   By now probably most people who were talking about it have heard that   
   our Liberal Party under Mark Carney won the election, but didn't get   
   a majority gov't, which means he needs other elected people to back   
   him up to get things passed that he wants to get through, new laws   
   and big decisions and such.   
      
   He only missed the majority by 3 'seats' which I think is called   
   a Voting College or Electoral District in the USA.   
   Depending on the estimates he got somewhere between 8.3 and 9 million   
   votes, but they mentioned on the news today that if he had gotten   
   just 608 more votes in exactly the right districts, he could have   
   won 3 more seats and gotten that majority.   
      
   I tend to prefer the Minority situation since it tends to limit   
   the power, and therefore the damage, that the party can do to   
   the country.   
      
   Trump congatulated Mark Carney today saying he had hoped that   
   he might win since he figured that "Mr. Carney doesn't hate me   
   quite as much as Pierre Poilierve does"..    B)   
      
   Apparently Poilierve didn't even win his own seat where he lives   
   so he's got to find a way to get rid of someone else in his party   
   who won their district so that he can replace them there..   
      
   Trump and Carney are supposed to get together at the White House   
   fairly soon. Trump talks like he thinks a lot of Carney, but   
   we'll see how that works out when they meet. One thing maybe   
   going for Carney is that he is well respected by national leaders   
   all around the world after working with them while he was the   
   Governor of the Bank of Canada for 5.5 years and then Governor   
   of the Bank of England for 7 years.. Trump tends to like people   
   he feels are important so maybe that history will help..
