Thanks! I guess my CTV feed, while national, is only giving me Alberta ridings. Unless it’s an important candidate/riding (e.g. Chrystia Freeland, Carleton riding).
ETA to clarify: “Unless it’s an important candidate or an important riding (e.g. Chrystia Freeland, or what’s going on with Poilevre in Carleton riding, and so on).”
Heh, I should have said that I started seeing ads (Global News).
4 polls reporting, Fanjoy still in the lead, by about 230 votes now. Pulling away?
Yes, Liberals have been hovering around 158-162 in the CBC feed, but CBC hasn’t called it yet, I don’t think.
Carney elected in Nepean. Fanjoy a slight lead over Poilievre in Carleton.
Did CBC call it too soon?
Liberal 154
Conservatives 152
Bloc 25
NDP 10
Green 1
And now the Liberals are at 155 and Conservatives 149.
I’m kind of astounded at ridings that went NDP historically or at least the previous time voting conservative instead. It just feels like those are so far apart, I can’t understand the decision process.
Interesting how different these results appear to be compared to polls.
Yeah that’s so weird. That just doesn’t make any sense at all.
No, I think it is understandable. The Conservatives have been going after pocketbook issues. That can appeal to NDP supporters.
Chantal Hébert says that there’s not many polls counted in Carleton, but that the Liberal is ahead a bit.
Carleton just popped up. Fanjoy has a 1500 lead, but only 10 polls reporting.
“A bit” being almost 1000 votes now, with 8 polls reporting. I think Fanjoy is going to win.
CBC just showed he’s up by even more as I was typing
I like Rosemary Barton, she’s good at this.
But, like…everything else. I just don’t think there’s anything that could make me vote for a party so far from my values just because they talked about one thing that kinda aligned.
Northern Sask riding has been declared for Liberals. First time a Liberal’s been elected in Sask since 2015.
But if that one thing is the most important to you, why not? I think it’s understandable.
Singh is in third place in his riding.
May is leading in her riding.
Poilievre is in second in his riding.
Carney and Blanchet both declared elected.
I guess I don’t have a single thing that’s so important to me that I’d compromise everything else I value. This stuff should be complex, not a team sport without consequences.
Map guy is emphasising that the Atlantic results have been influenced by advance polls, with Liberals voting heavily in the advance polls there, flipping some of the earlier results, and that there are a lot of advance polls in Ontario yet to come.
