Canadian Election 2019

[Cinemark]

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?

[Cinemark]

I wonder how off the polling is gonna be.

This result should be a reality check to dems they low approval ratings don’t always translate into losses

Thats not how i'd interpret a Liberal party win, but ok.

Global News now says to close to call!!

They have a tweet from 15 minutes ago projecting a Liberal minority government.

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.

liberal-npd gov?

Yes.

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.

The right wing bloc won the popular vote in 2016 yet that argument is made here


It’s dumb when both sides use it

For multiple reasons, you cant really say America has a right wing or a left wing bloc. Im not sure if your implying Republican+Libertarian > Democrat+Green in the 2016 popular vote but if you are then you shouldn't because its nonsensical.

People on twitter are saying a Liberal+NDP coalition will be more left wing then a singular liberal majority. Might be the worst outcome for the right in Canada if true.

I don't understand what people are basing the claim that "Trudeau will coalition with the NDP" on.

Me either but thats what the American political commentators i follow are saying.

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.

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?
