And my condolences to all fools watching CTV instead of CBC, my god, their coverage is terrible with their shitty touchscreen and 5 demo bullshit.

Even the commentators on CBC Radio are shocked. This is so exciting! I love following free elections.

As an ignorant American, would it be fair to generalize the seeming Conservative failure in this election as largely tied to OPEC flooding the market and fucking the oil business that so many Canadians depend on?

I did not think I was voting in a swing riding this evening (St. Johns East). I voted Jack Harris cause I like the guy and I didn't think I was costing Trudeau a victory lol

So guys, if mine comes down to 2 (for my wife too), you can blame us.

Harris is an extremely good MP and a bright guy. No one thought he'd lose, he's extremely popular int he riding. Him losing would just be a symptom of a national wave, not an indictment of Harris. That's if he loses.

We can't let it go though. There needs to be a major focus on this by the public if LPC gets a majority.
The Liberals are known for backing out of promises that don't work in their favour.

I expect nothing to change about TPP either, even though it has all these shitty IP protection laws like making it illegal to jailbreak devices and extending copyright to works to follow the American law of death+70 years.
 
Everything but the Atlantic is still voting; time zone differences make it so that results come in gradually from East to West.

CBC, Elections Canada, CTV -- they all have the closed polls' results up now. It's only Atlantic Canada so far.

Is the information available somewhere on the Radio-Canada page? I'm using this one: http://ici.radio-canada.ca/resultats-elections-canada-2015

edit: oh wow. Viewing this page in Safari is quite different from in Chrome. Weird. I don't even get the map with Safari.

That page should have it. If you're desperate, there's also Elections Canada.

Over-reliance on oil, muzzling scientists, race-baiting, mismanging pretty much everything...take your pick.

Pretty much what happened to a lot of Liberals in 2011.

I think this really means that the NDP are going to become irrelevant soon, unless they can pull something out of their ass in Quebec.
1st term Obama may have.... been more naive, but at least he got some shit done.
So, how about Guantanamo Bay? He sure shut that down!

First term Obama had a congress that would work with him. Second term didn't. If you could put second term Obama in first term Obama's place, that would have been great.

Anyway, go Canada! It's looking good for you!

Yeah. I'd still prefer an LPC majority over a CPC majority but...

My riding had 31.2 LPC vs 31.0 NDP vs 25 something for Bloc and below 10 for CPC.

I voted NDP in hope we get a minority because I want that reform.

Did anyone notice when Mansbridge was talking to that lady and said "There will be no MPs from the opposition in Atlantic Canada" all dramatically. The woman replied and said "The senators" and started snickering. "Mike Duffy" *more snickers*

LMAO
