Voted a half hour ago or so. I'm now eating a bacon and egg sandwich and listening to Jesse brown interview Steve Paikin on CANADALAND.

Can't wait until this whole thing kicks off on Cbc, later.

 

[Joeku]

Just voted, picked up my alcohol for the night, and my friend is coming over to play the last episode of Life is Strange with me before we watch this country change for the better.

Gonna be a good night. Fingers crossed.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Are you guys seeing all these report of pre-marked (conservative) ballots? Vancouver, Kitchener, Peterborough, Nova Scotia...yeesh.

advance pollings had this issues too

apparently it is a printing error

 

[jstripes]

T-minus 60 to first polls closing in Newfoundland.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, how convenient tho.

 

[gutter_trash]

Watching local news. Lots of cluster fucks in many ridings.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Ballots are hand counted in front of scrutineers from each party. Shouldn't be an issue.

Most of my extended family in Newfoundland hate Harper and most of them are pretty big liberal supporters

We'll see what happens.

Ca me fesait pensé à la version française de WCW Nirtro sur RDS dans le temps.

Trop drôle

Oh man I am so excited. I voted today. Was pretty painless.

First time I've ever voted.

Are there many Newfoundlanders who don't hate Harper?

 

[Grenchel]

Just got back from voting.

feels good man

 

[Tabris]

Not going to happen any time in the near future unless oil prices go up.

That Infrastructure spend economic cycle upturn will most likely happen pretty quickly. Probably over a year we'll start seeing significant difference. They have to act fast while interest rates are still low.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Sister just turned 18 and voted for the first time. Always appreciated how my parents were never "whatever" when it came to voting.

 

[MyAbsolution]

Voted Took 20 minutes.

Im fairly certain my riding will go Tory (over 60%) and once again my vote is cast to the wind. But damnit, ya gotta vote if you wanna see some change.

 

[Yawnier]

Not many that I encountered when I was there this summer.

Gerry Byrne is pretty popular on the west coast of the rock though he is retiring.

 

[WEGGLES]

Voted, took no time at all. The poll station is in my building lobby and there wasn't even a line.


Now to sit back and see what happens.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Just voted a bit ago! Truly exciting for this election of all elections to be my first to vote in.

 

[Impeccable]

So glad to see a bunch of first time voters. Don't care who you are voting for but it's cool to see people doing it!

 

[FreeQuebec86]

Me too it was pretty fast, but it was 13h.

I hope the people will vote:O for real.

I really don't think it would be enough to bring the dollar to parity.

 

[Goldenroad]

Leaving half an hour early from work to go vote. Hopefully the lines aren't too insane (Regina/Wascana riding).

 

[Tabris]

I really don't think it would be enough to bring the dollar to parity.

Well we'll see but most likely no, we would need America's economy to take a downturn which won't happen unless a Republican gets elected that'll fuck up the economy. But getting back into the 80s and potentially 90s is definitely a good possibility.

I would be fine with $65 games. These $75 dollar game prices are insane.

 

[Black Republican]

Looks like the whole taxes will rise scare ain't working

Gutter_trash t'es québecois ?

Putain j'suis choqué

 

[Kurdel]

Just voted in Montmagny, even if it's a guaranteed Con win.

 

[Tabris]

So my riding closes at 7pm PST, does that mean we'll start getting results from east coast in 30 minutes? How long does it take to usually start getting results? I got the CBC.ca election website open right now refreshing.

CBC sounding like they'll have results rolling in before polls even close in BC

 

[Dunlop]

Wow first time I have ever voted and there was no lineup at all

 

[Yawnier]

I wonder if Tom Muclair's newfie comment from like, 20 years ago, will negatively affect the NDP vote in newfoundland. Especially among the older crowd.

Though Jack Harris is a shoe-in for them.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

So I went and voted after all.

#fuckHarper
#getmoney

 

[WEGGLES]

No blackouts. There will be atlantic results made public while polls are open in BC.

 

[killer rin]

Well, looks like Peter Mansbridge has started his show

I'm getting excited!

There are some who think that low interest rates are just a thing now. Also, people seem to assume that you can't go below 0, but you can, and some European countries have.

Not that I'm one to be predicting interest rates.

 

[firehawk12]

Why am I watching this pre-game shit... it's so boring. lol

 

[Morrigan Stark]

That's the woman in my riding lol Laurier-Sainte marie ftw !

Yup same here.

I voted for her

Oh really? Gods I had no idea you would do that.

 

[Divvy]

Guys, I don't think the CBC panel has quite enough prime minister faces

 

[Mimosa97]

J'suis au Québec que depuis quelques années donc les références politiques du genre je capte rien

J'imagine que ça va être la fête chez toi si les libéraux l'emportent vu le lobbying que tu fais ici depuis un an ?

 

[Lebon14]

That sounds reasonable.

Is it just for oaths? What happens for something like a driver's license?

Apparently only 2 in 686K wore a niqab for oathtaking. How did this become a big thing?

Blame us, Quebec. The niqab issue is the only reason why the NDP took such a plunge and why it's an issue to begin with. Very few of us saw through and told ourselves "This should NOT have been an immediate issue!" Everybody that I talked to, with a little good judgement, agreed with me.

Speak in English coz it contradicts GAF's rules. (Not because I don't understand you, just warning you (and gutter too)).

Yeah but oil has stabilized at the current low prices. There's nothing that's going to drive our economy lower and our low dollar is currently increasing our exports as well as US companies opening offices in our major cities. Cities like Vancouver are seeing GDP growth of 3.5%+. It's just up from here unless something drastically happens in the global stage, and if it does, we'll still most likely benefit from it as we won't get hit as hard due to our regulation.

The next big market crash will come between Chinese and US shadow banking. China is trying to do everything it can to fight it. The US isn't yet but the US is nowhere close to the critical mass China is with shadow banking.

 

[Ricker]

I wonder how early they will call it and what I think will be a minority goverment...

 

[UberTag]

Some battleground races I'll be watching closely when the results from the Maritimes (outside of the Newfoundland/Labrador blowouts) start rolling in at 7:30pm Eastern...

- Central Nova
- New Brunswick Southwest
- Saint John--Rothesay
- Tobique--Mactaquac

Of the four, the one I'm most interested in might be New Brunswick Southwest where John Williamson is the established incumbent for the Conservatives. He should hold serve... but if he doesn't... oh boy.

 

[gutter_trash]

CBC live is on. Peter Mansbridge in the house

 

[Tabris]

Man I really hope Harper isn't an asshole and just resigns.

I have a feeling he'll try to drag it out to get Liberal MPs over to his party.

 

[Divvy]

If the CBC is so broke, how can they afford so many LCD screens???
