A few days ago, we saw Canada's Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre lose an election and his own seat. Can we make that twice in a week?

Current numbers (6.1% counted) have a 5.1% swing to the ALP, resulting in a 6.8% lead for Labor's Ali France over Liberal leader Peter Dutton.

We're basically done at this point, but we can see Dutton very slightly coming back as pre-polls start being counted, but he's so deep in the hole that it's irrelevant.
