I'm really happy to be dead wrong when it comes to the PPC popular vote. I was expecting them to do much better than the 2% popular vote as polled because I thought people voting for them would be ashamed to admit it to a pollster.

Canada, I love you. :allears:

LOL Vancouver is loving going Conservative because of NDP and JWR vote splitting

I really really don't understand the sudden resurgence of conservatism as an ideology this decade and what exactly people think it offers them. CBC practically reading the NDP's death knell here. I really don't understand what it's gonna take besides demographics, but even then I see a lot of young conservatives these days and I just don't understand again why

There has always been a lot of young conservatives. It's not a new thing and the symptoms are the same. It's mostly kids who inherit it from their parents.

the NDP have seemingly given up trying to contest conservative strongholds. if you're a rural, hate the liberals, and aren't in northern ontario who are you going to vote for?

I feel dirty, voting strategically and still not winning, even if Nirmala got closer than anyone else in Calgary.

Still, at least the cons are salty over not winning either, nationally, so that's something.

A lot of Ontario is still counting so the Lib popular vote is probably going to keep climbing as those report in.

People love the idea that they can become successful merely via bootstrapping themselves to victory.

Is there a comprehensive site on the racism throughout the PPC? A friend is very misguided

Alright CBC finally has the elected liberals past where the leading Conservatives can possibly catch them. I can finally unclench a little. 2016 US Elections always have me wondering about last minute surprise windfalls for right wingers.

there are rarely those kinds of surprises because two of the most important provinces are counted almost immediately.

Still don't get how they can call the election so early with margins this close. I guess there's a lot of confidence in the ridings Liberals are leading.

The news organizations have a much more detailed feed from the elections. It details things like poll box by poll box numbers and the like, allowing them to do statistical analysis on the fly of each riding. (There literally is a room of math geeks at a couple of the news organizations like cbc and ctv). CTV used to have a rule (might still do) that they wouldn't call anything until they had a 99.9% assurance of the result.

They're looking for things like "which way does box 17, 73, 104 go, as they were the closest last time". (I'm grossly simplifying it).

I knew a strategic vote didn't stand a chance in my riding, so I voted true. But I was surprised and pleased to see someone on my street with a Green lawn sign, that takes balls here. Never thought I would see someone here be that bold.
