Performed my civic duty. Can't wait for the results.

The wheels are seriously coming off: http://www.torontosun.com/2011/10/05/tories-would-cancel-gas-powered-electricity-plant-hudak

This is the same plant Hudak accused McGuinty of closing during the debate.

The Sun has always been the The Anti-Star.

Just as I've started rewatching the X-Files. I think it's a sign.

 

[Brinbe]

Results time

 

[Stet]

Can't watch live. Too stressful. I got soured from federal and municipal elections.

 

[Zombie James]

Third period of the Leafs game starting, good distraction.

 

[Divvy]

Any live streams of the results?

EDIT: I think cbc has one

oh my god hazel mccallion looks hideous

 

[djkimothy]

Go Dalton!

 

[Zombie James]

Looking good so far...

 

[Prax]

This is like watching sports...

I clicked away form the Leafs vs. Montreal to watch the polls instead. Haha.

 

[Fuzzy]

I just switched to CTV from the Leafs game and they're doing a TSN panel on the election. :lol

 

[lunarworks]

Just got home. I'm watching CityNews on my laptop. The TV in the living room has... X-Factor. -_-

 

[Stet]

Okay can't not watch either. CTV says Liberals are leading in 48 ridings. PC in 37. Looking good so far.

 

[EvilMario]

Went up with my wife to vote around 8:30. There were a handful of people voting; no waiting at all.

Looking forward to the results in a few minutes..

 

[lunarworks]

Citytv delcares a Liberal government.

Too close to say if it's a minority or majority, but it's leaning towards minority.

 

[Stet]

CTV declared a Liberal victory.

 

[djkimothy]

Has anyone seen the CBC map? Shit. All blue. :/

Nepean-Carleton am fail...

 

[Azuran]

So far so good. I guess we're not getting a Blue Trifecta.

 

[a176]

literally less than 10% polls reporting, citynews declares liberal government

 

[Stet]

Here's hoping for a majority.

 

[Prax]

Kitchener-Waterloo, why they so conservative? lol

 

[Brinbe]

Good, at the very least it's a nice result. Not sure of a majority, but we'll see.

 

[lunarworks]

Apparently the reporters on CTV were disappointed looking when they declared a Liberal win. LOL.

 

[djkimothy]

Toronto redeeming themselves after previous elections. Who would want conservatives in all three levels anyways...

We still have Ford and Harper in power. Toronto will never redeem themselves.

 

[EvilMario]

Who knew that Ford would actually save McGuinty in the end. Finally, he's done something right.

Ottawa had a conservative love affair with larry obrien. He failed miserably. You can't run a city like a business. Harsh lessons. Didn't seem to teach toronto anything though...

CBC declares liberal victory. Question is minority or majority.

What did he do?

 

[a176]

What did he do?

got Hudak's approval

What did he do?

Made everyone hate the conservatives enough to not vote for them provincially. >___>

 

[EvilMario]

What did he do?

He cemented the Liberal/NDP's position in Toronto, rather than the scary prospect of losing ridings in the city to the PC.

 

[Stet]

Now I'd like to see Dalton play hardball with Ford.

 

[Zzoram]

Why are they calling a Liberal win already? The CBC interactive map is all orange and blue. I don't understand.

 

[djkimothy]

Did Toronto just vote him for the lulz?

I wouldn't mind a minority with and NDP keeping them in check. Time to go to bed.

Why are they calling a Liberal win already? The CBC interactive map is all orange and blue. I don't understand.

Toronto alone is like half the seats in Ontario. I'm exaggerating but it's close to the truth. You need Toronto to win in Ontario. The Liberals are holding it down solid.

Props to downtown Ottawa. Why did I have to move out in the boonies.

Are you serious?

 

[EvilMario]

Why are they calling a Liberal win already? The CBC interactive map is all orange and blue. I don't understand.

Zoom in around the urban centres, with many ridings, in southern Ontario. It's Liberal everywhere, with sprinkles of NDP.

 

[Fuzzy]

Why are they calling a Liberal win already? The CBC interactive map is all orange and blue. I don't understand.

GTA has something like 44 seats and the Liberals will win all but 4 or 5 of them. They've picked up enough outside the city to win.

 

[elty]

Those interactive map is all blue because PC's strength is in rural area, which is larger thus more noticeable.

PC is completely shut out in 416 Toronto. No way they can win when they cannot even get a single seat here.

 

[Zzoram]

Ok, looks like Liberals are getting around 50 of the 54 they need, so they'll need to get NDP votes for things, or maybe a few conservatives depending on the issue.

 

[EvilMario]

Thornhill. A rogue blue in a sea of red and orange.

Most of Ontario is largely unpopulated. So there's so really giant, massive ridings up north that look disproportionate.

 

[Stet]

CTV just said that the northernmost riding is the size of Germany with the population of Niagara Falls.

CTV just said that the northernmost riding is the size of Germany with the population of Niagata Falls.

Conservatives still look at the map, see the sea of blue, and express enormous butthurt.

they got a mayor in the most populous city, they should be happy with that

 

[lunarworks]

If I've learned one thing about them, Conservatives are never happy.

Even when they're in power, they're still angry.

 

[elty]

Ohhh NDP slip down 1 to 17, and Liberal is now 53, just 1 more for majority.

Watching the counter is exciting.

 

[EvilMario]

Not these days. The only people happy with Ford seem to be those from Mississauga, and outside of the city.

 

[Farooq]

Thank you Mayor Ford and Ford nation.

That is all I can say. Very glad the liberals won.

 

[Brinbe]

Oh shit, 54. Let's see if that holds.

Edit: Back down to 53, flip-flopping.
