Hey the Greens are leading in one! In Fredericton, beating the Con by 600 votes and the incumbent Liberal by 800 votes. Damn tight three-way race, but come on Green!

At this rate, only 167 more elections until the Greens form the government!
Hmm, say there’s a liberal majority. Cons turf scheer as leader then no?
Here’s a nightmare scenario in that event. Bernier merges the PPC with the Cons and the Canadian right goes full crazy.
Oh, I'm counting on the Cons going crazy if they lose. Not sure if they merge with the PPC, but pretty sure they go crazy
Are you guys living in a world where the Cons have not already gone crazy?
Anyway, there's no chance in hell the Cons don't kick Scheer to the curb if he loses tonight. He's barely holding on to the party as it is. Which sucks for Bernier, he could have done a run for the leadership again a few months later, but now he's stuck with the PPC. I don't see why the Cons would welcome him back after he backstabbed them, most candidates in his party are CPC rejects, and he's polling at 1% so they don't exactly need his support. This isn't a Reform/PC situation for the CPC.

Compare the Canadian federal conservatives with any of the provincial conservative parties, let alone foreign conservative parties and tell me with a straight face that they are as extreme
If the cons lose, Scheer is out and I will put cash money on Kenney making a hard push for the leadership.
It’s been his end goal for a while.
This would be hilarious in many ways with all his current rhetoric as Alberta premier.

I wish CBC had a separate indicator for currently leading ridings and definitely final results ridings.
It's weird that lib seats where they're leading 45 to 33 with 200 stations to report are lumped in with ridings where they're leading 17,000 to 10,000 with 10 stations left to report.
Very torn on whether or not I want Bernier win his seat since if he doesn’t it will go Conservative
Bit of a kang kodoss situation

It's very much long-term vs short-term. If the PPC fails now it might just die in the crib and the Canadian right (while already plenty bad) might stop bleeding sanity.
If the PPC manages to get even a toehold, it means the Conservatives might lose enough votes to fail hard this election and we get a Liberal minority who do a coalition with a strong-ish NDP...but if that happens the PPC could very well hollow the Tories out and devour them from the inside like the Reform party did, and we all know how that went from the last time.
The obvious golden middle ground of "PPC crashes and burns and Conservatives still have a bad night" still feels unlikely at this point.

I don't like this CBC sentiment of "The Liberals are having a good night" while I watch the tracker lead skirt down around 20 seat leads at time.
Of course, the other, probably larger, contributor is the way they're doing this "Post the results to the tracker immediately even if we only had 5 more votes added".

I voted in advance last week, but I remember being slightly amused to realize I was wearing my Canada 150 sweater to the polling station.

Thunder Bay has done worse.

oh and not regular mr. burns. burns pretending to be cool is ok i guess
Want, in an impossible dream world? NDP.
Want, in a realisitc scenario? Liberal minority working with NDP.
Dream unicorn fairy-tale possibility? NDP.
Realistically? Liberal plurality but not a majority (where they need to work with the NDP in order to from government).

I mean, this ideally, but yeah
it did!
I only know Trudeau because he's hunky and I'm sorry but that's how this American votes in Canadian elections.
ABC
Here’s a nightmare scenario in that event. Bernier merges the PPC with the Cons and the Canadian right goes full crazy.
Trudeau's not bad looking I admit but Jagmeet Singh (NDP) is no slouch in that department!
Andrew Scheer (Conservative) looks like a seal mated with a slug.

Hmm okay, then NDP and Liberal may kiss.

On the other hand, the riding is Maxime Bernier's and could possibly knock the People's Party off the board.
Hmmmmmm.
