SunTV just floated the idea of a PC/NDP coalition. No lols big enough.

Ha, "all eyes are on Northumberland - Quinte West"

I'm sure they're all hanging out at the Swiss Chalet at exit 464 and watching the numbers come in...

Oh my God. The Toronto Sun's cover headline tomorrow is "WELCOME TO HELL".

Why is it hell now and not hell for the last 8 years? It doesn't even make sense, if anything it sounds like they're saying moving from a Liberal Majority to Minority is hell.

Sorry about Thornhill :(

I was at the Leafs game so I wasn't able to get another 2000 Liberal votes out

The ultra orthodox jews voted for Shurman who has done shit all for Jews instead of the former head of the Canadian Jewish Congress

=/
I'm also sorry. As powerful as I want to be, I'm just not that powerful enough to count for 2000 votes.

So, are they saying the last 8 years are Hell? It says right there "He's back" - so it's implying having him as a leader is Hell. What has been hell about the last 8 years goddamn it! Someone explain this to me!

Maybe they just meant opening their pages is like going into the pits of Hell.
As they will be spouting BS throughout. xD

WOW. That's the most pathetic thing I've ever seen from a newspaper.

Yep, Sun Media shouldn't qualify as a news organization, they're so clearly wholly owned by the Conservatives.

Maybe not, but if you live in Kenora-Rainy River you count about three times as much as someone in Oak Ridges-Markham.

Let's not get into a FPTP discussion.

I can't help to think the result in Toronto is a direct result of Ford Nation's effects on Toronto in the last year.

did Hudak speak in French during his speech? I don't remember him doing so, yet both the Liberals and NDP at least said a few sentences in French

Wasn't my intent, I like FPTP. Just a simple statement of numbers of registered electors...

And I can't help but think you're right.
 
Ford showed that saying you will cut taxes and be able to keep services the same even with a huge deficit is just bullshit and I'm glad Toronto wasn't fooled again

Unfortunately life isn't a Who song. Torontonians may indeed be fooled again.

If anything, he 43% turnout is just sad.
Turnout in Federal elections is usually greater than provincial which is usually greater than municipal.

When municipal turnout exceeds provincial turnout, something's wrong. Really, really wrong.

McGuinty has done good things for the city though, if we had a halfway sane mayor then we'd be in the middle of the biggest transit expansion in decades. Hudak had exactly zero ideas for urban parts of the province.

Hudak didn't have any ideas, he spent his whole campaign bitching about McGuinty.

Hudak's answer was, "I trust the local MP's opinions on Transit"

What a fucking dumbass.

I think it would be pretty cool to have online voting. Will it ever be a possibility?

I don't think anyone trusts the government to have a system secure enough to prevent fraud.

Not even the government, it's just impossible to secure an online system

I really like the system we have now, you do a scantron card that gets counted and prints a paper receipt for each for you to verify in case of computer error or tampering

As soon as I heard him say "I'm going to end the war on cars" is his platform for Toronto, I knew it had to be over.

Maybe something like vote online (using a piece of government ID+voter registration card), and then you have to print out and mail in your receipt to show you voted and sign it. I don't know.. obviously it can be like any opinion poll online, but I'm sure they must be able to secure it enough. Government handles plenty of sensitive issues online already, like immigration.
