Canadian Election 2019

[Oryxslayer]

Tories win the first poll in Mirmichi-grand Lake by 3 votes, the first poll in Fundy Royal, and the second poll in Egmont. Libs on the  board in Central Nova, Sydney Victoria, and Saint John Rothesay.

Liberals and Green tied in Central Nova, however 'Seat' is given to Liberal

There's only 4 polls out of 230 out, so they're defaulting to the incumbent party

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

In NL PPC so far have 1 vote .....

Interesting .....

CPC ahead in 8 seats already

[Oryxslayer]

First results from mainland Atlantic looking really good for the Conservatives if they hold. But the lead are tiny and the Early vote may be biased. Plus no pre-election vote. Cape Breton Blue bump though?

[DistingFlyer]

Looks like the value of individual candidates' popularity may not have been extinguished in NS after all - the two Cape Breton ridings have the Tories competitive at the moment (both seats are being contested by longtime provincial MLAs). Not saying that they'll necessarily win, as they'd have to overcome long-held Liberal traditions (at the federal level, anyway) in those ridings, but they're not getting blasted out of the ballot box either.

Nothing yet from West Nova, but given that that seat is also being contested by a long-serving provincial Tory, I think that one may flip. We shall see soon enough . . .

I’m no Canadian election expert, but it’s probably a good thing for the Conservatives if they’re already leading in 8 ridings in a region where they won none in 2015.

Even if it holds a lot of it is reversion to the mean.  The real test will be ON

Well it was raining in NB today.

There's only a few hundred votes counted in each riding. Let's wait a little before we jump to any conclusions

Are left wing voters allergic to water?

Yes. Yes, we are.

Cons leading NDP in Acadie-Bathurst (behind the  Libs OFC) ...I thought the NDP had a star candidate here?

Hmm explains the smell...

GPC seems to be under-performing in the Atlantic provinces

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Called races are 8 Liberal holds, and one (St. John's East) Liberal -> NDP pickup.

[super6646]

Canyon disappointing result.

[LimoLiberal]

First Lib -> Con pickup: Tobique-Mactaquac in NB.

[trebor204]

It's 8:30 pm (EST) and the riding of Gaspésie–Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Quebec Riding in the Eastern / Atlantic Time Zone) should be reporting soon

[Oryxslayer]

Acadie-Bathurst called for Libs, so much about the  hype there. Three flips so far: St. johns East, Tobique-Mactaquac, and NB Southwest.

[LimoLiberal]

I think the Libs will come back in Sydney-Victoria. Conservatives have 4 pickups at least in NB. I'm interested to see what happens in Fredericton, interesting three-way race there between the Green, Libs, and Cons. Right now I think a 26-5-1-1 Lib-Con-Green-NDP split is likeliest.

Anyone want to make some bad nationwide predictions based off these first results?

Since St. John's East flipped to NDP, and the latter two to the Tories: Libs in disarray!!
