[Free Bird]

So what does this mean? Early Liberal good sign?

[Barnes]

The Maritimes coming in now.

[Vosem]

Judy Foote and Scott Simms declared reelected!

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Who said the Liberals can't win Rural Canada ?

[DC Al Fine]

Polls close any second now in my home province.

[Clyde1998]

CBC projecting that the Liberals have two candidates elected - and they are leading in four others, which must include a seat held by the NDP(?).

St. John's South-Mount Pearl and St. John's East have NDP incumbents.

Yes. They were expected to run up huge wins in Newfoundland but this is a bit higher than expected.

[Vosem]

Judy Foote and Scott Simms declared reelected!

Gudie Hutchings elected. Liberals 3, all others 0.

South St. John's, which was predicted to be Lib gain. East St. John's (not in yet) going Liberal would be a disaster for the NDP.

Liberals leading in the South - very early there though.

Jack Harris leading in East St. John

Projected not declared, this is not Britain. But yes.

Exactly.  Cliché note of caution attached to these results.

[DC Al Fine]

Grits up in Sydney-Victoria, where I'm pretty sure my Grandmother is the riding's only Tory

[Vosem]

Mark Eyking (Lib) defeated the Conservatives by 40-38 in 2011. He's won the first poll in Nova Scotia with 72% of the vote.

Britain should release results by polling station - we'd get the (projected) results much quicker.

[Clyde1998]

Mark Eyking (Lib) defeated the Conservatives by 40-38 in 2011. He's won the first poll in Nova Scotia with 72% of the vote.

Only one poll reporting out of over 200 though.

[Barnes]

One reason the results are coming in so quickly is that the advance poll votes began to be counted earlier today.

Also, the Tories ran a popular provincial politician last time.

So what does this mean? Early Liberal good sign?

Newfoundland and Labrador, and all the Atlantic provinces, are kind of their own cultural region that can swing or trend to a much greater extent or in the opposite direction of the rest of the country. Kinda like Appalachia in America.

But it's certainly far from a bad sign for them.

[Clyde1998]

Tories leading in Tobique-Mactaquac.

[DC Al Fine]

Harris up <10% in St. John's East.

[Boston Bread]

NB southwest is liberal. That is huge.

[Clyde1998]

Harris up <10% in St. John's East.

Now leading by 1.5%.
