Yikes. Awful numbers for the Conservatives. Could be a byproduct of strategic voting though.

Turnout is "strong" and "brisk" in Calgary Centre. Interpret how you wish.

Random question: does Canada have the same "if you're in line when polls closed then you get to vote" standard as U.S. elections? I'm aware that line-ups are rarely longer than 15 or 20 minutes so it's not really as much of an issue.

NDP far ahead of the Liberals in Durham for the silver medal. Tories under 50%.

Turnout in Calgary Centre will be lucky to break 25% at this pace.

Probably just one of the Oak Bay polls; calm down.

Totally meaningless but amusing: Greens are averaging a higher voter share than the Grits.

While the Victoria result is impressive, for their next act the Greens should win a seat not on Vancouver Island.

I guess I root for the NDP in general, but given how far away the next election is I don't really think losing this seat will make much of a difference, and it'd be kind of neat to see the Greens with two seats.

Kind of neat that both competitive by-elections tonight were competitive between two different parties. Such diversity!
