[Hatman 🍁]

[Hatman 🍁]

Liberal leader loses his seat

[Hatman 🍁]

Man, I wish ridings were this small here lol.

[Hatman 🍁]

CBC finally projects the YP will win.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

After all this work, NOW the map gets updated. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/yukonvotes2011/

[Marokai Backbeat]

YP Majority called.

[Hatman 🍁]

The Yukon is a strange place. Last election, all the incumbents won. This time, many of them are losing. Even the Liberals defeated an incumbent.

[Hatman 🍁]

Elvis loses 31 votes.

[Meeker]

Have they mentioned on the live stream what the hold up is in that one riding that hasn't reported anything yet?

The map is out of date. Watson Lake is usually quite right wing, so I reckon the YP is winning there.

Full Yukon results now in

[lilTommy]

NFLD - I think there might be a recount in Burin-Placentia, the Tory only won by 40 votes... if this is won by the NDP come recount, they would be tied with the Liberals... but as mentioned i think the Liberals would still be the OO? could the NDP fight that? (larger % of the popular vote after all). I think Labrador West could have gone NDP with a local candidate, again poor choice by the membership... Lake Melville will be a target next time and chalk it to a good candidate. Still a great night for the NDP
So the NDP under performed and the Liberals over performed... again as in Ontario. The Liberal 19% was VERY efficient, while the NDP managed to produce 4 seats in SJ which is incredible, but did you see the Liberal vote! in some ridings they failed to get 2-3% of the vote.
One downside to the Liberals is their leader failed to win, again. So the advantage in the House goes to the NDP.

YUKON - Ok, i was close I thought the numbers were going to be closer as the Liberals looked to be picking up some steam, but they just crashed and burned... if the NDP had a candidate in Vuntut Gwitchin they might have taken it... and surprisingly close in Watson Lake and Riverdale North. But the NDP had a massive gain here from 1 to 6 seats! and OO. Also, i was so excited to see a turncoat like Eric Fairclough lose to his old part (NDP) in Mayo-Tatchum But i expect their might be a recount in Copperbelt South

A good night for the NDP all around i think! again, a good night for incumbents

Any fancy maps of the Yukon, like we have for NFLD?

[Holmes]

These past elections have all been pretty incumbent party-friendly, despite what they were supposed to be just five months ago.

[lilTommy]

Thats very true in the case of Manitoba and Ontario, frankly the Tories in both provinces failed, they HAD the elections in hand... until people heard them, and they ran their campaigns and voters realized "Ummm maybe not".
BUT in NFLD, ON and YK we have strengthened opposition (ok, NFLD barely) but in all three cases historic nights for the NDP.
... Oh, interesting tid-bits about the new Yukon NDP caucus... they have 4 women and 2 men (a female dominant caucus, i haven't seen that since BC 2001 when the remaining 2 NDP members where women) All the women were elected from Whitehorse, and the men represent the two rural ridings, that will be an interesting dynamic.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

The NDP underperformed expectations in the Yukon, and, has been much higher than 6 seats in the past. The NDP has also been higher in Ontario, where they were once the Government. The only real "record" broken for the NDP was in Newfoundland, and even there, they underperformed expectations.

[Holmes]

Yeah. Still, the results weren't too bad. The NDP knows what it has to do going forward, and it knows the inroads it has to make, and where. The "trends" are definitely there in Newfoundland - a lot of second place finishes. Ontario will always be difficult for Ontario, but Horwath is a good leader. And Yukon... territories will always have wacky voting patterns, so the next election might have the NDP back in third, or in first. Who really knows?

By comparison, how large a share of NWT is Yellowknife?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

By comparison, how large a share of NWT is Yellowknife?

Yukon population: 34,246
Whitehorse: 26,711

Northwest Territories: 43,529
Yellowknife: 18,700

[lilTommy]

Should Cooperbelt South not be a lighter shade of Orange? the NDP only won by 4 votes i believe... i think you have Riverdale South and Copperbelt South mixed up on the map... but it sure is great!

I think Yellowknife is a smaller % of the territorial government... they have 6 of the 19 ridings... Whitehorse has 11 or the 19... Whitehorse is a larger city though so it makes some sense.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

No.

[minionofmidas]

The map is by winning party's share of the vote, not by lead.

[lilTommy]

Thanks... huh, then i'm more impressed then how close it was, the Liberals were a non-factor then

[lilTommy]

Hanson racked in the Highest vote (in a three way race) with 63% of the vote

Elias (Vuntut Gwitchen) had the highest overall with 64%... but thats the riding with no NDP candidate... which boggles my mind since they held this riding before 2006!
