The Great White Hope: What if Frank McKenna went into federal politics?

Lore

Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe MP Claudette Bradshaw retires earlier in 2004, leading to former Premier of New Brunswick Frank McKenna to run in the riding in the federal election, which he wins in handily. McKenna is then appointed Finance Minister by Paul Martin. After the Liberals lose in 2006, McKenna runs for the party leadership, which he wins. In 2007, the Conservative budget is voted down, with the Bloc being convinced by McKenna to oppose it.

In the ensuing election, the Liberals win a minority government, thanks to McKenna running a good campaign. After this defeat, Harper resigns as Conservative leader.

To get the results of the federal election, ITTL I used a poll by Ipsos from May 2007, and put the data from it into Poliwave's election simulator.

The 2019 Alberta general election, but there's no UCP

This post is a remake of one I did a while ago. The POD for this that the UCP is never formed in Alberta, and the right remains split. While, polls before the merger in OTL had Wildrose leading, I think the NDP would ulimately win the 2019 Alberta election, due to vote splitting on the right. In this situation, the NDP is reelected with a minority government of 35 seats, with the PCs and Wildrose gaining seats, and the Alberta Party keeping Calgary-Elbow.

ITTL, the PCs and Wildrose form confidence and supply after voting down the NDP government's throne speech, like what happended in BC after the 2017 election. Brian Jean becomes premier.

The 2016 Democratic presidential primaries, but Biden runs (Prequel)

This post is a prequel to this one. The premise is the same, with Beau Biden never getting cancer and dieing, leading to Biden to jump into the race for president in 2016. I decided to make a infobox/map for the Democratic primaries, ITTL. I tried my best with the map, with who would win which contest. The states/territories in blue are ones won by Biden, green are ones won by Sanders, and yellow are ones won by Clinton.

This is a repost, because I decided to revamp the results a bit.

Liberal Wipeout: The 2025 Canadian federal election, but Harris wins in 2024, and Trudeau doesn't resign

Lore

Kamala Harris wins the 2024 United States presidential election, thus eliminating the anti-Trump sentiment in Canada. Fast forward to December 2024, and Chrystia Freeland agrees to replaced as finance minister by Mark Carney, after Trudeau appoints her back to the foreign affairs position, instead of offering a position without a department.

Without the political crisis caused by Freeland's resignation, Trudeau stays on as Prime Minister, not proroguing parliament. Once parliament resumes, the Liberals lose on a motion of no confidence, triggering an earlier election.

In the election, the Conservatives win a landslide victory of 236 seats, surpassing Brian Mulroney's 211 seat victory in 1984. The Liberals are reduced to third place for the first time since 2011, with the Bloc becoming the official opposition for the first time since 1993.

To get the results, I based them off this poll from Leger conducted in December 2024, which I put in the election simulator by Poliwave.

Lore:

ITTL, Bill Clinton narrowly loses the 1992 United States presidential election to George H.W. Bush. So, he continues serving as Governor of Arkansas, running for a sixth term in a rematch against Republican candidate Sheffield Nelson, in which he wins comfortably.

Lore

Governor General Michaëlle Jean refuses to prorogue parliament during the coalition crisis of late 2008. This allows the opposition (Liberals and NDP, with Bloc confidence and supply) to form government, with Stéphane Dion becoming Prime Minister. Harper steps down as Conservative leader, eventually being replaced by Jim Prentice.

Things go smoothly for the coalition until Michael Ignatieff becomes Liberal leader/PM. Ignatieff's preference for confidence and supply, and Blue Liberalism ends up clashing with the ideas of the NDP and Bloc. Eventually, the coalition falls apart, triggering an election. The results end up being a Conservative landslide, with the Liberals and their coalition partners suffering losses. The Bloc becomes the OO for the first time since 1993.

Reuploaded due to errors

Lore

Evan McMullin mangages to win Utah, while Hillary Clinton wins Michigan, and Pennsylvania. This deadlocks the electoral college for the first time in 192 years, forcing contingent elections for president, and vice president on January 6, 2017. Trump is easily elected by the House, while Tim Kaine is elected by the Senate thanks to Democratic candidates winning in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Throughout their term together, Trump and Kaine end up having a Adams and Jefferson esque relationship.

Lore

Evan McMullin manages to win Utah, while Hillary Clinton wins Michigan, and Pennsylvania. This deadlocks the electoral college for the first time in 192 years.

On January 6, 2017, two contigent elections are held in congress for president, and vice president. Trump is easily elected by the House, while Tim Kaine is elected by the Senate thanks to the Democrats winning a few more seats. Throughout, their first and only term together, Trump and Kaine would have a Adams and Jefferson esque relationship.
