This needs to be shopped with the official numbers at the end of the night.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

We did it friends

 

[D'@rtagnan]

In truly good news: Pierre Poilievre currently losing (Carleton is the riding name if you want to check)

Poilievre is a genuine party hack, a poor MP, and totally unscrupulous. Anyone, regardless of political partisanship, should be glad to have him gone. Good riddance to bad rubbish. A toxic presence in the House. Hacks exist in other parties too, of course, and they should be tossed as well.

+1

 

[mo60]

I predict that the liberals will now get 180+ seats.This election will be their highest seat count ever.

 

[AuthenticM]

holy shit it's so close between Duceppe and Laverdière. I want Duceppe to win.

 

[orochi91]

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS HOKAGE

TRUTH

 

[whitehawk]

170!!!

Omg

 

[Mighty Chin]

hell yeah, let's emphatically cheer trading one-party rule for one-party rule slightly further to the left

Slightly?

 

[Sean C]

Justin Trudeau declared elected in Papineau.

Now leading or elected in 170.

 

[AzureSkies]

HE'S READY

BRING ON THE HAIR

 

[IceIpor]

Can someone please tell me what the pros of a majority are

Bills and laws can be passed without interference from the other parties. Which is both good and bad. See Harper government.

 

[Coldnoodle]

One vote away.

 

[DopeyFish]

Can someone please tell me what the pros of a majority are

The lead party could do whatever the hell it wants, basically

But the big con is if they go crazy there is nothing to keep them in check

 

[windz]

Regina-Lewvan results coming in. Fucking vote split.

Yep =(.......sigh. Blahrhg.

 

[Yawnier]

Nathan Cullen leading his riding.

If he could just learn French...

I wonder if he will be the next NDP leader.

 

[sindbadthesailor]

170!

 

[Kinitari]

Leading 170 and we aren't even looking at all seats.

 

[Fou-Lu]

*sigh* My riding is still going conservative. Well at least most of Canada has the right idea.

 

[elty]

170!!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Can someone please tell me what the pros of a majority are

For one: capacity to pass politically unpopular but necessary measures in the short term without losing in the house or having to play electoral brinksmanship.

For two: ability to make longer term, 4-year plans.

Of course both of these are possible with formal coalition agreements too

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Sweet Baby Jesus

 

[crazyrabbits]

there it is

 

[eBay Huckster]

Slightly?

assuming the Liberals follow their 1993-2006 governing pattern, yes

 

[Ricker]

Mario Beaulieu is winning. People PLEASE. You can vote BQ but not for that guy.

Looks like the NDP votes from last election decided to go BQ au lieu de Liberal...only riding on the island so far...

EDIT: and Liberal are ahead now lol.

 

[HanzSnubSnub]

Liberal majority! Trudeau!

 

[vinnygambini]

173 liberals

 

[Vibranium]

Well, there we go. Mulcair's going to be out the door.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Brad Lavigne on CBC trying to spin this as a win for the NDP. So long, you hack.

 

[firehawk12]

Can someone please tell me what the pros of a majority are

Absolutely no fucking accountability and the ability to do whatever they want.

 

[Windam]

BUT HE'S JUST NOT READY

 

[Tubie]

I can't wait for John Oliver next Sunday.

Grats CanadaGAF, it looks like you finally got rid of Harper!

 

[3N16MA]

There it is.

 

[eBay Huckster]

speaking of 1993-2006 governing patterns: Duceppe is currently behind by exactly one vote.

 

[SRG01]

Oh God, Kerry Diotte is leading the Edmonton-Griesbach seat by 130ish votes. WHY

 

[crazyrabbits]

This is glorious. Bob Dechert and Wladyslaw Lizon have been knocked out, my boy Fonseca's back in and it's a red wave.

 

[yyzjohn]

Can someone please tell me what the pros of a majority are

Members of parliament vote on laws to be passed. Generally members of the party vote the same way so it's easier to get stuff done when you have a majority in the house.

 

[Dr.Acula]

This is the death knell for fixed election dates.

 

[anaron]

Star Wars


harper gone


this day is INSANE

 

[Sch1sm]

I COULD CRY.

 

[ibyea]

Liberals crossed 170 line. It's over.

 

[Mighty Chin]

assuming the Liberals follow their 1993-2006 governing pattern, yes

I don't think you understand how far right the Cons have moved in the last decade.

 

[Mailbox]

I am suddenly very scared at this majority

 

[Tabris]

Majority numbers now!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

This is probably Trudeau right now

 

[matthewwhatever]

Call it CBC!

 

[AuthenticM]

We have a liberal majority.

Congratulations, Canada.

 

[djkimothy]

Damn those Bloc numbers, keep going up. :/

 

[firehawk12]

Shut up NDP guy. JUST SHUT UP AND COMMIT SUDOKU.

 

[Ledhead]

where is gutter and his crow!?

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I'm glad the Ford brothers signed the death certificate.
