Canadian Election 2019

Cons up 150,000 in the PV. Looking like they're going to win it. Vote just wasn't efficient enough sadly.

Kind of like democrats in 2016.

Yep. A Cons sweep in Saskatchewan and a near sweep (with one NDP win) in Alberta is an example of that.

[politicallefty]

Alberta and Saskatchewan are coming in extremely strong for the Conservatives, even stronger than under Harper. Liberals shutout and only Edmonton-Strathcona for the NDP stopping a full sweep.

[jaichind]

NDP and GPC under-performed pre-election polls.  It seems those votes went to LPC helping them to overcome CPC.

Can't miss the irony in that XD.

Btw, I'm not a Trump supporter (anymore, it was a mistake) if you are wondering.

Jagmeet Singh is leading in his district by around 700 votes, what an embarrassment of a leader. So many decent and good NDP MPs have lost their careers today

But he's "different" and whatever...

Idiotic to die on that hill. People don't want religion mixed with politics... it's almost 2020 ffs.

Interesting thing, the Cons are winning the riding of Kenora in Ontario. They were a distant third in polling according to 338. Looking like one of the few upsets in Ontario for the cons tonight?

I never understood why they had the Conservatives in third place, this was a former Conservative seat anyway. What seems to have happened is a reversion to the mean.

Sherbrooke is starting to get closer with every update. Fingers crossed that the NDP pulls victory out in this race, Pierre is a good MP.

[super6646]

The BQ can f*** itself.

[Tender Branson]

Any word about turnout ?

I heard that early voting was +30%, but did it also translate into overall higher turnout ?

I mean Quebec was always going to be lost, but his inability to pick up anything in urban Toronto or Peel where his 'surge' was supposed to occur certainly isn't nice. If I'm looking at this correctly, the NDP only picked up St. johns East and Winnipeg Centre, and maybe Nunuvut. Everything else is a hold or a loss. Not a great score sheet. Especially since candidate choice can be pointed to in those three.

A relief for the Liberals but still not good; the majority is gone, they trail in votes and the pattern of the victory of sorts is not very healthy. Poor for the Conservatives: they have just blown an election they could have (and should have) won because they scared urban Ontario. A catastrophic set of results for the NDP, even if is a lesser catastrophe than looked likely earlier this year. An unwelcome return for the Bloc and on one of the darkest campaigns they've ever run: nasty stuff. A missed opportunity for the Greens. And, happily, a major flop for Bernier.

So terrible for everybody?

[trebor204]

Voter Turnout should is currently protected to be around 63%

[Oryxslayer]

BTW, Mirimachi-Grand Lake and Cumberland-Colchester were some of the first ridings to release results, and they are some of the last to call, gotta love those slow tabulators.

Good for the Bloc, which is terrible for everyone else.

\ o / Everyone loses!

Is it true that the main backbone of Green Party support in NB is mainly composed by Anglophone who lives in a riding with weak Conservative presence ?

[rob in cal]

Not sure why the disappointment among Scheer supporters.  The CPC performance is pretty much right about what was expected, maybe a little less strategic than hoped for, but basically they hit their support level.  The problem of bad vote distribution was there from the beginning of the campaign wasn't it?

So the rise in early voting did not translate into higher turnout overall.

Well the CPC should have been able to win this election, this seems more of a case of people not wanting them and Scheer than actually supporting Trudeau.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Would Canada's most famous fictional Tory, Anne Shirley, have voted for the Scheer-led CPC? Somehow I can't see it. (I can totally see Gilbert and Diana, who are both Grits in the books, voting for Biebertrudeau, though.)
