All my CTV/Global time shift channels have a ‘This channel is currently broadcasting out-of-market coverage of the federal election, so go fuck off’ placard. Including the one that’s suppose to have Castle on right now, so according to Twitter…Slytherin 3, Hufflepuff 2.
Oh, man! You know what’s gonna happen if Slytherin gets in!
According to the report Harper was being intereviewed and said “I hope people vote Conservative” or some such thing.
If that’s against the law… well, Jesus, gimme a break. If it had been a paid ad or something that’s one thing, but someone asks you for your comments, you say that, and that’s against the law? Seriously?
I tried reading the relevant sections of the Criminal Code and couldn’t find anything that made that illegal anyway, but it’s a tough read.
Here’s the audio: it’s about 24 seconds before the end, he says ‘I encourage people to do like me and vote Conservative’ (or close enough, I’m not listening 3 times, sorry).
I took a look at the Globe and Mail results page. No results there–not that I expected any from the Globe before polls close out here, which they will do in 20 minutes or so. But they seem ready to go. I’ll keep monitoring.
Even more politicians speaking in Parseltongue? 
ETA: if you want tweets that aren’t all jokes, someone at tweettheresults did put in a useful search parameter.
If I read that right, in a very extreme and unlikely hypothetical (if campaigning on the day of the vote counts as one of the "certain offences), the Conservative party could be deregistered and have all its assets liquidated? I know it won’t happen (and I don’t think it should) but… if it’s a possibility, why would you be so stupid as to risk it? I’d like to think the Prime Minister has some clue about how Elections in Canada work, you know?
I’ve figured out the code. The SDMB has revealed it to me…obviously the coolest party will win, so it’s the NDP Orange Crush 
See, it even confirms it with this reference to Layton…:o
Harper ends up :eek:
Ignatieff ends up :mad:
The Greens must get at least one seat, because they’ve been praying so much :rolleyes: but end up happy :p:D
And the rest of the population is torn between :dubious::);):smack:
Well, if you listen to the audio linked above, you’ll see Harper is a little more culpable than that. The whole interview was about Osama getting killed and then the convo went something like:
<talk about soldiers being killed in Afghanistan>
Harper: We’ve always had good people willing to fight to protect our freedoms, such as the right to vote which we’re currently exercising.
Good: Did you vote yet?
Harper: Yes I did and I encourage all Canadians to vote. In fact, I’d like them to all vote like I did, Conservative.
Good: Ha ha. Well thank you. We too encourage all of our listeners to vote, but the way that you feel is best.
Not that I think he should be “liquidated” over it or anything.
Well, polls have closed in MDT. CBC and Global are broadcasting results, but as I type this, CTV seems to be off the air. Wonder what’s happening there?
ETA: Just now, CTV is back on. No sound though.
ETA2: Now we’ve got sound, but no picture. And now, no sound either! This is almost comical.
:: seven minutes to go ::

OK, we got Lloyd up in BC, safe to talk
OK, It’s 7:03 BC time.

:: looks at preliminary map from the CBC ::
Holy crap!
If it’s safe to talk then I just got to say: Bloq be going down! Wowsers.
Jack’s moving to Stornoway!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Conservative majority predicted by me!
WOW!
Jesus Christ! That’s a lot of blue in Southern Ontario, and a lot of orange anywhere else. Where is matt anyway, he should be in here doing flips.
No votes for the Communists in Guelph yet…
He’s doing well in the Bible Belt ridings, but doesn’t seem to be much of a threat elsewhere.
And I see Danny William’s ghost continues to haunt the Conservatives in Nfld
