Canada: GovGen dissolves Parliament, Carney drops the writ, and the election is on!

He didn’t have a seat, did he?

I think map guy is from Nova Scotia or N&L from his accent.

No, I don’t believe he did. But I’m sure that he was dropped into a riding where he’d have a reasonable chance.

Nope. If what flew by on my TV screen was what I thought I saw, he came dead last out of four candidates.

I think the Liberals will come up short of a majority, but it won’t much matter; they’ll be close enough to cut deals with the NDP. The Conservatives can’t force an election anytime soon.

Is correct according to the webs.

David Cochrane is a Newfie. His accent is slight, but there. Unless you are a caper, Bluenosers accents are just as slight thou. Would make the same mistake.

I love the Green Party candidate pictures. They’re all 24 years old and don’t own a suit, happily smiling above a count of 183 votes.

With one poll reporting, Fanjoy is leading PP by almost 180 votes.

This makes me very happy, but I think it’s going to have to wait until I wake up to confirm.

Beat me to it, Horatius. Only one poll, but we’ll have to see once a trend appears.

CBC shot of CPC headquarters made me chuckle. So mad, much disappoint.

I’m pretty sure Beauce has been his riding since he was elected as a Conservative.

They can go back to that as often as they want to.

Watching election coverage without ads is fucking awesome.

Now now…win with grace…nah …fuckem.

Alberta:

Liberals leading in:

Calgary Centre
Calgary McKnight

Tories leading or elected in the rest; but in some ridings, it doesn’t seem to be the walkover that the Tories expected in Alberta.

Post deleted.

162 and counting.

CTV is calling a Liberal minority.

ETA: Have polls closed in BC yet?

Yes, they closed at 10pm EST/7 PST

Cruel.
