Gilles Duceppe defeated in Laurier-Ste-Marie........ again

 

[matthewwhatever]

In terms of seat count this is their second best seat count ever.

No, it's third, barring a sudden jump (which may well happen, since there are some pretty close seats out there). 2011 and 1988 were both more.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Ohhhhhhh

 

[wachie]

What a boring speech, yes yes. That Harper speech was better.

 

[Smiley90]

oh god Richmond Centre is still so close

liberals up by just 250 votes with 105/177 reported

WE NEED A LEFT-WING SWEEP DON'T DO THIS TO ME RICHMOND

 

[FistOfSyn]

This is the kind of shit we need to ear, not Harper's blatant racism.

I'm still ashamed from the muslim and hijab hate from where I live. Good thing our PM isn't like this anymore.

 

[firehawk12]

Side note: this actually might be the NDP's third best election performance ever. 2011 and Broadbent's last election.

I mention that to say that although obviously the Orange Crush was wiped out, it'd be interesting to interpret what's actually going on. It seems to me that basically everything the NDP "loaned" from the Liberals in 2008 or the Liberals or Bloc in 2011 reverted back, but what they're left with is just about where they were before, or a little more. Maybe a bit diluted because of the rise in raw seat count, naturally. At 35+ seats, they're still stronger than they were under McLaughlin or McDonough or even most of Layton's time as leader or even under Douglas. I guess it depends how you read the "dillution" as being significant or not.

Edit: I see I'm not the first to note this.

Yes, this is the glass half full outlook that I just don't believe in.

 

[Lion Heart]

This man gets it. A better future awaits, fuck your face Harper.

Can't believe the guy had 9 years.

[Yawnier]

This is sweet.

Sad to see her go. Hopefully she runs again

 

[Onion_Relish]

This speech keeps getting better, making me a bit misty. My Prime Minister T_T

 

[Mimosa97]

These last comments are global impacting. I hope media around the world highlight this!

Sharia law in Canada confirmed.

Oh man conservatives all over Canada must be seething atm lol

 

[Shinypogs]

NDP stop stealing the liberal's seats, steal the conservatives seats. Though I am happy to see them creeping up in the count.

This speech is both amazing and terrible at the same time.

 

[theignoramus]

Damn. Putting Harper's race baiting on blast. Perfect.

 

[Mr.Sumal]

A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian will always be his best debate performance

 

[mo60]

No, it's third, barring a sudden jump (which may well happen, since there are some pretty close seats out there). 2011 and 1988 were both more.

Just recognized that.

 

[Merguson]

Bloc supporters getting impatient with how long Trudeau's speech is going on...it's preventing Duceppe from taking the stage #elxn42

On second thought, keep talking.

To the NDP!!

 

[Razorskin]

Trudeau is filibustering my sleep.

 

[Tabris]

That speech was amazing after the thanks.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

On second thought, keep talking.

Heh heh heh

 

[Fuzzy]

I need to get up in a little over 4 hours from now.

 

[Smiley90]

On second thought, keep talking.

LOL

all these Harper burns at the end though, love it

 

[TheRealTalker]

yeah I can sleep now

 

[SilentMatthew]

Aight, it's finally over. TIme to sleep.

 

[Kinsei]

Sad to see her go. Hopefully she runs again

I hope so. With Harper gone I think she'd be elected again.

 

[Yawnier]

On second thought, keep talking.

Hahahahahaha

 

[Kinitari]

Trudeau is filibustering my sleep.

Fuck, I laughed.

 

[Apathy]

Funny how the winner talks for a long time. Geeze what did you people expect?

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Man his speech was really picking up and THEN he stops! Oh well, at least the Conservatives must be seething through their teeth mwahahaha.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Conservatives possibly less than 100?

 

[matthewwhatever]

And with that, I'm out. Good night to all of Canadian PoliGAF - it's been awesome sharing these last 78 days with you all. We can talk about the new thread tomorrow? I'd be happy to put something together, if no one has any objections!

 

[RC]

Jeez Burnaby-South is close. Just around 400 votes seperate the Liberals and NDP.

The NDP has held that riding ever since I lived here. So about 13 years.

 

[jokkir]

CPC down to 100

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Trudeau :')


I always knew that man was destined to be Prime Minister

 

[UberTag]

Man his speech was really picking up and THEN he stops! Oh well, at least the Conservatives must be seething through their teeth mwahahaha.

I'd say his speech was largely representative of his campaign performance.
Started off slow and then kept building steam.

 

[wachie]

Guys, I'm locking my video game prices by pre-ordering every listed game. I suggest you do the same, the liberals are going to raise the prices specifically on video games!

Yeah, I think a new thread in OT Community would be appropriate now. We'd need a new tagline though.

 

[Mysterious]

If we had proportional voting, we would probably have a Conservative minority today.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Great speech. Epitomized change. And what being a Canadian means. I'm glad he won a majority

 

[Apathy]

Trudeau :')


I always knew that man was destined to be Prime Minister

Richard Nixon called it

 

[Coldnoodle]

VIRTUAL PORN

 

[Indicate]

cons lost 1

 

[DopeyFish]

If we had proportional voting, we would probably have a Conservative minority today.

... but the liberals won the popular vote

it would have been a liberal minority

and it would almost guarantee no party ever has complete control and it would ensure progressive legislation

 

[UberTag]

Votes in 30 ridings still being counted.

At the end of the night we're still probably going to have a nation where 5 million people voted for more of Stephen Harper's ideals and policies. That's quite troubling.

 

[AuthenticM]

Canada PoliGaf |OT| He's Ready

 

[Perfect Blue]

AMAZING NIGHT

 

[Tabris]

Hahaha, there's our conservative, I was wondering where he was at

 

[Azzanadra]

Was the Liberal Majority worth the annihilation of the NDP?

 

[Apathy]

I would love to see them bring back giving money to parties per vote
