Yeah. An American thing. I did see a youtube that had people freaking out because DROs take the ballots and ballot boxes home from advance polls. It's 100% normal.
lol
There are 10 provinces and three territories.
We will never be the 51st state though realistically we could be States 51 through 63, unless of course Quebec exercises an option to join Louisiana, or maybe Florida since most of the snowbirds are from Quebec.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats of annexation shaped the federal election in a dramatic way, causing many Canadians to put their trust in a new Liberal leader that they barely know but trust enough to navigate uncharted waters? Give your heads a shake…
Mark Carney, a political novice, was chosen (hand picked by Justin Trudeau) as leader of the Liberal party seven weeks ago, was sworn in as prime minister five days later, and called an election 10 days after that.
Like it or not, by winning a fourth-straight election following a disastrous and scandal-plagued 10 years in office, the Liberal party has proven, once again, that it is indeed Canada’s “natural governing party.”
Only a party that is the default choice of the Canadian electorate could trail in the polls by 26 percentage points in January and go on to win an election in April.Jesse Kline: Liberals prove they're the 'natural governing party' after all — National Post
Only a party that's the default choice of the electorate could trail by 26 points in January and go on to win an election in April
Only a party that engenders blind trust among voters could convince people that the team responsible for Canada’s failing economic health are actually those best suited to fix the problems they created; that a government that’s tried the same things over and over again for the past 10 years is actually the party of change; and that a leader who made a career out of trying to keep fossil fuels in the ground is the guy who’s going to develop Canada’s natural resources.
Now this choice will be inflicted upon all of Canada.
The public sector has spoken.
For me it just seems the Liberal party is fixated on a sense of entitlement and that they have never had to pay for anything ever. Not too may gardeners.
I'm disappointed.

Well, those who voted Liberal in this election either accepted the lie, or have the attention span of a moth.
The crime, the drug overdoses, the homelessness, the cost of living, the whole fucking country is broken.

Carney dance
Canada's Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Mark Carney dances at a victory party in Ottawa on April 29, 2025.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney celebrated his election victory by breaking out his best dad dance moves in Ottawa Monday night.
But the Liberal Leader was roasted by netizens for an improvised “elbows up” routine he debuted alongside Time to Win by Down With Webster.
On TikTok, one clip of Carney gyrating has generated over 1.5 million views, with Canadians comparing Carney to Modern Family’s awkward Phil Dunphy character and saying that his shimmy reminded them of his unpopular predecessor Justin Trudeau.
“This is incredibly embarrassing,” one person commented, with another adding, “Nobody in real life dances like that.”
Others said his “cringeworthy” boogie was going to make it easier for U.S. President Donald Trump to realize his ambition to take over Canada.
“The 51st governor has some moves!” one person quipped as another swiped, “51st state incoming.”
“Canada is cooked,” a third predicted.
But not everyone found Carney’s choreography off putting. Some voters said his dance made him “likeable and relatable.”
“This is so amazing!” one person commented. “I have hope for Canada’s future. I get the ‘Obama’ vibes from him. We are so fortunate to have him.”
“I am proud of you, Canadians!” one American viewer wrote. “You saw what our ‘Conservatives’ devolved to in the U.S. and said, ‘Not today, Satan!'”
Heading into Monday’s election, Trump, who had repeatedly referred to former Prime Minister Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau,” once again claimed Canada should become a U.S. state.
“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump has hit Canada with tariffs on automobiles, steel and aluminum. His government is also planning to impose duties on lumber and copper.
On Friday, Trump was asked by Time magazine if he was trolling Canada by saying he wants the country to become the 51st state.
“Actually, no, I’m not,” he replied. “I’m really not trolling. Canada is an interesting case … We’re taking care of their military. We’re taking care of every aspect of their lives, and we don’t need them to make cars for us. In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”
Both Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre condemned Trump’s rhetoric, but during a potentially destabilizing time, the Liberal Leader sold himself as a more steady hand to help guide Canada forward.
In the run-up to the election, Carney, a former Goldman Sachs banker, joined forces with Toronto native Mike Myers for an ad themed around “elbows up,” a common hockey term used to signal it’s time to fight back.
In his victory speech early Tuesday, Carney promised to do just that.
“My message to every Canadian is this: No matter where you live, no matter what language you speak, no matter how you voted, I will always do my best to represent everyone who calls Canada home,” he said at an event in Ottawa.
Carney said he’s also ready to take on Trump’s threats.
“As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us,” he said. “That will never — that will never, ever happen.”
