The Yukon will be pretty interesting. I didn't do a write-up, but I am looking forward to doing one after the election is over.

Well, I hope the NDP can come out as the Opposition in NL. What times do polls close? And NL must have the most boring party logos ever.

As for Yukon, with things this close, and it being Yukon, there may be some strange results... NDP will do great in Whitehourse, Yukon Party outside of it, but with Liberals only 9% behind, they might be spoilers in some cases. Could tip things.

Looks like the polls close 8 east coast/island time. With the tories almost guaranteed to win, that should help sway some to vote for the NDP especially where they can win, when things are closer generally people (as we saw in ontario to some degree) people stick with what they know, or the "safer" choice.

Yukon, in the poll interestingly enough almost a quarter of liberals wanted Hanson as premier (92% of NDP voters backed Hanson... who are the 8! lol) With 11 of the 19 seats in Whitehorse, and the NDP prefered in the city, its going to be interesting that the Liberals might swing this. Liberal voters were more likely to vote the candidate rather then the Party, which might help their two members in the city.
This might be stupid to predict but:
YP - 8
NDP - 7
LIB - 4

Crap, i forgot to mention... Saskatchewan is a go!
might be the most boring of the bunch, but i still have some hope the NDP can atleast salvage a respectable showing as the opposition. Its going to be very interesting to see how the party performs when they look to be so low in the polls.

Polls close at 6:30? Damn, I'm probably gonna be out then. Sad I hope I don't miss it all. As for Saskatchewan, that's gonna be a snooze. The NDP need to dump Lingenfelter first of all, and hope that they have a strong leader when Wall retires. Which can be in a long time.

Harper's three stooges - Baird, Flaherty, and of course, Clement - are all very caricature-like, yes. I got the image from the Globe and Mail. Rather subtle, no?

I used to talk to his son online, he took part in that political sim that I played, but he "mysteriously vanished" a few weeks after his father won the leadership. We suspected the NDP told him to shut up and go away as to not embarrass his father. Either that or the dude was a liar and didn't want to be caught.

Polls close at 8pm in the Yukon, or 11pm Eastern. We won't have a problem with having to cover both races at the same time. Unfortunately I have to work tonight, so I wont be online to see the Newfy results.

There is no doubt the elections tonight are the ones that excite me most. We knew what the results were for the other ones - or at least I did - but what's going to happen tonight? that's exciting.

Question for discussion: will the NDP unseat the Premier?

This will mark the first time a female party leader has won an election since 2000 in the Yukon

STUDENT VOTE
PC 51.6%
NDP 28.5%
Lib 19.1%

REAL VOTE
P13 N3 L2

The NDP is ahead in The Straits, and that's a bit surprising, they could win here.
