Just got back from voting, 8:10am now. It took only 5 minutes but I was amazed that the parking lot of our local community centre was full! I guess people are voting before going to work, which makes sense. Hope we can do our part in beating the cons, but I doubt it. Voted NDP which makes the most sense historically:

Also want to thank everyone for the great thread! I mostly lurk but the discussion was great and insightful.

 

[Sean C]

Looks like Joe Oliver might get the boot, too.

Pretty much certain. The seat he's in is very traditionally Liberal.

Frankly, the one good thing Oliver did for the Liberals was oust Joe Volpe, one of the worst MPs in the caucus. He embodied all the worst aspects of the party in the Chrétien/Martin years.

 

[AuthenticM]

I don't know how many of you noticed, but when Oliver talked about having to spend six months in Ottawa as his sentence, they showed a picture of Gatineau, not Ottawa.

Yooooooo, I hadn't seen the back of this ad.

They deliberately made it look like an Elections Canada sign. This fuckin' government.

Just add "...if you're rich" to the end of each sentence and you've got a truthful political ad.

Canadian election is the #1 story on BBC as well.

 

[Bisnic]

Is there any website showing predictions for each ridings, and not based on 2011 results?

I want to vote liberal, but i think NDP as a better chance of beating the conservatives in my riding(but only by trusting 2011 results do I believe that, liberals were dead last with the bloc...)

Hell yeah ! Big thx! Reddit Canada is like on fire today xD. Fun to see how people see this election outside my province!

I'm still pretty sure the Libs will win, so i'm not just too stress full.

But if Harper win tonight........ :'( + i will feel bad for "selling the skin of the bear, before killing him" or something like that lol.

RIP NDP. It's kind of hilarious that Nick Clegg would have loved these losing numbers though. lol

Ah, Prince Albert. The only riding to have been represented by three PMs!

I feel Bernier is too easily dismissed over his alleged mishandling of his top secret files. I'm sure we'll see a lot of new names in the coming months.

Mackay might have stepped aside this election to avoid the stink of the loss. Who knows.

I'm only thinking Bernier because Paul Wells has written about him a few times (though not as much recently) -- apparently Bernier has been able to get away with saying some really right-wing/libertarian stuff, which has made some people speculate that Harper tacitly supports him. The fact he's kind of an idiot may hurt him, but he's going to win with a huge plurality (if not an outright majority). CPC members may look favourably on someone who can win in Quebec while being overtly right-wing.

Just got done voting at a nearby school. Busy lot but very smooth process.

Those posters are so weird haha looks like they're running for leader of the Galactic Empire.

 

[yongeandcollege]

Ready to vote this afternoon. Can't wait to watch the returns this evening too. Hope the turnout is good.

 

[Mysterious]

When would a new Prime Minister assume his role (in the US, elections are in November but inauguration is in January)?

[matthewwhatever]

Huh. Althia Raj (HuffPo Canada) just tweeted this:

I think I just heard NDP candidate Andrew Thomson suggests on CPAC that the NDP might work w a Conservative minority to make Parliament work

In totally unrelated news, Robert Falcon Ouellette has the best signs:

And Trudeau is just showing off at this point:

78 days in, and he has the energy to do that!

When would a new Prime Minister assume his role (in the US, elections are in November but inauguration is in January)?

It's basically right away. Harper is PM until he resigns or loses confidence of the House, and the GG then either calls an election (which obviously doesn't happen if Harper resigns tonight) or offers the role to the leader of the party with the most/next-most seats.

Ugh... seems like an easy win for the conservatives according to 308. I'll still vote, but it hurts to see this.

 

[Azih]

Both the Libs and the NDP have been pretty clear that they can't work with Harper matthew. Not with the conservatives.

Bernier is not a dedicated Conservative for his party. He is more like an indpendant who runs as Conservative MP.

Bernier is right wing libertarian who believes in zero government. He could run as an independent and win 70% in his riding.

people there are not voting Conservative, they are voting Bernier.

