When it comes to the popular vote in Atlantic Canada, it's kind of crazy so far:

 

[UberTag]

Fundy Royal finally popped up.

The gap in Tobique-Mactaquac is closing. Cons only winning by 71 votes.

Tobique is up for grabs. Royal should remain comfortably blue.

 

[Mr.Mike]

I just realized how over represented Atlantic Canada truly is. 10% of ridings but only 6% of the population.

And still they don't have much of a voice really. I'm fine with them being bit overrepresented.

Of course this wouldn't be an issue with PR.

 

[explodet]

Liberals doing work

Man, that is a STRONG gif.

 

[sindbadthesailor]

Liberals: 26
Conservatives: 2
NDP: 1
Green Party: 0
Other: 0

As per CTV

 

[AstroNut325]

I haven't followed the details. Is the Harper government on the way out finally? Are Canadians going more right or to the left based on early results?

 

[Walpurgis]

Looking forward to Quebec.

 

[firehawk12]

I just want the NDP to carry Quebec to at least come out of this miss without being total fucking losers.

 

[bonesmccoy]

How many hours till BC's polls close? I'm thinking of going tk the library and streaming cbc's coverage but I'm only allowed two hours on their computers.

2 hours

 

[Vamphuntr]

They started counting advanced polling in QC and ON. We still can't see where the results are from though.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

FUCK is Rob Moir in the lead in Fundy M?

 

[Razorskin]

We'll get a better idea once Ontario and Quebec results come in.

 

[Conscience Falls]

Dammit New Brunswick, you do nothing for four years and you might give us a conservative.

We do stuff! Like keep you all somewhat entertained during the few months we aren't a wasteland.

Tobique is running super-close.

Bobby Morrissey is just crushing Gail Shea.

Liberals ahead by 4 votes in Saint John.

Well, this is a surprise.

Come on Saint John-Rothesay

Take out Rodney Weston pls.

I seriously cannot see it happening but I'm fully willing to believe some magic will make it so.

 

[Silexx]

I will say this: If the Liberals are to form a majority, they need at least 25 seats in Atlantic Canada. But again, let's not call it just yet.

 

[Sean C]

Bill Casey has double the Tory vote in Cumberland.

 

[massivekettle]

And still they don't have much of a voice really. I'm fine with them being overrepresented.

They arguably have too much of a voice. Ridings should be realigned/reset to match census data, just like the Electoral College in the USA.

Their fate in Quebec is especially crucial.

I suspect St. John's East is going to go late into the night before being called.

 

[Darksol]

You've done swell Atlantic Canada.

 

[Cake Boss]

26!!!

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

So it's safe to assume Harper is out? From the UK, well done Canada. Harper has damaged Canada's reputation abriad almost as badly as Bush Jr did for the US.

I'm still praying for a minority. I guess my only hope is that the Liberals get annihilated in BC.

Not yet, since Atlantic Canada was widely expected to go Liberal anyway.

Quebec is the real test.

Left

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

I agree that to some extent dental care should be covered (2 cleanings a year, 1-2 fillings a year).

For Vision: Agreed that 1 visit every 2 years should be covered. The issue is glasses. Should only lenses be covered? Should frames be included up to a certain dollar value?

I disagree. Only necessary dental procedures should be covered, and it should require a referral from a GP - like seeing any other specialist, to prevent abuse of the system. If GPs don't have enough expertise, start training them to pick up dental problems.

The problem with dentistry is that there's been no push to have evidence based practice. People don't realize that a lot of dental procedures and investigations have little to no evidence or utility behind them. Routine dental x-rays are completely useless. Dental cleaning is purely cosmetic at best, and probably the dental industry's equivalent to rust proofing a car. These are things the public shouldn't pay for.

What census data?

 

[Stasis]

Dunno about Ontario but I can just feel Quebec is gonna ruin things. You know it's gonna be all over the place. Speaking to friends, family, etc. that's exactly what it was and that's the sentiment I got everywhere really.

 

[killer rin]

Hey, what do those numbers in the brackets next to the riding name on the CBC Stream mean?

 

[Sean C]

27!

 

[Mr.Mike]

St.Johns East is actually kinda close.

Will the NDP have any seats east of Quebec?

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Haha

 

[Indicate]

I just realised that you can favourite ridings to watch on the cbc dashboard. I'm an idiot.

 

[Svafnir]

Go canada.

Are there any live streams on internet? I dont have cable.

 

[massivekettle]

What census data?

[eBay Huckster]

St.Johns East is actually kinda close.

Will the NDP have any seats east of Quebec?

at this point, anywhere from 1 to 3 with an outside shot at 0

 

[Sapiens]

Take that, Harper. Now it is time for you to fall.

 

[Sean C]

28!

 

[UberTag]

In the raw vote count right now, the NDP has crawled slightly ahead of the Conservatives.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Woah, Stoffer losing in Sackville. That would be shocking.

 

[Tapejara]

Holy shit. So happy with the result so far.

 

[firehawk12]

St.Johns East is actually kinda close.

It's possible for them to be wiped out. RIP.

 

[oneils]

damn, at this rate Trudeau gonna be rolling up on 24 Sussex Drive like

Hahaha.

Cool, so at the same time, we should get slash all those rural Ontario ridings too while we're at it.
