...Andrew Scheer came out to give his concession speech. He'd just gotten five minutes into the "I want to thank everybody who..." when Trudeau came out to give his victory speech...and they cut away from Scheers concession speech to hear Trudeau's victory speech.
Hah! Talk about adding insult to injury. It's bad enough to lose the election, but then to have your concession speech get stepped on...

before Singh was finished so i'm fine for what Trudeau did.

Maybe they had agreed upon a time Scheer was to talk.

I am glad the far right was defeated. I personally like Trudeau he seems like a decent guy but it seems that a lot of his late political wounds were self inflicted.