And the whole story of leaving top secret information in a hotel room with a former girlfriend who had links to biker gangs pretty much kills his chances of becoming leader

 

[matthewwhatever]

I know -- that's what makes Thomson saying that the NDP would in a minority situation so strange.

 

[mrboo001]

Hey guys I just got an automated phone call from the local con MP, Randy Hoback. It went on about why you should vote for Randy but it was someone else than Randy... isn't that illegal/robo calling?

 

[firehawk12]

When would a new Prime Minister assume his role (in the US, elections are in November but inauguration is in January)?

Nothing so scheduled. Basically when the old PM loses and vacates office officially via the GG, the next person is made PM.

I am curious to see who the next speaker will be. You'd assume a Liberal, but if it's a minority, who knows.

Bernier wins because he's in one of most conservative ridings in Quebec, if not the most. Beauce is weirdly libertarian.
Elsewhere, he's widely considered to be an idiot. He's also been totally invisible the last few years compared to Lebel, Blaney and Paradis.

They said they might work with a Conservative minority not with Harper.

Huh. Althia Raj (HuffPo Canada) just tweeted this:

Especially if people become strongly reminded of their hand in getting the Conservatives into power in the first place.

 

[firehawk12]

I assume they'd go with whoever offers them the best deal. This is why I'm hoping for a close minority, because at least the NDP don't become even more irrelevant than it was during the last session.

What?

 

[matthewwhatever]

Ohhhh...I get what you're saying. I misread what you wrote.

That seems like political suicide -- like, it would be as if they looked at the Lib Dems in the UK, and decided that would be a good model to follow.

 

[Azih]

It would have to be a hell of a deal and with an interim leader completely unlike Harper for Mulcair's support from NDP members to not completely die.

It didn't work for Nick Clegg because he was basically Cameron's bitch. They betrayed every single promise they made to be a part of the government and all they got out of it was a plebiscite on PR that failed.

 

[elty]

Personal wish:
Liberal majority
MMPR
NDP kept most of their seat in Quebec
Bloc got shut out
Conservative got split into three parties: a racist one, a big corporation one, and a progressive one
Harper and his senior staff got convicted for voter fraud.

 

[gabbo]

That basically means if Harper is around in a minority situation, they won't work with them.

 

[mrboo001]

Huh. Althia Raj (HuffPo Canada) just tweeted this:

If the NDP is dumb enough to do that (even with Harper gone) I would never vote for them for a generation, if not for life. And I voted NDP for every federal election I was able to.

 

[Azih]

And that wasn't even PR. It was the fake reform AV.

 

[firehawk12]

It would have to be a hell of a deal and with an interim leader completely unlike Harper for Mulcair's support from NDP members to not completely die.

I would assume nothing short of a formal powersharing agreement with NDP members of cabinet would have to be offered, something that the Liberals will NEVER give the NDP.

If the NDP is dumb enough to do that (even with Harper gone) I would never vote for them for a generation, if not for life. And I voted NDP for every federal election I was able to.

I mean, what's the alternative? People seem really optimistic that even though they are losing seats, the NDP are still doing fine. For me, I see them sliding into irrelevancy in the next decade - especially if no form of PR is implemented by the next cycle.

Voted for NDP last time, but gonna go with Justin this time wishing that infrastructure money gets sent here in Gatineau to fix these 3rd world country roads were driving on.

This is what I've been saying forever now! If, on the off chance, the Conservatives get a plurality of the seats then we could easily see a Conservative minority propped up by one of the opposition parties but on the condition that Harper steps down.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Just voted. Thought about going Green since my riding looks like a lock for the Liberals at this point but I figured if enough people do that it's no longer a lock, so I went Liberal.

Line wasn't that long but moved super slow. Took nearly 20 mins with only 6 people in front of me. My polling station was in a senior's home, so it was mostly seniors in line. I'm pretty sure none of them had any idea what ID they needed, they all looked so confused and upset when the Elections Canada workers asked for ID, most just handed over their wallet. I can see a lot of them not voting conservative over just that, even switching votes at the last minute.
