In reply to Prako
We will know who the Canadian PM will be tonight. Canada gets its votes counted in one night!
Meanwhile, the US uses technology that it takes them weeks to count their ballots.

Canada have minimal population vs USA
California alone is Canada - in essence, Canada is a 51st state.
In T&T PNM conceded at 10:30pm
UNC wins
Interesting Fact: PNM has never won a snap election that it has called
Looks like Rowley did a Biden to Stuart
“The closeness between PM Young and [Venezuela’s] Maduro’s regime will be on the Trump administration’s radar should the PNM win the election,” Ghany said. “It is quite possible that there may be a different response from the Trump administration should the UNC win the election, given the favourable disposition of Kamla Persad-Bissessar towards Trump,” he added.

Tobago had a big mandate here. They are the check and balance depending on how their MPs vote because 28 is the magic number for a two-thirds majority.

I expected a UNC win, but the margin is a bit of a surprise.
Let's see if Kamla can hold the coalition together this time around.
And if she's has enough of her mental faculties left to handle that thankless job.
In reply to VIX
The interesting thing though is "she doesn't really need a coalition."
I say that in quotes because the "Smaller parties" went to the polls on their own ballot and UNC ended up getting 26 seats on their own. Now that is the high level view, at the micro level, lots of those Smaller Parties had supporters who aligned with the UNC and can flee at anytime - so yes, it is a finely balanced dynamic that Kamla has to manage.
Economically and Security wise, T&T is in a bad place which will be the top 2 items they need to begin working on.

US Secretary of State hails new PM: 'Kamla, a strong leader'
Rubio said, “She is a strong leader, friend, and US ally who shares @POTUS's (President of the US) priorities on security and immigration.
“We look forward to building a close partnership for the future of TT, and the entire Caribbean,” he added.
A post on the US Department of State’s website, elaborated on Rubio’s words and praised the country for a smooth democratic process.
“We commend the people of TT for their continued commitment to democratic values and institutions, demonstrated through the peaceful and orderly conduct of their free and fair national elections."
It noted the decades-long relationship between both nations.
“The US and TT share a strong and enduring partnership rooted in deep historic ties, regional co-operation, and shared goals for prosperity and security.
The statement ended with the US adding it looks forward to working with Persad-Bissessar “to strengthen our collaboration on energy security, economic prosperity, and countering transnational crime.”

Another one who drank MAGA infested Kool Aid. Ignorant in espousing any of Trump's ridiculousness.
