3. A clear NDP victory would be awesome. (Unlikely maybe, but even a strong showing would be great.)
   
I'm admittedly not super-informed about Canadian politics, but I do pay attention to Canada, and love listening to CBC.

Whatever, happens though, it seems clear that real liberals/progressives are actually succeeding in building an alternative political presence up there that should be a lesson here in the US.

29. Hope again.
   
I wait anxiously for the results. When might they be expected?

44. Tomorrow Canadians may elect "a caucus of Kuciniches and Sanderses"   
   
Thank you for starting this thread! I remember this from a few days ago and was wondering today how the election was going.

This is something to celebrate, if indeed they win!

:lmao:

81. 11PM - CBC CALLING CON MAJORITY...   
   
CONS 164, NDP 109, LIB 30, BQ 3, GRN 1

Percentage shares of vote as of last time shown:
CONS 40, NDP 31, LIB 20

Ignatieff is definitely losing his seat, Rae (his in-party opponent) has taken Toronto Center.

NDP is picking up 70 SEATS.

Sigh.

83. I've said it for years.
   
Bob Rae would have made a better Lib Leader than Iggy. Now I can rub it in my bro-in-law's face.

85. I am so pissed off. How can Canadians be so ****ing stupid? And I'm pisssed off with the NDP
   
though my family's been NDP since it started. Very pissed that their ads went after the Liberal leader Ignatiff instead of Harper. Big ****ing deal the NDP is in oppostion that means dick all when the COnservatives have a majority.

I voted NDP stragetically to prevent a this from happening. This is disasterous.

21. It begins to look like the only democratic countries will be Arab ones.
   
Wouldn't that be a switch?

27. The media is saying that the Conservatives won a majority, am so
   
surprised. How can they call a majority when we just finished voting an hour and a half ago?

I am really angry. I campaigned for the Liberals but after the smear against Ignatieff, I knew the Libs won't win, so changed my support to the NDP. Some of us Canadians just don't want change! I have a feeling if the bloc quebecois was not running in Quebec, the NDP would have won.

26. I feel for you, I really do. We, here in Wisconsin voted in a guy
   
worse than Harper. I still am stunned by it-and sad.

Umm, maybe your ideology just doesn't resonate with the majority? ya think?

I've worked in the polls before and they're set up very efficiently. Count the results take very little time based on how things are set up.
