They need to be the next party to follow the Liberals after they screw up.

I am convinced that this is the end of the NDP party. They had one chance and they blew it. The LPC in 2011 wasn't so bad because they still had a legacy, whereas the NDP were just beginning theres.

To me, this is like finding out that your wife is cheating on you with your best friend on the same day you lost your job and you find out that your mother has a terminal disease.

I'm never putting myself to be in a position where I can feel so emotionally devastated by a political party ever again.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

NDP HQ right now

 

[_Nemo]

Baaahahahah goodbye Harper you cunt.

 

[Mr.Mike]

Were are they so careful ? LPC has 50+ seats in fucking Quebec. They should have called this 20 minutes ago.

There's still pretty few polling stations reporting.

 

[DJ_Lae]

My Mom started crying


Oh boy

My relatives are going similarly nuts on Facebook as if this spells the end of Canada and the world as we know it.

 

[vinnygambini]

The NPD collapse is incredible. Main reason why it's gonna be a majority.

Lost 55 seats in QC only - huge loss

 

[TheRealTalker]

Holy shit, did any of y'all hear that big ass thunder? Or was it the lib rolling thunder...

well it counts were you are

we are the second biggest country in the world

 

[23qwerty]

Okanagan why you gotta disappoint me so bad

 

[Vibranium]

NDP HQ right now

The Phantom Votes.

 

[Fuzzy]

FUCK.

Even when Netflix brings back a show, they bring back the wrong one. It should be BUNHEADS not Gilmore Girls.

Double disappointment tonight.

Maybe ASP will work on that next for Netflix...

 

[bonesmccoy]

Wow! Congrats Liberals! I did not expect a majority win.

It will be fascinating to see what happens to Harper after this shellacking. I'll be amazed if be lasts beyond tonight.

edit: I had to explain to my parents that the Liberals getting elected, who have almost the same social mores as the Conservatives, is not a sign of the end times.

 

[Fou-Lu]

holy fuck i know the prime minister.....

And he's my cousin!

Spoiler

I've never actually met him though...

 

[NetMapel]

Why is Southwestern Ontario so... uncool ???

 

[massivekettle]

Mulcair and Harper will both resign tonight...

 

[Nobility]

Jays winning.

Liberal Majority.

The Force Awakens trailer.

I'm not going to survive the night.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Holy shit, did any of y'all hear that big ass thunder?

actually his name is "trudeau"

 

[disappeared]

Everybody here is amped and drunk

 

[matthewwhatever]

170 I think?

Seats are 300 something total I think

338 total seats. 170 for a majority.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

So, Harper's likely gonna win his seat. He'll still stick around in Parliament, but he's out as Tory leader, yeah?

 

[nullref]

Had no idea, this is the first time I've been old enough to vote, and old enough to actually start caring (bad I know)

As long as your care now, youngblood, that's all that matters.

 

[trifelife]

GG Canada, in the end my vote didn't even matter!

We did it!!! Fuck off Harper, you fuck. Woo!

 

[mdubs]

Well, gut check time for the Right, hopefully with these 4 years they can regroup with some smarter policy for the next one. The leadership race will be key

 

[Stumpokapow]

Apparently spoke too soon about Poilievre. Ugh.

 

[Mr.Sumal]

Skullface's reaction on NDP collapse in Quebec : WHO HAS SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE? WHOOOOOO

 

[Goldenroad]

Trying to get a Spotify victory playlist going.


So far:

Lucky Man - Emerson Lake & Palmer
Song 2 - Blur
Power - Kanye West
Pride (In The Name of Love) - U2

and now I'm just on a U2 kick. Great music to watch these results come into.

 

[Zing]

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

I am a fan of the theory that it is far better to have a majority government that is solely responsible for its actions and can be corrected rather than a government full of weak compromise and coalitions where it is not clear who is to blame. Basically, it's better to have decisive mistakes.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Everybody here is amped and drunk

I'm getting FUCKED UP tonight

 

[Coldnoodle]

Jays winning.

Nintendo needs to announce a Direct now!

 

[prelude514]

Damnit, my riding (Rivière-du-Nord) has the BQ ahead of NDP by 300+ votes. Disgusting.

 

[Beaulieu]

so disappointed in seeing all that red in Quebec, shit's fucked yo.

Damnit, my riding (Rivière-du-Nord) has the BQ ahead of NDP by 300+ votes. Disgusting.

how's that disgusting ?
NPD was all over the place during the campaign, desperate as fuck for some votes.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This is just like the UK election where the winning party was underestimated in polls. Looks like Liberals are gonna win in a massive blowout.

 

[matthewwhatever]

So, Harper's likely gonna win his seat. He'll still stick around in Parliament, but he's out as Tory leader, yeah?

He'll be retiring from Parliament very, very soon.

Mulcair too.

 

[elty]

Momentum > Inertia

 

[crazyrabbits]

Mississauga is now a sea of red. The Cons have been completely wiped out.

GODDAMN

 

[Flare]

Good night tonight. I'm interested to see the voter turn-out. I honestly think we might see an increased turn-out.

 

[Leeness]

Lol my riding still going blue booooooooooooooooooo

 

[Fuzzy]

So, Harper's likely gonna win his seat. He'll still stick around in Parliament, but he's out as Tory leader, yeah?

From his cold dead hands.

The Final Countdown - Europe

Get that in there.

 

[Sean C]

Consider: This is at least five times the seats the Liberals won last time.

 

[nullref]

Fuck, Regina-Lewvan looking potentially close. Crossing fingers.

 

[Yagharek]

If someone could find a way to bottle conservative tears, the Californian drought could be stopped tonight.

Haha the last thing california needs is a salinity problem

 

[Dr.Acula]

So that's what happened... but what exactly occurred for this to transpire? Did he say something crazy or something?

This is more of a protest vote against Harper, and people looked at Trudeau and looked at Mulcair, and Mulcair didn't inspire anyone.

Mulcair may have lost Quebec when he went soft on the Niqab, and that may have pushed the strategic voters into the Liberaal camp.

 

[Smiley90]

Looks like "when in doubt, vote for the party that seems the strongest and not conservative", which is the liberals, cost the NDP BIG time. I'm sure if they had gotten off to a stronger start and had established themselves as the main anti-Harper party the liberals/NDP votes would be reversed.

But I don't mind, Harper out, all is well.

What's the biggest jump historically that a party has ever made? this is intense

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Still see too much blue in Ontario.

Rural Ontario is just as blue as Alberta. You're dreaming if you think those will ever be any other colour.

[NetMapel]

You can go back on the CBC live stream on Youtube and see the reaction again and again

 

[Mrs. Manky]

NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER

PAS UN SEUL HOMME DEVRAIT AVOIR TOUTE CETTE PUISSANCE

 

[MMarston]

So first off, pretty glad we got Harper outta here.

Second, RIP NDP. Like holy fucking shit they are GONE

 

[oneils]

Dayum, ndp getting rocked. My man dewar is behind by 150 votes now. I think I'll be ok. Great show tonight.
