Canadian Election 2019

[Cinemark]

I feel like the popular vote is less important in Parliamentary democracies since the left wing parties will eclipse the right wing parties vote by a healthy margin.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Side note: I love that May and Letwin are named May and Letwin. The Cameron Cabinet lives on in the Green Party of Canada!

Wascana looks bad for Ralph Goodale; definitely not good for the Grits out West if he goes, though being right next door to the Tory leader probably didn't help him any either.

His behavior in the lead-up to the campaign was rather vicious for him, and I think a sign of just how far the Liberals have turned into a Trudeau cult, much like the Trump cult down South: deny, downplay or excuse anything your leader does, and always turn it into a nasty (and usually dishonest) attack on the opposition. The sooner both nations are rid of their two loathsome leaders, the better, though obviously it won't start happening tonight.

Also, the Tories have finally surpassed the Liberals in vote share (they've been gaining slowly for a while). If the Tories get more votes but lose the election, it will be the first time that's happened since the 1920s.

Cons did it in 1979. Very ironic if it happens considering what happened in the US.

[Storr]

Conservatives have won or are leading in all but one seat (Edmonton Strathcona) in Alberta. The same in Saskatchewan where the LIB is leading in Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River by 72 votes. This election is definitely emphasizing the regional divisions of Canada.

Yes, the Tories did it a couple times under Diefenbaker & Clark due to the big Liberal leads in Quebec; for the reverse to happen you have to go back to the King-Meighen days.

Looking at Ontario, the Liberals are holding quite strongly - in spite of their provincewide lead being cut by about half (it's around 5% as of writing this), they've taken just a couple of net losses there. If Doug Ford hadn't become Premier of Ontario, would we be looking at a different result tonight? Had the Tories picked up 30-35 ridings there instead of just 3-5, they'd be ahead with 150 or so MPs. Instead it looks like the Liberals will be around 155-160.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

liberal-npd gov?

Yes.

Nice.

[Lourdes]

Trudeau is now what he always wanted to be: a minority.

[Crumpets]

Looks like Libs will probably win Sydney-Victoria after all. It hasn't been called yet, but there's only one poll outstanding with the Liberal up over 1,300 votes.

[DistingFlyer]

As for the turfed cabinet ministers, Jane Philpott is running third in her riding with the Liberals leading. Jody Wilson-Raybould is in a three-way battle right now; at first it was the Liberal leading, now the Tory. She hasn't been projected ahead yet, but we'll see.

Liberals still ahead in Milton; they'll almost certainly pick it up now. Deeply disappointing.

Will LPC win the popular vote once everything is counted?

[Nyvin]

Lol that'd be something for a strong Liberal win in seats with a CPC PV win. Sad for democracy but would be nice irony, and payback for the 2016 US election in a way.

A plurality PV win isn't really all that meaningful.    The left win parties (LPC, NDP, Greens) will easily have a majority and then some.    

The CPC really has a monopoly on the right wing vote except that scrap that went to PPC.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

The right wing saying BuT THe COnS ArE WINniNg tHe POpuLaR VoTe!!!! is so fdcking disingenuous. It's about as stupid as saying Marshall Jones (D) got the most votes in the LA 4th Jungle Primary in 2016. It is true, but you catch my drift.

NDP with 2 seats left in Quebec...

Knew Singh was going to be unelectable in that province.

[Leading Political Consultant Ma Anand Sheela]

What is going on in Winnipeg Centre?

[TWTown]

Greens leading the NDP by over 3000 votes in Winnipeg Centre (Manitoba). This could be their fourth seat.

[Storr]

Conservatives have won or are leading in all but one seat (Edmonton Strathcona) in Alberta. The same in Saskatchewan where the LIB is leading in Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River by 72 votes. This election is definitely emphasizing the regional divisions of Canada.

CONS now ahead by more than 1,000 in Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River.

Huh thought they might end up with only 1 seat there.

[MaxQue]

Greens leading the NDP by over 3000 votes in Winnipeg Centre (Manitoba). This could be their fourth seat.

She got like 4000 votes in the last update, this is an obvious mistake.

Yeah, I just noticed that. Another mistake by Elections Canada?
