CBC declared the entire Atlantic for Libs? Wow.

Unless I misheard.

No, they're saying the Liberals are leading or elected in every riding.

Though right now, 23 called for the Liberals, and leading in the other 9.

 

[TheRealTalker]

lol we are all in our seatsfor Altantic Canada

what about the rest of the country GAF

 

[gutter_trash]

McKay is on TV? LOL Belinda broke his heart

 

[UberTag]

lol what are you doing
FUNDY ROYAL

Fundy Royal is doing what they've done in every election... except the last time the Tories got destroyed in 1993.
That's 100 years of blue except to make a statement to the remnants of Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell.

In that election, Atlantic Canada went all red (including Fundy Royal) except for a single riding in Saint John.

 

[Darksol]

32 again, lol

 

[firehawk12]

Back up to 32-0-0-0!

The voters might just do the firing for the NDP.

He's this year's Ignatieff. :/

Isn't he supposed to be impartial given that he's working for a taxpayer-funded news outlet? No wonder why the CPC hates CBC...

Oh hey it's Peter McKay!

Here's Andrew Coyne writing about his legacy: http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/andrew-coyne-peter-mackay-was-a-politician-of-many-titles-but-little-achievement

The notion being put about that MacKay was some sort of tempering influence on Harper, or that without him — pillar of an Atlantic caucus that is about to be wiped out, leader of the half dozen-strong Progressive Conservative wing of the party — the party’s chances in the next election are appreciably diminished, is the triumph of journalism’s relentless search for significance, even where none exists. It is Harper’s party now? It has always been Harper’s party — though in fairness it is a party that now stands for just about the same things MacKay does, so far as anyone can tell.

It seems unlikely that history will record this as the end of “the MacKay era.” It is difficult to speak of a MacKay legacy, or MacKayism, at least with a straight face. Indeed, it is difficult to recall much about him even now. Though not gone, he is forgotten. We shall look upon his like again

32 is the Liberal Party sweeping all of Atlantic Canada, 31 is the Conservative's (or NDP) taking at least on seat from Atlantic Canada.

Atlantic Canada has 32 seats in Parliament. Liberals having 32 seats means they have all of the seats in the Atlantic provinces.

32 ridings in the Atlantic Provinces. Liberals have all 32 nearly swept, but the number keeps dipping as conservative votes come in.

 

[UberTag]

I actually don't mind MacKay.

I've always liked MacKay. Was disappointed to see him bow down to Harper during the merger with the Alliance as I liked him more than Harper.

 

[TheStruggler]

Harper be like

50 minutes until voting closes.

I actually don't mind MacKay.

He accused Marc Garneau, an Astronaut, Engineer and Veteran of being against the troops for a few cheap political points

He's a piece of shit. Trust me.

Liberals are leading or elected in 31-32 constituencies (of 32) in Atlantic Canada. It keeps fluctuating between 32 and 31 for the Liberals, fluctuating between 0 and 1 for the Conservatives.

We're watching the results come in live

 

[GSG Flash]

Fuck you Mackay for destroying(hurting) Canadian democracy

Getting rid of options and essentially a whole political spectrum(fiscal conservatism and social liberalism) for voters is never good for democracy.

 

[ibyea]

Non Canadian here, good luck in getting rid of Harper. Things are looking good on that front!

Thanks to everyone for the explanation.

I'm a former PCer. I'll never forgive Mackay for selling out my old party.

Holy crap, Sackville called for the Liberals. So long, Stoffer.

I really don't know how to feel. This is really the death of the NDP as we know it. And with unions dying in Ontario when TPP becomes law, it's only going to get smaller and smaller. I actually feel sad right now even though I should be happy that Harper is done.

Well there's still another 306 ridings to go But still, every bit helps, and barring any extreme surprises it looks like the only surprise will be whether this becomes a minority or majority government.

The merger was a sound idea. I just wish he had not placed a tyrant in the driver's seat.
