These  results in LaSalle-Emard are considered validated!
So did Marx-Leninist won a seat? (Its the NDP-Marx had there votes traded)

I dunno. I've been begging for answers but no one will say a word.

I think the result needs to be formally declared and the website isn't the formal declaration and therefore doesn't actually have any legal status. The successful candidate doesn't become the member until the declaration by Elections Canada and the figures on the website are for information purposes only.

Two things could have happened.
1 - The person at the website putting in the data made a mistake.
If this is true, then no biggie, all will be fixed by morning.
2 - The returning officer, on his validated return, made a mistake.
If this is true, then since these results are valid, someone will need to challenge it, or, this person becomes elected.

Yes, quite right. I'd presupposed option 1 and suspected that's the case. If option 2 is the case, it may well need to be challenged, because that would probably be a legal document.

I think option 1 is more likely, though, because if the error had been made prior to the figures being entered into the computer, they would have probably been flagged by the person entering them, and the media probably would have picked up on it by now.

Quebec votes and seats:

NDP - 42.9% - 58 seats
BQ - 23.4% - 4 seats
Con - 16.5% - 6 seats
Liberal - 14.2% - 7 seats

lol FPTP, 2nd-4th vote/seat rankings are inverted.

Elections Canada can not "flag" anything, nor report anything of the sort to the media unless asked. The media has not asked, probably because they think it's a website error.

They just flipped the MLPC and NDP numbers; not a big deal. The data has already been corrected on their website.

Has anyone seen a handy list of all the ridings that switched parties, with results from 2008 vs 2011?

Some random facts... apologies for any errors...

1. Michael Ignatieff is the first Leader of the Opposition to lose his seat since Robert Manion in 1940. He is also the first Leader of the Liberal Party to lose his seat since Mackenzie King in 1945. Let that sink in for a moment.

2. Gilles Duceppe is the first Quebec-based party leader to lose his seat since Fabian Roy (Social Credit) in 1980.

3. Looking at the ridings held by Prime Ministers since 1945, the Tories hold the successor seats to both of Mackenzie King (Prince Albert and Glengarry; the latter being in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell now), of John Diefenbaker (Prince Albert) and Joe Clark (Yellowhead). The NDP now hold the successor seats to those held by Paul Martin (LaSalle—Émard), Jean Chrétien (Saint Maurice, now split between Saint Maurice-Champlain and Berthier-Maskinongé), Brian Mulroney (first Manicouagan then Charlevoix; so the current Manicouagan and Montmorency-Charlevoix-Haute-Côte-Nord ridings) and Lester Pearson (Algoma East; now Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing) and Louis St. Laurent (Québec-Est; split between multiple Quebec City ridings, all of which are now NDP held). The Liberals continue to hold the seats of Pierre Trudeau (Mount Royal) and John Turner (Vancouver Quadra) and the seat that they took from Kim Campbell in 1993 (Vancouver Centre).

4. The NDP now hold the successor seats to four of the six ridings held by previous NDP leaders, up from three before the election. These are both of Tommy Douglas's ridings (Burnaby-Coquitlam - population growth means that multiple ridings cover that area now, but all are NDP - and Nanaimo-Cowichan-The Islands which is now just Nanaimo-Cowichan. Parts might be in other seats of course), David Lewis (York South, now mostly in York South-Weston - parts are also in Davenport - NDP - and Eglinton-Lawrence - Con. Yeah Toronto redrawing was pretty radical in the late 1970s) and Alexa McDonough (Halifax). Oshawa and Yukon are both held by the Conservatives; the former would be vulnerable to an NDP gain if the Harper government becomes unpopular and the NDP retains its current viability, but the NDP came fourth in the Yukon.

Okay, I'm letting the fact that Mackenzie King lost his seat in 1945 sink in. Didn't know that.

...but the NDP came fourth in the Yukon.

After possessing this seat from 1987-2000 (by NDP's then-leader for the most part).  Funny how trends shift around almost at random in Canada.

So potential dippers preferred the Green, for whatever reason. And these northern ridings are all very personal-vote affected. The Tory will either aquire a personal vote or lose to a more united left campaign the next time around. Which might well be NDP. First scenario is more likely though.

The NDP actually came out of no where to almost win heavily Sikh Bramalea-Gore-Malton and they picked up heavily South Asian ridings in suburban Vancouver like Newton-North Delta and Surrey North. Scarborough-Rouge River also went NDP in a shock upset (NDP vote went from 13% to 40%!!) and that seat is 89% (no typo) foreign-born and heavily Tamil (as is the new NDP MP). So for all the talk about Tory inroads in the immigrant communities - there was also an under-reported NDP story happening.


But yeah, I hate when people are referring to the GTA, and call it Toronto. Big difference.


But, going back to the Liberal collapse - more people should be talking about Mississauga-Brampton! Peel region has gone entirely Tory, and by a far wider swing than Toronto. The Tory takeover of Brampton, at the very least, could be evidence that their targeting minorities strategy has worked, if only among the Indians. Or that they were right about immigrants only voting Liberal out of nostalgia.

I suppose it was remarked on less because it was less unusual - a conservative party rarely does well among immigrant communities in this country compared to a party of the left.

Yeah, but seeing as the Conservatives won their majority, the media only cares about their inroads.

As for Bramalea-Gore-Malton, less than a 1% loss! How sad. Have you seen any debate videos? Singh was the only one not reading any papers, was very articulate and on point, and was the only one (Green candidate not counting) who didn't speak with a heavy accent -- although that's probably not a con in that riding. He seemed like a great candidate, I hope he runs again, but with the election probably in four years, it seems too premature to start discussing future candidates.

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!

What worries me is the NDP losses outside of Quebec... with nearly 60% of the caucus now coming from there, and many of the newbies being totally new to politics, I hope they remember that the party stands for labour and farmers' rights. Many of the (serious) candidates outside of the province were serious FFs in that regard, whereas a lot of the winners in Quebec don't seem to be... maybe I'm worrying for nothing.

That's my concern as well. But I'd hope the leadership realizes these dangers and will try to do things intelligently.

Here are a couple of maps. Of course that's nothing compared with other maps that have been posted, but if you don't mind. Wink


Percentages by province (Atlas scale) :








And here is "trend", ie the difference between change in the province and overall change. The 0% shade is for a trend lower than -5, 20% is between -5 and 0, 40% is between 0 and 5, etc...








NDP is quite horrible, if I must say...

Here's what the election would look like in a 3-way tie (each party has 29.72%) :




And the same map excluding Québec (each party has 31.53%) :

I heard Parliament might return on May 30th.
First there needs to an election of Speaker, and then a throne speech. Maybe June 1st will be the first question period. (Question period normally starts at 2:15 pm est Mon-Thur)
