I doubt it, it's probably coming from NS or NB.

South Shore swung heavily to the NDP in the provincial election, but they're swinging away now. They're upset about the prov govt's cancellation of the Yarmouth Ferry among other things.

Considering the Daxter government's economic shock therapy, I should have known Nova Soctia wouldn't lean so heavily NDP this time.

Yeah, Dexter's not as popular as he used to be. That's why I predicted no NDP gains there.

woohoo!

Halifax West before South Shore? Wow.

[Hatman 🍁]

Godin is losing? WHAT?

NDP ahead in 2 Scarborough seats

[Hatman 🍁]

Tory majority imminent.

[Hatman 🍁]

Wow. I said it before, and I'll say it again. I now hate Saskatchewan. It seems it was harder for the NDP to gain Tory seats than Liberal and BQ seats.

[Hatman 🍁]

Bramalea-Gore-Malton was surprisingly close. And look who was second

[Hatman 🍁]

Never thought I'd see the day where the NDP's worst riding was 9%, and almost every riding had at least 10%.

And, what was the NDP's worst riding? Crowfoot, where they still finished 2nd!

[Hatman 🍁]

EKOS' 2nd last poll had 2nd preferences

Cons: NDP 22.9%, Libs 17.7%, Greens 9%, BQ .7%, Others 2.1%. Would not vote: 47.2%
NDP: Libs 37%, Greens 20.5%, Tories 15.3%, BQ 8.9%, Others 1.8%, Would not vote 16.6%
Liberals: NDP 53.9%, Tories 13.2%, Greens 13%, BQ 2.9%, Others .8%, Would not vote 16.3%
BQ: NDP 48.7%, Liberal 11.5%, Greens 9.8%, Tories 6.7%, Others 1.9%, Would not vote 21.4%
Others: Greens 16.4%, Tories 14.5%, BQ 13.6%, NDP 11%, Liberals 8.3%, Would not vote 36.2%

Very nice, Xahar.

Both the NDP and Tories were western based white man protestant parties until very recently.

Rosemary Brown is neither white nor male.  Howard McCurdy isn't white either.

[Hatman 🍁]

Sorry, Green transfers: NDP 33%, Liberals 17%, Tories 16.2%, BQ 5.9%, Other 2.7%, Would not vote 25%.

[Hatman 🍁]

haha. Awesome. When are the Barenaked Ladies going to run for Parliament? It's proven the NDP can win in Scarborough!

[Hatman 🍁]

I saw the first clip yesterday. She has been quite the celebrity in this country, to the point that I'd say she's a house hold name.

[Hatman 🍁]

She has a better accent than Harper: http://tvanouvelles.ca/video/940199381001/ruth-ellen-brosseau-en-entrevue-a-tva-nouvelles/

Some "exit polling" data:

Kind of strange, if you ask me. How could the NDP be above average with both visible minorities and non visible minorities?

[Hatman 🍁]

There's no federal bellwether like Sarnia though, which has elected the winning party since the 1960s.  Not the same provincially however, as it was one of the few seats the Tories gained in the last provincial election.

I think if the NDP ever formed government, it would have to win seats like Sarnia. Not a wild thought, as the party has finished a strong second in the last two races.

I disagree than an NDP win would come from the west. I think it'll come from Ontario. They can only really gain  10-15 seats in western Canada. The rest have to come from somewhere. And, Ontario has gone NDP before, it just has to exorcise Bob Rae and do it again.

[Hatman 🍁]

I think you will see the NDP win in Brampton, first. Yes, you heard me. Indians vote NDP in BC, so why not in Ontario? The NDP nearly picked up Bramalea-Gore-Malton. Perhaps after redistribution, a more heavily Indian riding will result in an NDP pickup?
