To his credit, however, Poilievre delivered a dignified concession speech, as did Jagmeet Singh of the NDP and Mark Carney of the Liberals. All three delivered speeches that were gracious, especially Singh, whose party had a difficult night. He resigned because he lost his own seat in British Columbia and the NDP was reduced to 7 seats, losing official party status. Many NDP supporters voted strategically in order to prevent the Conservatives from forming the government.

Poilievre, for his part, did not attack the other leaders. He did not refuse to concede. He did not blame anyone or anything for the fact that his party did not win the election. He merely said that the Conservatives fell just short of finishing the job. Meanwhile, Carney spoke of humility and admitted that he had made mistakes. He said he intended to serve as prime minister of all Canadians. Can you imagine Trump or JD Vance saying something like that? Never in a million years. There was no talk by any of the leaders of the election being stolen or rigged. How refreshing! How civilized! How democratic!

The road ahead will not be easy. Canadians face challenges that they have never faced before. Since Donald Trump is abandoning U.S .leadership in the world, Canada must form new trade alliances. Canada and Europe must fill the leadership void. Our great nation must provide some stability in a world of Trumpian chaos.
