This Chantelle person on cbc seems angry.

Also that Rex guy seems crazy.

Chantal Hebert is always like that. She's just serious because she's Quebecois. lol

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.

Maybe I'm being overly emotional, but Layton was basically my Obama. 2011 was a high point for me and I thought Canada would change. 4 years later, I realize I would have been better off hoping I could ride a unicorn into Rivendale.

 

[Pandaman]

Yeah, I don't really want to see the NDP crushed.

has to happen, can't risk the split vote fucking us and giving harper a minority. one side always has to get screwed, NDP had the last attempt.

 

[Sean C]

The results for the Liberal incumbents in Atlantic Canada are fucking insane. Like 15-20,000 votes against opponents with 3-5000.

 

[Silexx]

Oh hey, Jay Baruchel!

 

[gutter_trash]

Please NDP, don't collapse in Quebec.

please lose in Outremont

 

[ibyea]

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.

That's really unfortunate because there were a lot of preventable stuff.

 

[Walpurgis]

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.

I know the feeling. These are sad times but at least Harper's on his way out.

I'm going to watch Harper's concession speech. Waiting to see that smug sucker's grin wiped off his face

When is this?

He's barely containing his excitement about the red wave.

Again, not complaining, but it is very obvious. And I have no idea how anyone can construe the CBC as ever having a conservative bias.

I didn't really appreciate them keeping the niqab issue alive by constantly talking about it for several weeks. I just figured they were trying to be "balanced" even though it was clearly an incredibly stupid issue.

 

[Mr.Sumal]

Did he actually say that? Wtf

it was an ndp candidate running in joe oliver's riding that said that

 

[elty]

please lose in Outremont

That I care less. Regardless of what happen in Outremont Muclair is going.

 

[Sibylus]

Voted Liberal in Kelowna. Stop Harper.

Same story in Kelowna, albeit I voted in an advance vote.

 

[Stet]

This is a weird and uncomfortable trailer for the election on CBC. It's not a hockey game.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Did he actually say that? Wtf

Andrew Thomson (NDP candidate in Eglinton-Lawrence) said this morning the NDP would work with any party, including the Conservatives, to make Parliament work.

He later clarified that he meant the NDP would accept the Conservatives' support in an NDP-led minority, but I don't think anyone bought it.

 

[Samyy]

He backpedaled on it too

 

[Yawnier]

Decent number of votes for green party in Fredericton.

Probably all the university students up there

 

[Fuzzy]

Is it time for me to come back to the coverage from the Jays game?

 

[Mr.Sumal]

please lose in Outremont

with how Atlantic Canada went, it might be a good chance he will.

She will be vary happy. She's always loved the Liberals. Is she still part of the Trudeau foundation?

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Did he actually say that? Wtf

That quote was taken wildly out of context. What he was saying was if a minority government is formed, the NDP will work with whatever party to make minority government work.

I'm kinda sad they killed the live chat on that.
It was surreal to see VOTE OR RIOT ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ like it was a friggin LOL Twitch stream.

As someone who got high on Obama I know the feels man.

I still want the left to merge. It's the only way the NDP can salvage anything from this fucking disaster.

I don't care if the NDP name has to die for it to happen, because I think I'm done.

[shamanick]

Same here. Even though I've traditionally been conservative, I want to see Harper gone. On the other hand, I don't want my government wasting a single cent on anything related to marijuana. Ever.

Yeah the split vote in first past the post system is terrible.

this ain't HNIC

 

[dragonfart28]

As much as I like the result so far, we really should NOT be releasing results until everyone has voted.

 

[XOMTOR]

They wouldn't. Marijuana would bring in revenue for the government. See Colorado and Washington State

Perhaps but inefficiency of our government will ensure that it'll take decades to recoup the initial spending. No way it'll be a cheap endeavor.

 

[Silexx]

Atlantic Canada officially least racist part of Canada.

 

[Walpurgis]

Shit. Why couldn't the other half be NDP?

Well, I think the other half is mostly Liberal with 2? NDP seats. My riding could be NDP but with the Liberal's rising popularity, I'm expecting a vote split to lead to the only CPC riding in the city. My dad's riding is a solid NDP with that dick MP Pat Martin. NDP doesn't have much to look forward to in Manitoba.

 

[Mailbox]

has this kinda uniformity ever happened in Atlantic Canada before?

 

[Sean C]

Jason Kenney saying that the Tories "did a lot for Atlantic Canada". Ha ha.

 

[Sch1sm]

Is it time for me to come back to the coverage from the Jays game?

Come back in 25 minutes when Ontario and Quebec are in question.

Spoiler

what's the score for the game, anyway?

 

[Razorskin]

this ain't HNIC

HELLO POLITICS FANS FROM THE UNITED STATES AND NEWFOUNDLAND

 

[matthewwhatever]

Is it time for me to come back to the coverage from the Jays game?

Half an hour!

She will be vary happy. She's always loved the Liberals. Is she still part of the Trudeau foundation?

What? She's always been pretty impartial. I couldn't stand listening to her a few years ago when she was talking doom and gloom about the Dion Liberals, so I know for a fact she doesn't support one party or another.

 

[KarmaCow]

This is a weird and uncomfortable trailer for the election on CBC. It's not a hockey game.

It's weird that they got Jay Baruchel of all people to narrate it, he has the worst kind of voice for that kind of thing.

 

[oneils]

Same here. Even though I've traditionally been conservative, I want to see Harper gone. On the other hand, I don't want my government wasting a single cent on anything related to marijuana. Ever.

That's good. Liberal government won't waste money on it, they will make money!

 

[UberTag]

has this kinda uniformity ever happened in Atlantic Canada before?

Only once before in 1993... and even then the Conservatives had one riding (Elsie Wayne in Saint John). That was one of their 2 seats nationwide.

 

[Amaryllis]

When is this?

Soon haha. Already ordering a cake

 

[sindbadthesailor]

Would be incredible if Jason Kenney lost.

Won't happen but one can dream.

 

[Silver Arrows]

HELLO POLITICS FANS FROM THE UNITED STATES AND NEWFOUNDLAND

haha that's pretty good actually

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

That is true. If I hadn't voted yet, I'd be tripping over people to vote NDP to block that Lib majority.

 

[Yawnier]

Jason Kenney saying that the Tories "did a lot for Atlantic Canada". Ha ha.

Hilarious

 

[Sean C]

has this kinda uniformity ever happened in Atlantic Canada before?

No. The Liberals won 31 of 32 in 1993 (Elsie Wayne in Saint John for the PCs being the only exception), but that was because of vote-splitting between the PCs and Reform Party. Here the Liberals are just winning outright.

 

[Socreges]

Oh hey, Jay Baruchel!

My first reaction - 'I didn't realize Christian Slater was Canadian'

 

[gutter_trash]

I will be happy to contribute to my country by buying weed legally and having its taxes fund stuff

 

[Stet]

It's weird that they got Jay Baruchel of all people to narrate it, he has the worst kind of voice for that kind of thing.

Should've gotten Donald Sutherland...oh wait.

Here's a look into your fiscal future.
