If 2X=6, then Lib=X+2, NDP=X-1, Con=X-2. Solve for X! #elxn41 #tweettheresults

Cons up 9% in votes in NS. Greens severely down. New total Cons 12 Lib 10 NDP 9 #elxn41 #tweettheresults

NDP is supposedly leading in Dartmouth-Cole Harbour, per Twitter twatter.  Avalon may be the only Newfoundland riding not called.

Twitterverse claims Mackay won Central Nova (CON hold).

[cinyc]

From the Usenet rumor mill:
Cops seek suspect after alleged theft of ballot box in Nova Scotia

megan leslie elected in hfx

[cinyc]

From Usenet, again:

Confirmed: Peter Mackay wins Central Nova.

Total Con 13, Lib 12, NDP 7

From CBC:

Atlantic Canada results (not final). Lib 10, NDP 8, CON 7

NFLD
- Liberal: 4 (Foote, Simms, Byrne, Russell)
- NDP: 2 (Harris, Cleary)

The polls aren't closed in Quebec; disregard Twitter frauds.

They could be closed on the Isles du Madeleine - but I've heard no early results from there.

[cinyc]

So the last ridings close 4:30 CET?

Hard for me to do the math.  10 Eastern, which is 3 London Time and 4 Central European Time, I think.

[cinyc]

PEI stands at Liberal 3, Conservative 1 and New Brunswick Liberal 1, Conservative 9 #tweettheresults

So Liberals held Malpeque? Or did they gain Egmont and lose Malpeque? And did Yvon Godin seriously lose? This looks dubious.

Status quo on PEI.  Tories held Egmont.  Liberals won the other 3 ridings.

NDP is leading in Gaspésie--Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

By 455 votes.

[cinyc]

NDP is leading in Gaspésie--Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

Somewhere Duceppe is crying.

It's very close, though, a 455 vote lead.  And I think the part of the riding on the Gaspe peninsula closed at 9:30 - but I'm not certain about that.

65/235 is in, assuming my non-existent French is correct.

[cinyc]

Does this mean there is no NDP wave (in Ontario ) or are these just seats that weren't going to change hands any time soon?

Way too early to tell.  Polls just closed in Ontario 14 minutes ago.  Some polls haven't even started counting.

Twitter tells me that CTV says the Conservatives will win the election.  

Whether that means majority or minority - I don't know, nor does CTV, apparently.

[cinyc]

CTV supposedly says NDP poised to be official opposition, per Twitter.

[cinyc]

Via Twitter:

CTV projecting 130-157 seats for Cons, 69-97 NDP, 47-69 Lib #tweettheresults #elxn41

[cinyc]

These Tories seat counts are getting scary. Especially because the Prairies are still out...

Not necessarily.  The Prairies closed at the same time as most of Ontario and Quebec.  Only BC and Yukon are still open (and perhaps part of a riding in Alberta).

[cinyc]

Via Twitter:

CTV is declaring a Conservative win 44-23-21-3

Vote percentages, I assume?

[cinyc]

BQ back up to 3...now 4.  Perhaps it was a typo?  Does anybody know how CBC does this?

Reported leads in ridings - even if only one poll is reporting.

[cinyc]

CBC website is up!

Elections Canada's website, Elections.ca is up, too... and very sloooooow.

[cinyc]

Gaspésie--Îles-de-la-Madeleine is 34.4%-31.3% NDP over Bloc, with 125/235 reporting.

[cinyc]

CTV - Harper won his riding, Calgary Southeast.  Duh.

[cinyc]

Bob Rae win Toronto Centre - LIB hold.  Your next Liberal leader - perhaps.

Iggy is trailing in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, 39-35.

[cinyc]

Conservatives were briefly at 155 on the CTV tally.  Down to 154, now.

[cinyc]

Cannon defeated in Pontiac (CON loss).
