Alberta, Saskatchewan entirely
Manitoba South, Interior BC

all full of Rednecks outside the major cities (Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina)

No argument there smelly, but 80-90% of the populations of these provinces live in those cities. Those types are minority.

 

[catpurrcat]

LPC has all but two ridings in Toronto, which is really fucking up my OCD.

Would that be Markham - Unionville, and Thornhill? That's not Toronto

(Toronto proper is filled with people who have left those areas over 10 years.)

 

[ivysaur12]

The LPC majority number keeps creeping up. Omigod

 

[J-Man]

This thread is moving so fast right now! Happy with the Liberal majority.

Still shocked to see Dewar loosing.

Happy to see Canada reject a xenophonic party in the same way Quebec did when the bloc brought out their charter (and I lived in Quebec at that time, so was able to reject that as well. I've lived either in the Pontiac or Ottawa Centre over the last few years).

Now, we need to move to a proportional representation or even a single ballot run off. The progressive vote united tonight, but this may not always happen and we need a system that truly reflects the voice of the people. Libs only had 40 some percent but will have a majority.

I also wish by magic those bloc seats will disappear by the end of the night, but with no movement, I bet their locked in.

 

[Smiley90]

No. Rednecks inside Saskatoon and Regina too.

And Winnipeg.

Saskatoon West is voting NDP, Regina-Wascana is voting Lib

Winnipeg is ALL Red

I'm happy with that. They're back to where they were before but it could have been much worse. The way I see it, this election has been a disaster for the NDP and this is basically their worst case scenario. If the worst case scenario for NDP is 35 seats, that's good with me. It's not like having 60 seats would help when the Liberals have a majority.

35ish seats for the NDP is good. That tells me that this is their base, their rock solid seats. That's already way better than the 9 seats they had at their low point. Maybe I'm blindly optimist, but 35 seats is definitely something they can recover from. They're not going to be 4th party anytime soon like in 2008 for example.

 

[UberTag]

The Liberals have officially swept the Maritimes.
Nick Whalen has been declared as elected in St. John's East over the NDP's Jack Harris.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Nathan pls.

Lol

 

[maharg]

Welp, I wish the Liberals luck hoping Quebec doesn't dump them again next time.

However, thank god Harper's out. Please prove me wrong and make me eat a hat, Liberals, and give me PR even though it will doom you to never having a majority again.

Also looks like I was wrong about the Liberals pulling off a win in my riding, so I am in fact represented (well, it's still tight so maybe not) by non-Conservatives at every level for the first time in my life. In Alberta. So that's cool.

 

[oneils]

Damn, pat Martin going down in Winnipeg. So many heavy hitters getting turfed

 

[whitehawk]

Wow

 

[Yawnier]

Nathan pls.

lmao

 

[Apathy]

That pic of Robert - Falcon Ouellette is not flattering at all. I think it's the part in the hair. I can't believe hes beating Pat Martin.

 

[XOMTOR]

First item on Prime Minster Justin Trudeau's agenda: lower video game prices back to $59.99

Don't count on it. The dollar already dropped further today on rumor of a Liberal win.

 

[Willectro]

 

[Fuzzy]

Will they even need to do that or can they just put the issue to a referendum and send it out to die?

Trudeau wants to do it. It would pretty much guarantee he'd be PM for as long as he wants to be.

It's close enough or they include it into the metro area so

You never answered me, you're in Markham-Unionville right? You and kave should've done more in your ridings.

 

[bonesmccoy]

To the NDP psychos vandalizing CPC and LPC election signs on the Island: Ahahahahahahahahahhahaha! Eat shit, losers!

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Thornhill isn't changing. Peter Kent was holding 50% of the votes at the worst case, and both the liberals and NDP are running unknowns.

Not surprised, but disappointed in my area that somehow, the demographic is going to be very right leaning.

 

[firehawk12]

I hope you have that nacho hat ready.

Wow

Yep, fuck my life. Just fuck it.

 

[gutter_trash]

what makes this Liberal win even more decisive is that they won fighting a united-right Conservative party and having Left wing voters spliting from Liberals on the Left to the NDP.

When Chretien won, he was help due to the fact that the Right was divided.

but today with a united Right,... .this Liberal win is decisive

 

[ColonelSkills]

Saskatoon West is voting NDP, Regina-Wascana is voting Lib

Winnipeg is ALL Red

I know. It was a bad joke.

I'm making a disparaging comment about the sheer amount of salt I'm seeing from the blues locally right now. Shit is FLIPPING OUT.

As happy as the current results make me, I'm not about to say there isn't a significant presence of CPC bullshit here.

 

[Apathy]

Justin has so many many people to pick from for his cabinet, and people with actual experience and knowledge of what they are in charge of.

 

[AzureSkies]

pls

 

[The Power Of Snap]

So Quebec made all the difference in the end.

