[eBay Huckster]

So congratulations guys on this win. Hopefully us south of border can do something similar next year.

fyi this is functionally the same as a Clinton win

 

[matthewwhatever]

What was your prediction?

He (and I) were the only ones who have been on the Liberal train since the election call.

And gutter has been predicting this outcome since day 1 of the campaign.

 

[Sean C]

Paul Calandra is going down. Oh happy day.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Man I think it's sensationalism to call it now before Ontario.

 

[mrboo001]

What was your prediction?

From September 22

SPOILERS

Spoiler

Justin Trudeau will be our next Prime Minister

Edit: beaten

 

[UberTag]

GUYS DID WE DO IT!?!?!? ARE WE FREE!?!? HARPER DECADE OVER!?!? IM CRYING!! 😂

His reign of tyranny is over. Rejoice!

 

[erpg]

Could the CPC and NPD form a coalition in the event of a minority Liberal win?

You've been trolling us this whole time, haven't you.

 

[Walpurgis]

Gutter deserves a new tag.

Agreed.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Yo, as an American watching the Rebel Election youtube channel, this fool is going in on Trudeau.

LOL amazing.

 

[firehawk12]

NDP will be fine. They just need a new leader.

It won't matter. I'm not sticking around for another decade of "rebuilding". I'm fucking out.

Regardless of how this goes for the rest of the night, I hope that we can work to turn a page on a chapter of Canadian history that has been characterized by an erosion of much of what made Canada great. It'll take a lot of work, and it's not guaranteed just by having any one party wins, but I believe we can start that process.

Yeah, I have really mixed feelings. I want Harper out, but I just saw my dreams get crushed. I'm legit sad right now.

There's no point in throwing away your vote when you don't even know what the next election will look like.

<3

I just can't get my hopes up anymore. I imagine this is what finding out your partner is cheating on you is like or something equally tragic.

 

[Vamphuntr]

24 CPC out of nowhere

[Azzanadra]

Liberal's after FPTP gives them the majority: Why fix what isn't broken

Their not winning because of FPTP, they are winning IN SPITE OF FPTP.

 

[mdubs]

Paul Calandra is going down. Oh happy day.

See, I voted for him in the last election and yeah, pretty much. I think it was the crying that did it for me

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Bleh. Bloc's have the lead somewhere.

 

[dragonfart28]

Mansbridge admitting it's not worth mentioning Mulcair's riding lol

 

[Razorskin]

Anju! Let's do this!

 

[SilentMatthew]

Still, the most surprising thing that happened tonight is that the CBC appears to have a budget of some kind.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Denis lebel is already leading nooooon

 

[Xirj]

Woooo. Fingers crossed!

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Mansbridge admitting it's not worth mentioning Mulcair's riding lol

It will be soon.

 

[Slime]

I'm still bummed about the NDP, but so. so. SO. fucking thankful Harper is out.

THANK FUCK

 

[Darksol]

The fuck is that light blue thing?

EDIT: Ah...Bloc.

 

[Luigi87]

Bloc....bleck.

 

[SRG01]

Liberals at 71 on CBC. Wow.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

prairies going to show why they should just be given to texas and forgotten about

 

[Apathy]

Now only to see fun ridings like Mulcair's

 

[Tabris]

75!!!

[nullref]

Goodale keeps Regain-Wascana. Totally unsurprising, but good. Now I just want to see where my riding (Regina-Lewvan) goes.

 

[Coldnoodle]

 

[Saige]

Why do people keep saying this

I have zero faith the “natural governing party” will do anything but a half assed Australian style electoral reform if they get a majority. Despite what they say I don’t believe they have changed all that much.

And I voted for them (not much choice in my riding).

I usually feel you have a really nuanced point of view, but this is hyperbole to me.

 

[dragonfart28]

Andrew Coyne that TRAITOR hahahaha

 

[firehawk12]

I think if Layton hadn't passed this would be the NDP's night. Oh well.

This is how I feel right now. What a shitty time to be an NDP supporter.

 

[Lebon14]

Denis lebel is already leading nooooon

Friend... I have the same feels.

 

[oneils]

Cool. I did not see it headed this way. At the beginning I was thinking it might be a conservative minority.

smile because Harper is gone, grit your teeth because the Liberals are somehow even worse on transfers

I think you are exaggerating that so-called erosion (not sure it has much effect on the life of the average Canadian), but I agree with you to some extent about turning a page. Whether that meant Harper had to be sent packing is an entirely different discussion.

It will be interesting to see if the Liberals will be able to deliver on their lofty promises.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Conservatives starting to get some steam now.

 

[MeBecomingI]

GO GO LIBERALS!

 

[Sean C]

Thomas Mulcair was losing his riding with 3 polls (which seem to have had about 40 votes between them; how small were those polling stations?).

 

[Luigi87]

I think if Layton hadn't passed this would be the NDP's night. Oh well.

I do fully believe this.

I miss Layton.

"Way ahead of you"

Please don't lump those of us who wanted Harper out with the rest of the Prairies.

 

[Walpurgis]

prairies going to show why they should just be given to texas and forgotten about

Rural prairies* and I agree.

 

[sindbadthesailor]

CTV declaring the Conservatives as the official opposition.

Mulcair is done.

 

[Yawnier]

I think if Layton hadn't passed this would be the NDP's night. Oh well.

Yep.
