Prediction: the Liberals form government again, with the Tories as official opposition. The NDP is almost level with the Tories on raw votes, but FPTP screws them over and they end up with like four seats.

And my wife has just told me it's time to take her to the hospital to have the baby. Have fun watching the debate guys.
Congratulations! Name the baby "Jack Layton." No matter the gender.

Momboquette is in third in Sydney-Whitney Pier. Looks like the Grits union-busting is helping the Dippers - they're way up. It's only one poll though.

The PC candidate is running away in Queens-Shelburne, which was an NDP seat.

Sackville-Beaver Bank is one to watch. All (major party) candidates within 10 votes of eachother.

Grits SORT OF HOLD Hants-West.

Traditionally a Tory stronghold, Hants-West's incumbent MP Chuck Porter was elected as a Tory in 2013, but crossed the floor to the Liberals in 2014. It stays with Porter.

EDIT: Burrill has also taken the lead in Halifax-Chebucto.

EDIT 2: Victoria-The Lakes and Pictou East both called for the Tories.

EDIT 3: As is Clochester-Musquodoboit Valley.

Disgraced former councillor Brad Johns is up in Sackville-Beaverbank, and the Tories are up in Cape Breton-Richmond. Both VERY surprising.
The anti BJ (lol) vote is being split between the Grit and the Dip.

EDIT: Cowell and Maguire sent back.

Despite looking good for the Tories early on, Bedford is held for the Grits.

EDIT: As is Annapolis (the Premier's seat) and Clare-Digby.

EDIT 2: Tories GAIN Queens-Shelburne from NDP.

Preston-Dartmouth, too.
Yeah. It's looking like the Grits will have anywhere from 23 to 26 seats with the NDP having as many as 10.

Weirdly, Baillie's seat hasn't been called yet.

Sackville-Cobiquard becomes the first NDP called seat.

At the same time, Grits hold Lunenburg West and the Tories hold Kings North & Cumberland North.

EDIT: NDP hold Halifax-Needham.

NDP gains back Cape Breton Centre, lost in a by-election to the Grits.

So I guess it's safe to say that the Grits underperformed their polling numbers.

Must elaborate: while a councilor he used discretionary funds to buy a giant animatronic Christmas tree.
The most Nova Scotia political scandal in history.
