Hahaha.
Oh dear
when the Liberals were down in 3rd place at the start of the campaign, I told Canada GAF that Justin Trudeau would be out next Prime Minister.
I was laughed at by the NDP intelligentsia
then when things started to turn, Canada GAF said "gutter is gonna make us Eat Crow"
and today... is that day
Come on, time to fess up. You're a time traveller, aren't you?
pls no. ;_;
Yeah, I don't think the NDP are done at all.

And yet they already broke 100 seats. The clean sweep of the Maritimes secured this for them.

But this does NOT affect the life of the average Joe Six Pack. That's my point. This is internet overreaction.
Was never going to happen with their support in the prairies.

I know it's a conservative channel in the same vein as Fox news. I was just surprised to see that one guy basically call Trudeau an idiot and the rest of Canadians dumb for electing him as PM.
This is what happens when Canadians take strategic voting seriously.
the Liberal win is amazing. That NDP crash though.
It's weird, I remember feeling similar in 2011. Harper won majority, but I remember being so happy that NDP won so many seats. Prime Minister Layton in 2015 is what had me dancing.
I think Layton would have made a great PM. May he R.I.P

They also were running against the worst Liberal leader in modern history.
Now the Liberals are back to "Canada's natural governing party" status, with a Trudeau at the helm no less. There's no way the NDP come back from this.

Still kinda concerned (via CBC's map) but i'll keep teh faith..
I think Paul Dewar might lose Ottawa Centre too. Catherine McKenna ran a good campaign.
From 3rd place to majority, let's go!

The Liberals are against the idea.

Definitely life-death situation for the NDP right now. They really need to make the right choices going forward. I knew those Quebec seats would be flimsy. that's why I was sad when the new NDP was concentrating so hard on Quebec and not on their loyal seats like Hamilton, Winnipeg, Vancouver etc.

As an Aussie, who are the people who are analogous to figures in Australian politics from Canadian politics.
All I know is that the Canadian equivalent of Tony Abbott is Harper? (I think) and that he's in the process of being ousted. Are the liberals essentially the same as the labor party over here?
