Support NeoGAF

[firehawk12]

I think you are exaggerating that erosion, but I agree with you about turning a page. Whether that meant Harper had to be sent packing is an entirely different discussion.

It will be interesting to see if the Liberals will be able to deliver on their lofty promises.

Liberal playbook 101 - run on the left, govern in the center.

 

[Tabris]

85!!! Damn I'm loving it

 

[Vibranium]

Evil Justin is going to make his return.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I really didn't like Harper...

Me neither, but the Liberals still support Bill-C51 and the TPP so... eh.

 

[Sch1sm]

Next thread title may as well be, "kittens don't sway us."

 

[squidyj]

Yo, as an American watching the Rebel Election youtube channel, this fool is going in on Trudeau.

Ezra Levant.
.....yep.

 

[BY2K]

NDP is getting slaughtered. There's no way Mulcair doesn't leave after tonight.

 

[FreeQuebec86]

Pfff i knew it

Once again !!! https://youtu.be/8cF2Xnde1aw haha Trudeau 4:20

Harper will "die" tonight ( resign ). Maybe Duceppe too... ( i love him xD )

I didnt predict mulcair "death", but he was soooooo much bleeding xD

 

[GreyWind]

I just died.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Canadian Political Thread 2016 - Grit your teeth and smile because Harper is gone

the Liberal win is amazing. That NDP crash though.

It's weird, I remember feeling similar in 2011. Harper won majority, but I remember being so happy that NDP won so many seats. Prime Minister Layton in 2015 is what had me dancing.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Muclair fucked his entire party over

 

[firehawk12]

CTV declaring the Conservatives as the official opposition.

Mulcair is done.

Yep, they fucking died in Quebec.

Fuck you Mulcair. Fuck you NDP. I refuse to believe in anything anymore.

 

[Stet]

As long as NDP maintains official party status, the country is fine. Find a new Layton-style leader and come back. Politics are a long game.

 

[Omzz]

Bye harper and bye mulcair

 

[gabbo]

Will the Toronto Sun just light itself in fire at this point over this?

 

[FyreWulff]

as an american who doesn't want a massive keystone pipeline built in my state, how fucked am I right now

 

[bananafactory]

NDP is getting slaughtered. There's no way Mulcair doesn't leave after tonight.

I think a lot of people saw liberals leading in the polls and voted strategically.

A shame, I kept my NDP vote.

 

[killer rin]

The stream wont load for me... whats the YouTube mirror for CBC?

 

[anaron]

I hate that my party is doing so badly but I'm too happy it looks like Harper is out.

 

[Yawnier]

NDP are gonna need a new charismatic leader. What a collapse.

 

[Apathy]

I think you are exaggerating that so-called erosion (not sure it has much effect on the life of the average Canadian), but I agree with you to some extent about turning a page. Whether that meant Harper had to be sent packing is an entirely different discussion.

It will be interesting to see if the Liberals will be able to deliver on their lofty promises.

No, you're under exaggerating it. It's been bad. From the conservatives devaluing of the environment, social services and science, the erosion is quite real and quite disgusting.

 

[lupinko]

Liberal playbook 101 - run on the left, govern in the center.

Nah we campaign from the left and govern from the right, that's how you get center after all.

 

[UberTag]

NDP is getting slaughtered. There's no way Mulcair doesn't leave after tonight.

At least they're still going to maintain official party status... hopefully.

 

[SRG01]

Wooo Nenshi on CBC!

 

[jayu26]

I hope that Aussie strategist dude conservatives brought who start all that racist rhetoric learned a lesson about Canada today.

 

[dragonfart28]

If Liberals are doing well in Quebec we may well be heading into Liberal majority territory.

 

[Dr Campino]

Yeah, I have really mixed feelings. I want Harper out, but I just saw my dreams get crushed. I'm legit sad right now.

Aw, firehawk, fellow Guelphite, I'll buy you a drink at the Wooly.

 

[Sean C]

Evil Justin is going to make his return.

I can see his henchmen scouting out the location for our new neighbourhood brothel as we type.

 

[ibyea]

Man even if Harper is out this is really not ideal.

 

[firehawk12]

As long as NDP maintains official party status, the country is fine. Find a new Layton-style leader and come back. Politics are a long game.

What possible way does the NDP come back from this? I just don't see it at all.

 

[TheRealTalker]

WOOOO best Mayor

 

[Stet]

Me neither, but the Liberals still support Bill-C51 and the TPP so... eh.

Why do people keep saying they support TPP? This has been thoroughly debunked.

 

[KnightHart]

That conservative number is concerning me

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Thomas Mulcair was losing his riding with 3 polls (which seem to have had about 40 votes between them; how small were those polling stations?).

CTV declaring the Conservatives as the official opposition.

Mulcair is done.

:/

Was kind of hoping Mulcair would stick around

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

as an american who doesn't want a massive keystone pipeline built in my state, how fucked am I right now

Liberals are against the pipeline

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Muclair fucked his entire party over

I'm both sad for the NDP but glad nobody fell for his switcheroo.

 

[gutter_trash]

What was your prediction?

when the Liberals were down in 3rd place at the start of the campaign, I told Canada GAF that Justin Trudeau would be out next Prime Minister.

I was laughed at by the NDP intelligentsia

then when things started to turn, Canada GAF said "gutter is gonna make us Eat Crow"

and today... is that day

The prairies continue to suck.

 

[Cynar]

Liberal's after FPTP gives them the majority: Why fix what isn't broken

They are winning in spite of this broken system that the Cons tried to manipulate. They almost got destroyed last election. Gotta fix the broken system and put something more representative of Canadian's wishes in place. A decade of neo con rule was too long.

 

[Walpurgis]

Yep. Disaster of a leader. Won't be sad to see him go.

He was excellent in parliament but this was just a shit campaign.

Thanks

 

[Razorskin]

Disrepair.

Take Care.

Mulcair.

 

[gabbo]

Yep, they fucking died in Quebec.

Fuck you Mulcair. Fuck you NDP. I refuse to believe in anything anymore.

That isnt the way. Believe that the NDP will return, but not with Smilin' Tom at the helm

 

[firehawk12]

Aw, firehawk, fellow Guelphite, I'll buy you a drink at the Wooly.

My pint will be filled with bitter tears. lol

That isnt the way. Believe that the NDP will return, but not with Smilin' Tom at the helm

I can't have my heart torn out like this again. I really haven't felt this bad in years.

 

[Stet]

What possible way does the NDP come back from this? I just don't see it at all.

They had 29 seats in 2006.

 

[UberTag]

That conservative number is concerning me

Don't be so concerned. This is still best case scenario.
Most of the ridings they're leading right now weren't contestable.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I was hoping for the Conservative party to be completely slaughtered this election. Not even Official Opposition status.

 

[Tabris]

Liberals broke the 100 ceiling!

 

[Vibranium]

I hate that my party is doing so badly but I'm too happy it looks like Harper is out.

I'm sad about the NDP too, but I believe they can make a comeback. They just need the right leader and hopefully a new voting system. If they run a stronger candidate against Elizabeth May next time I'll vote for them.
