Summary
On Monday, Canada held a federal election for members of the House of Commons to the 45th Parliament. The Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, won a plurality of seats, securing a fourth consecutive term in power. The Conservative Party placed second, and party leader Pierre Poilievre lost his seat, casting his political future into doubt. While the Liberals did not take enough seats to win a majority, as the party that received the most votes they will now put forward their party leader, Carney, to retain his position as prime minister.

| 0:44.7 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking and a little bit of my take. |
| 0:59.7 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we're going to be talking about the election results in Canada. |
| 1:05.4 | We have a new prime minister, it appears, on the way, and also some interesting reversals of fortunes, |
| 1:14.5 | I guess you could say, tied directly to our president here, Donald Trump. So we're going to be |
| 1:18.1 | talking about exactly what happened. Before we jump in, though, speaking of Donald Trump, |
| 1:22.9 | tomorrow we are going to join the chorus of news outlets reviewing Trump's first 100 days. However, |
| 1:29.3 | we'll be doing it in typical tangle fashion, evaluating how Trump has performed on key campaign |
| 1:34.6 | promises, then running through the other key initiatives of his administration, sharing |
| 1:39.0 | perspectives from the left and the right side by side, then offering our own analysis of his term so far. Part one of this |
| 1:45.8 | is going to be released tomorrow to all tangle listeners and readers. So there'll be an episode on the |
| 1:50.5 | podcast and a newsletter coming out and it will include a breakdown of Trump's campaign promises |
| 1:54.8 | and whether he is on track to keep them. Part two is going to be released on Friday. That will be a member's only edition in both the |
| 2:02.9 | podcast and the newsletter. So there will be a preview of it here on the podcast, but you'll have to |
| 2:08.2 | become a member to get the whole thing. That second part is going to include assessments from the |
| 2:13.0 | left and the right and then my tape. A reminder that if you're not yet a Tangle member, if you're hearing |
| 2:19.1 | ads on this podcast, for instance, you can go to retangle.com forward slash membership and become a |
