Tarot Politics - Canadian Election 2021

In honour of my statement that I trust my cards more than I trust the pollsters, here are my polls for the election should it be held this week. I pulled three cards for each leader.

Based on these cards, I am currently predicting a Liberal Minority Government, with the NDP holding the balance of power. (I notice at this publishing that I did NOT read for the Bloc.)

LPC: Queen of Cups, Prince of Cups, Princess of Disks
Queen of Cups represents the focus on the people, the care taking that has been done. The Prince of cups shows the concern for his base and taking care of only what the LPC cares about and followed by the Princess of Disks, shows a grounded beginning, likely showing a squeaker of a majority or worse,  

CPC: 3 of Cups, 3 of Pentacles, 7 of Pentacles
Celebration, building, harvesting. They are going to make inroads in places they didn’t expect. O’Toole’s hard work will pay off.

NDP: 6 of Cups, the Lovers, Prince of Wands

Give and take, lots of support, lots ot offer, but at the end of the day, the energy will still be that of always the bridemaid, never the bride. The party may be holding the balance of power.

GPC: 9 of Cups, 4 of Cups, Temperance
The wish is for more vote, s’more seats, this is a little bit of happy comfort after success, although it’s going to take a little bit of work to get there from here.


Others: 10 of Pentacles, the Hermit, Queen of Cups
This will be the ultimate death of the party, the majority of whom will crawl under their rocks and all that will be left will be crying into their koolaid.


Justin Trudeau: 2 of Cups, the Fool, 2 of Wands

He goes into this election with the hearts of the electorate and he is taken the chance of writing a knew mandate, and so he does, but it looks an awful lot like the last mandate.


Jagmeet Singh: 7 of Pentacles, 5 of Cups, 2 of Pentacles

Expecting to reap the harvest, it’s going to be all over but crying over spilt milk, the deuce of Pents here feels like the magpie in her harbinger of death mode. I don’t think he will even win his seat. But his part will make inroads.


Annamie Paul: Knight of Wands, the Wheel of Fortune, 4 of Pentacles

Charging into the arena with energy and passion the wheel will spin and she will be satisfied to have new more solid place from which to begin.


Erin O’Toole: Ace of Wands, the High Priestess, 5 of Swords.

Here is the man with a brilliant plan, inspired by everything Canadians want to hear, and it is going to be a challenge to get it past Canadians.


Maxime Bernier: Adjustment, the High Priestess, 5 of Swords

This leader needs to come to terms with the reality that although he has some really valid and just concepts, his followers need to learn the difference between reality and fantasy. And as such there just isn’t enough support for him to win his seat.
