Canadian Election 2019

[Storr]

I'm currently following using the CBC website. Does anyone have a link to somewhere better to follow the results as they come in?

[Storr]

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

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!!

[Storr]

Another NB flip, Fundy Royal called for CON.

[Storr]

And so the bloodbath begins...

"Let the games begin."

[Storr]

CBC calls West Nova for CON, 4th flip from Liberal to Conservative.

[Storr]

LIB back up in Sydney-Victoria by 33 votes, with 167/196 polls reporting. If you like insanely close races, here's your seat.

[Storr]

First several non-Atlantic elections being called by the CBC, all in very Conservative rural areas.

[Storr]

CBC updates their Liberal Government projection to a Liberal Minority Government projection. (Hah, ya'll beat me too it! But first BQ flip (from NDP) confirmed in Jonquière.)

[Storr]

First LIB to BQ flip confirmed in Saint-Jean.

Canadian pundits are so polite. Not to reinforce steteotypes or anything, but it's refreshing.

It's so refreshing watching the CBC livestream, being used to CNN election night coverage.

Where did it all go wrong for the NDP?

So far much of their losses have been in Quebec, where they nearly wiped out the BQ in 2015. It seems they didn't satisfy those voters in the following years.

[Storr]

Maxime Bernier loses his own seat. PPC only has 1.6% overall. lol

[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.

[Storr]

Disappointed to see NDP lose Essex.

NDP seems to be losing from all sides.

[Storr]

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

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

[Storr]

Don't take my word on anything. I'm just some 'Murican idiot. But I have some thoughts, having watched the coverage from 9:00 PM.

1. Jagmeets wife is a babe.
2. Every party is a loser tonight, accept maybe the Bloc. I didn't even know that was possible.
3. Identity politics makes for boring elections, and this election was the most boring Canadian election since like, what, 2006?
4. Scheer needs to go.
5. The People's Party is over.

It was weird listening Jagmeet going on about all of the things he and the NDP are going to do complete with rousing chants and cheers from the crowd...despite losing a bunch of seats.
