stories and behind-the-scenes sabotage. Even with Ford doing their dirty work, the Liberals only managed a net gain of 11 seats.
Carney may believe he has a mandate, but he does not have momentum.
As more and more of the truth about Carney comes out, the Liberals’ shiny new hood ornament that shines like silver today will tarnish like tin tomorrow.
The sleazy backroom deals with the NDP and Green Party may have earned him a slim minority government, but those deals mean that Carney must now withstand the scrutiny of Canadians in a way he’s never faced before.
Alberta’s Boiling Point?
Premier Danielle Smith’s nine demands to Carney—including scrapping clean-energy regulations, reforming C-69, and ending the single-use plastics ban—reflect a broader frustration with Ottawa’s hostility toward Alberta’s oil and gas sector.
After years of being vilified for powering the nation — literally and economically — Albertans are now openly discussing what was once unthinkable: independence.
The day after the election, Premier Danielle Smith introduced legislation to make a provincial referendum easier by cutting the signature requirement in half and adding 30 extra days to collect them.
“In the weeks and months ahead, Albertans will have an opportunity to discuss our province’s future, assess various options for strengthening and protecting our province against future hostile acts from Ottawa, and to ultimately choose a path forward,” Smith said.[ii]
The growing push for Alberta sovereignty is no longer a fringe discussion. The independence movement is stepping out of the shadows, and this time, it’s not just talk.
Smith’s proposed changes to Alberta’s referendum legislation signal serious intent to reclaim provincial autonomy — potentially all the way to the negotiating table on Confederation’s very terms.
Doug Ford’s Conservative Betrayal
Doug Ford actively worked against the federal Conservative campaign, claiming that the federal Conservatives should take campaign instruction from him and his team if they want to win Ontario.
Ford’s media manipulation and strategic silence during the campaign served only one purpose — to undermine Poilievre’s momentum and secure Carney’s narrow victory.
Given Ford’s rhetoric, it’s ironic that that Pierre Poilievre outperformed Doug Ford’s 2025 provincial results in Ontario, with Poilievre earning 44.5% of the vote versus Ford’s 42.9%.
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, fresh off a win in Bowmanville–Oshawa North, called out Ford directly, branding him a “hype man for the Liberals.”
Jivani echoes what many Conservative supporters feel: Ontario’s so-called conservative leader is conservative in name only.
A Nation Fracturing or A Conservative Movement Rising
This election didn’t settle Canada’s political future. It exposed the fault lines:
- Between the West and Ottawa
- Between true conservatives and their false allies
- Between grassroots voters and elite media spin
The Conservative Party is rising. Pierre Poilievre may have lost a battle — but he gained an army.
Mark Carney may sit in the Prime Minister’s Office, but he does so on borrowed time.
His fragile minority, propped up by media interference and political betrayal, has no moral mandate. Meanwhile, Alberta eyes the exit door, and millions of Canadians are done waiting for Ottawa to listen.
If Carney fails to bridge the gap with the West, Alberta’s referendum talk could escalate from rhetoric to reality, threatening confederation itself.
