Across the 7 Quebec elections since @quebecsolidaire.bsky.social was founded, the party has won 36 seats. Under a proportional system its vote share would have given it 81. I don't understand why this isn't the publicized dealbreaker for any agreement with a minority government.

Election	Vote share	Seats won	Proportional share	Shortfall
2007	3.64%	0	4.6 of 125	5
2008	3.78%	1	4.7 of 125	4
2012	6.03%	2	7.5 of 125	6
2014	7.63%	3	9.5 of 125	7
2018	16.08%	10	20.1 of 125	10
2022	15.43%	11	19.3 of 125	8
2026	12.42%	9	15.8 of 127	7
Total		36	81.5	about 45

All the #Ontario parties have now completed their conversion over to the.. flower thing. TBH I kind of think the old liberal logo was pretty iconic and none of these seem very good.

The conservatives had this brief 3 year period where they gave the leaf a little spin which I'm sure was a hot debate. It's probably really annoying that the Liberal's have branded themselves red. #Canada

Police bodycams and the Freedom of Information Act has created a pretty crazy production ecosystem of YouTube channels. They get access, then edit together the footage using the court records and file photos.

My wonderful friend Carl passed away this morning after battling cancer for a year. You can see him pop up in a few of my videos over the years whenever I could squeeze him in. I loved him to bits and he was a profoundly positive influence on my life.
