Support NeoGAF

[elty]

Liberal is not doing as well as projected in Ontario.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Disrepair.

Take Care.

Mulcair.

Hahaha.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Disrepair.

Take Care.

Mulcair.

Oh dear

 

[BY2K]

Conservative kinda catching up...

 

[Windam]

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

Come on, time to fess up. You're a time traveller, aren't you?

 

[Darksol]

Bam!

 

[Ricker]

Montreal is all red for now...

 

[squidyj]

prairies going to show why they should just be given to texas and forgotten about

pls no. ;_;

 

[shadowkat]

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.

Yeah, I don't think the NDP are done at all.

 

[Dr Campino]

My pint will be filled with bitter tears. lol

I'll check their menu, but those might be on there!

Awesome. Grats, man.

Cmon Markham..

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Liberal is not doing as well as projected in Ontario.

And yet they already broke 100 seats. The clean sweep of the Maritimes secured this for them.

 

[massivekettle]

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.

But this does NOT affect the life of the average Joe Six Pack. That's my point. This is internet overreaction.

 

[Razorskin]

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

Was never going to happen with their support in the prairies.

 

[sindbadthesailor]

Liberals: 116
Conservatives: 67
NDP: 13
BQ: 2
Green Party: 0
Other: 0

As per CTV

 

[Epsilon-delta]

LOL amazing.

I know it's a conservative channel in the same vein as Fox news. I was just surprised to see that one guy basically call Trudeau an idiot and the rest of Canadians dumb for electing him as PM.

 

[whitehawk]

They had 29 seats in 2006.

This is what happens when Canadians take strategic voting seriously.

 

[Kinsei]

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.

I think Layton would have made a great PM. May he R.I.P

 

[Emperor Bohe]

 

[sikkinixx]

Cons have 3% more votes than NDP, but 4x the seats. FPTP smh

 

[Mailbox]

cbc

We hit the 100 threshold

 

[Sinistral]

Wow NDP....

 

[firehawk12]

They had 29 seats in 2006.

They also were running against the worst Liberal leader in modern history.

Now the Liberals are back to "Canada's natural governing party" status, with a Trudeau at the helm no less. There's no way the NDP come back from this.

 

[Kifimbo]

I think they should call a majority now, unless a huge chuck of Alberta and SK is missing.

108 >> 67+14+2.

Majority.

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Npd getting stomped in Quebec

 

[UberTag]

Liberals have been declared elected in Gaspésie--Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
St. John's East and Fundy Royal remain undeclared in the Maritimes.

 

[lamaroo]

Ugh, vote count isn't much different between Cons and NDP, but look at the difference in seats

 

[SRG01]

Aren't there a bunch of Ontario seats not reporting yet?

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Still kinda concerned (via CBC's map) but i'll keep teh faith..

 

[erpg]

I think Paul Dewar might lose Ottawa Centre too. Catherine McKenna ran a good campaign.

From 3rd place to majority, let's go!

[crazyrabbits]

118 Liberal

This train stops for nothing.

108 >> 67+14+2.

Majority.

A lot of rural ridings have yet to report, and BC. Will be close...

 

[BorkBork]

Holy shit, up to 117 now. Wow.

 

[Pedrito]

I can't be 100% happy with the NDP being obliterated :I
At least Harper is out, that's all that matter.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Whoa the QC map colors keeps flicking.

 

[Naite]

Dammit Alberta.

That wall of blue in the prairies is really upsetting.

 

[GreyWind]

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

The Liberals are against the idea.

 

[Dr.Acula]

The NDP will never be seen as the alternative to the Liberals, they were the alternative to the Tories. If they can't rise to power out of a Tory failure, they'll never do it when the Liberals fall out of favour how many years from now.

The NDP is in free-fall.

 

[Tabris]

118 holy shit a majority may happen. Come on bc don't duck up

 

[_DrMario_]

People never voted for the NDP. They voted for Jack.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

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

Definitely life-death situation for the NDP right now. They really need to make the right choices going forward. I knew those Quebec seats would be flimsy. that's why I was sad when the new NDP was concentrating so hard on Quebec and not on their loyal seats like Hamilton, Winnipeg, Vancouver etc.

 

[Hierophant]

As an Aussie, who are the people who are analogous to figures in Australian politics from Canadian politics.
All I know is that the Canadian equivalent of Tony Abbott is Harper? (I think) and that he's in the process of being ousted. Are the liberals essentially the same as the labor party over here?

 

[IceIpor]

Go Toronto!!

 

[UberTag]

Southern Ontario isn't much better outside of the urban centers.

People never voted for the NDP. They voted for Jack.

That is factually correct.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

NDP is getting absolutely Destroyed

 

[Nobility]

Prime Minister Trudeau.

Harper is finally gone...

We made it.
