You're confusing the electoral college with the popular vote.
Popular vote means nothing in America , if you haven't noticed they use the electoral college to pick their president . How much of the popular vote gave our illustrious PM his landslide majority government and how much more did he receive relative to PM Harper ?

I don't see how Harper was 'disgraced'.
When you are the party leader and you lose by a large margin you are the big loser. Let alone all the idiotic things he did and said in public while representing Canada. You reply goes a long way towards explaining why you post what you do.

Popular vote means everything.

It's what actually moves government even if they have a majority.

Why am I not surprised?
SCOOP: Canada's New Foreign Minister Lying About Family's Ukrainian Nazi Past
Chrystia Freeland (lead image), appointed last week to be the new Canadian Foreign Minister, claims that her maternal family were the Ukrainian victims of Russian persecution, who fled their home in 1939, after Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin agreed on a non-aggression pact and the division of Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union. She claims her mother was born in a camp for refugees before finding safe haven in Alberta, Canada. Freeland is lying.
The records now being opened by the Polish government in Warsaw reveal that Freeland’s maternal grandfather Michael (Mikhailo) Chomiak was a Nazi collaborator from the beginning to the end of the war. He was given a powerful post, money, home and car by the German Army in Crakow, then the capital of the German administration of the Galician region. His principal job was editor in chief and publisher of a newspaper the Nazis created. His printing plant and other assets had been stolen from a Jewish newspaper publisher, who was then sent to die in the Belzec concentration camp. During the German Army’s winning phase of the war, Chomiak celebrated in print the Wehrmacht’s “success” at killing thousands of US Army troops. As the German Army was forced into retreat by the Soviet counter-offensive, Chomiak was taken by the Germans to Vienna, where he continued to publish his Nazi propaganda, at the same time informing for the Germans on other Ukrainians. They included fellow Galician Stepan Bandera, whose racism against Russians Freeland has celebrated in print, and whom the current regime in Kiev has turned into a national hero.
Just before Vienna fell to the Soviet forces in March 1945, Chomiak evacuated with the German Army into Germany, ending up near Munich at Bad Worishofen. On September 2, 1946, when Freeland says her mother was born in a refugee camp, she was actually in a well-known spa resort for wealthy Bavarians. The US Army then controlled that part of Germany; they operated an Army hospital at Bad Worishofen and accommodated Chomiak at a spa hotel. US Army records have yet to reveal what the Americans learned about Chomiak’s war record, and how he was employed by US Army Intelligence, after he had switched from the Wehrmacht. It took Chomiak another two years before the government in Ottawa allowed the family to enter Canada.
The reason the Polish Government is now investigating Freeland is that Chomiak’s wartime record not only victimized Galician Jews, but also the Polish citizens of Crakow. In a salute to Freeland as a “great friend of Poland” by the Polish Embassy in Ottawa last week, Warsaw officials now believe a mistake was made.

Yeah, only if the popular vote favours the left. You seem to have a real problem accepting the popular vote when it comes to Brexit. And you sure had a problem with the popular vote when it gave Harper a majority govt.
No Harper only got 39% of the popular vote , don't you know 61% were against him .
But Trudeau got 38% of the popular vote and has a mandate to transform Canada into his image .
Just ask Mentalfloss he will explain it to you .

Harper, you incompetent, corrupt little jerk... you shill and quisling. As a failed Prime Minister you grovelled before your masters in the Global Free Market Oligarchies.. to which you sold your country out, with the help your stuttering sidekick Flaherty, who had no more vision than the small town, retail Chamber of Commerce President (from whence he sprung).

Like Chretien and Mulroney before him Harper's angling for a top post in the supranational agencies and corporations which controlled the World Economy.. completely unaware that the entire structure is in a terminal crisis. They are huddled in Davos, with their lackeys and mules, trying to regroup.. but it looks more like a last redoubt for a collapsing ideology than a sober reassessment of a viable agenda. It's the Wolf's Lair.. or the Fuhrer Bunker.

Trump has more guts, class and honesty in his little finger than you have in your whole corpse Stephen... you little crudball.
You are as delusional as flossy.