We kicked npd out

 

[Kyuur]

Disappointed in my riding a bit, saw so many Liberal signs around so I was hopeful, but it looks like we're being a typical Albertan riding.

 

[matthewwhatever]

The Liberals have officially swept the Maritimes.
Nick Whalen has been declared as elected in St. John's East over the NDP's Jack Harris.

Mind. Blown.

Also blown by Halifax, Sackville, Fundy Royal, Kanata-Carleton, lots of rural Quebec...this is just insane.

 

[Yawnier]

Wow

Wasn't this Jack Layton's seat? That is rough.

 

[catpurrcat]

Wow

Is this for real? Isn't this riding a NDP lock?

 

[Blackhead]

Congrats Liberals (trash, whatever, etc)

Now main election promise I want to see redeemed is PR

 

[UberTag]

Don't count on it. The dollar already dropped further today on rumor of a Liberal win.

The fact that it's such a majority probably helps the dollar over a Liberal minority win. But the dollar will still tumble over the short-term.

The Toronto "almost" sweep the Liberals have pulled off is something else.
Apart from Thornhill and Markham-Unionville that is.

 

[Saige]

Trudeau wants to do it. It would pretty much guarantee he'd be PM for as long as he wants to be.

Democracy!

Damn I really hope I eat crow about being this pessimistic.

I don't have any CPC friends on fb, for good reason :lol

Wait, Calgary hasn't elected a liberal MP in 50 years? jesus

 

[Dongs Macabre]

It's pretty ironic that we're getting a liberal majority, since we all know how much Harper hates minorities.

 

[BigJonsson]

Just got to the Thornhill liberal party, we lost the battle but won the war!

 

[DJ_Lae]

Disappointed in my riding a bit, saw so many Liberal signs around so I was hopeful, but it looks like we're being a typical Albertan riding.

Yeah, that's my riding too, and I had higher hopes for us. Oh well.

 

[Sean C]

Bizarrely, the NDP are leading narrowly in Nunavut, but their incumbent MP in the Northwest Territories is getting hammered.

 

[ZoltanXerxes]

The cherry on top will be Harper's resignation.

I'm calling it! A Prentice style resignation. (Alberta's last Premier Jim Prentice).

 

[MeBecomingI]

Wow, another Liberal seat in northern Saskatchewan!? It looks so bizarre on the map! Hope it stays that way! It's really close right now.

EDIT: Back to the Cons. Damn.

 

[Apathy]

Wasn't this Jack Layton's seat? That is rough.

It was. It's a huge fucking deal

 

[Sober]

Trudeau wants to do it. It would pretty much guarantee he'd be PM for as long as he wants to be.

You never answered me, you're in Markham-Unionville right? You and kave should've done more in your ridings.

No I'm in Markham-Thornhill now. Used to be Markham-Unionville though. The LPC candidate in M-T is the same from before.

 

[firehawk12]

I expect a more even match once Harper is gone and the CPC recalibrate themselves. He really should have resigned and let someone else lead the party into this election.

 

[The Scollard]

I lean mostly NDP in their policies,but seeing that Trudeau is planning on implementing programs that seem to be very NDP-like (deficit spending, focus on infrastructure and providing Canadians jobs through that spending) I voted Liberal this election, though it admittedly was a toss-up between them and the NDP until basically a week before election night. While I would have preferred a minority government with the NDP, I'm happy they got their majority, and they managed to kick out Harper, and implement progressive programs that can help all Canadians.

Voted NDP, but the lib majority is perfectly acceptable. Can't wait to see how much gets done now. Gonna be great.

Completely agree, except voted Liberal instead of NDP.

 

[killer rin]

WOOOOHOOOOOOO... We Kicked the Conservatives out of Essex. We swung full NDP baby. Take that Jeff Watson.

 

[NetMapel]

South Surrey-White Rock with a tight race between CON and LIB. Holy shit never thought that's possible because it is like the safest CON riding ever.

 

[zedge]

I don't have any CPC friends on fb, for good reason :lol

Wait, Calgary hasn't elected a liberal MP in 50 years? jesus

The Cons were in power provincially for 40 years.. are you surprised?

Unfortunately I have friends voting Con even though they are not conservative at all.. sigh. The longer mat leave swayed a couple.

 

[Sean C]

The Liberals currently leading in my favourite riding name in the country: West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country.

Edit: With 2 polls in, the Liberals are narrowly ahead in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke, which would give them a seat on Vancouver Island if it holds.

 

[Willectro]

Wow

Yea, Julie!

 

[Orca]

Man I'm glad everyone on Facebook is giving them a chance... I've seen three people calling for a 'Lee Harvey Oswald' already.

 

[Simon Belmont]

I'm so relieved to (hopefully) not have to go to drug dealers anymore.

Sorry boogie.
