They won't be spending man they'd be earning.
That coalition would have included the Bloc, and the fact a separatist party was needed gave Harper what he needed for it to be shot down.
Also that was under Stephane Dion, who was ousted in favour for Michael Ignatieff who would lead the LPC to a horrific defeat in 2011. Ignatieff also lost his seat, Dion actually kept his.
Took me an hour but I was finally able to vote. No one in line but I had a complicated residency but it all got sorted in the end. Really disappointing seeing the NDP taking a beating now. After the BC ndp dropping the ball and now this, I am feeling pretty dejected. If Harper is out I wouldnt be as mad but I am still kind of pissed.

It's a real shame that in our zeal to get rid of Harper, we lost some good NDP candidates.
Let's remember this and move to PR asap.

Yes, it even happens in countries where there are three or more coalition members. It's always the "larger" partner that takes all the credit.
Omg thank you

You will be fine either way. The conservative candidate will only ever get about 20% of the vote in Ottawa centre. Conservatives cannot win this riding, so feel free to vote your conscience!
Marijuana will bring in a lot of money. It wouldn't be a waste of money to legalise it.
If you look at Colorado or Washington, marijuana makes cents. Free market, right?

Well, I want all drugs to be legal, but I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that. lol
Harper went in HARD about how it would be "undemocratic".

Will they hold any seats outside of Calgary, Edmonton and farmland though?

St. John's East: 126 of 188, Libs up by 692.
I think they're going to pull it off.
Wow.
Liberals have a good shot at a few Calgary seats. NDP may win some Edmonton seats, though at this rate...I'm not betting on any NDP seats right now.

That's over-dramatic, I think.
If things going really bad for them in Quebec, then maybe we can start wondering if they're in trouble. But people were writing off the Liberals right around this time in 2011.
Edit: Hey, Anne McLellan's on CTV. Been years since I've seen her. It's too bad she didn't speak French, because I think she would have been a good leader.
They wouldn't. Marijuana would bring in revenue for the government. See Colorado and Washington State
Yeah, I don't really want to see the NDP crushed.

You also needed the Bloc to make that coalition work. Bad optics.

Basically. Both sides were too proud after the Dion attempt failed, and now it looks like the Liberals have no reason to even bother talking to any NDP MPs.

I just realized what Wells meant. Disregard my previous statement. How does it line up with what Nanos was saying?

I still have a few hours. I usually try to wait for the results on election night. Besides, if not, there's always tomorrow.

This O'Reagan guy seems pretty cool, happy for him. Obviously the pure red isn't going to last much longer, but its fun while it lasts.

Shit. Why couldn't the other half be NDP?
Gotta keep in mind barriers for ridings in Scarborough changed. Mine has been Liberal it's entire existence, and my bet is with the change, and with the big push on strategic voting, we may see significant change in those Conservative ridings like Scarborough Centre.
Believe.
It means more funding for CBC, so of course he's happy.

Very close race, amazing!
53% for the LPC in Atlantic.

Oh yeah, the Conservatives are going to take hits there, too. Unquestionably.
Are you new to Canada? That's Chantal Hebert, a major journalist, and Rex Murphy, who has been a Canadian staple for like three decades.
lmao!

Wow if true. Won't even need to hear from Albertans/BCers if Liberals win Quebec.
Edit: whoops wrong post. Meant to quote the person who talked about that Quebec Island signalling the Orange crush last election.
Yeah, it's coming from the site. Freaks me out a bit.
If you're on the actual cbc page is the widget on the bottom left, it has options for sounds in a drop down menu
Did he actually say that? Wtf

I can't seem to get the CBC streams to work..
Anyone have a link to a stream? Any good stream really.

So they're beating Nanos? That might be more interesting.
The Conservatives have knocked the Liberals for having a young leader who wants to run a deficit the first three years (the Liberals say it's the best time to invest in infrastructure/economy/etc. due to low interest rates).
Liberals want to legalize marijuana, propose a voting system reform (hopefully they still do if they get a majority), increase the taxes for the richest 1% and other stuff they've been campaining on.
