The swing to the Conservatives in Labrador is pretty crazy.  That's one that can't even really be blamed on the NDP.

Interesting polls coming in in Saskatoon—Wanuskewin now have the NDP leading by about a point.  I'm not sure if it'll keep up, but a decent swing from 2008.

The 2 ridings where BQ leads in Southern Quebec are seeing NDP numbers awfully close to the BQ numbers.  BQ may not even end the night with 4 MPs.

NDP has now even taken over the lead in Richmond-Arthabaska.  Apparently I should've been more generous in how many seats BQ would lose.

Bloc is leading in only 3 ridings, despite having 23.4% of the vote in Quebec... Gotta love FPTP.

Is there a movement to push for AV voting in Canada like the UK is trying (although it'll fail there)?

Looks like all our predictions are wrong.

I debated giving the Conservatives a stronger lead, thinking the NDP might cancel out some liberal votes.  But I never thought BQ would take such a huge hit.

I do feel sorry for Gilles Duceppe.  I've always liked him personally.

Yeah, this one ended up being more boring than the British election.  I figured if anything, there might be more Liberal and NDP votes that could lead to a potential coalition if they eroded the Bloc.  This one was about as boring as the 2008 elections for the U.S.

So, after Bloq Quebecois, whither Quebecan nationalism?

It could see a resurgence in 2015 (or later).

Bob Rae is now speaking.  He's leading, but it looks like he'll be one of the few Liberal MPs left in Ontario.

Both Jean-Pierre Blackburn and Lawrence Cannon lost their seats, so Harper's lost 2 cabinet members so far, with 3 more in trouble potentially.

Bloc leading only in two seats. Oh mon dieu!

I just saw them lose their third.  I never expected such a hit for them.

Looks like they could lose Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord as well, leaving them with one reasonably safe one.

Elizabeth May is up 49-34. Greens looking to be about as relevant as the Bloc in the next Parliament.

Hey, it'd be a gain of 1.

He's making a good case now for the need of a centre party.  He needed to be doing this better months ago, though.
