Canada 2008: Official Results Thread

[War on Want]

Conservatives leading in a PEI riding...

Egmont?  What about that one Quebec riding that usually reports early?

BQ leads, Libs second there. Tories third lol.


I heard 75% for Jack Harris. Lol.

Interesting. The Conservatives were within ten in Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine in 2006. If they fell to third, either the Liberals have resurged majorly in Quebec or the Conservatives have collapsed there (or both).

If both then would the NDP or BQ be set up for some gains?

[Hash]

One poll left in Egmont. C'mon, go Liberals!

[Meeker]

Ontario and Quebec seats beginning to come in, nothing of significance yet...

[Хahar 🤔]

Wow. 1984?

I wouldn't mind that, really. It'll position the NDP well for next year's election.

The NDP will only win seats in Quebec outside of Outremont if they get quite lucky in Westmount-Ville-Marie, Hull-Aylmer or Gatineau (all three will swing quite independently of the rest of the province). The Bloc could stand to regain much of what they lost to the Conservatives in 2006, though, if the pattern held. The Liberals would gain a few Montreal-area ridings from the Bloc, too.

I wonder what would make Egmont vote for the Conservatives anyways? Isn't PEI pretty liberal?

Correct. 93 vote lead with one poll remaining.

Hmmm, I would have thought it was Cardigan at the other end of the province.  But I was just going by the fact that is was listed as "Too Close To Call" on that elections predictions site in 2004 when every other PEI riding was listed as Liberal.  Is Egmont generally the most likely PEI riding to go Conservative?  Or have all PEI ridings been Liberal since 1993 which is long enough ago that relative "Toryness" could certainly change?

Not liberal at all (in an American or a European sense). They are very Liberal, however.

RDI has one Green leading! Go Greenies!

PEI tends to go Liberal recently, but there seems to be a shift to the party in power after a government stays in power a few elections.  They've voted for the old Tories (Progressive Conservatives) in the past.

I was surprised to see that but there are like 40 votes counted lol.

Where? Guelph? If May lost Central Nova, that's the only place I could see them leading. BGOS is just too Conservative, although the Greens should get a strong second there, and Nunavut will come in very late.

I meant as in Liberal Party. Whoops forgot to capitalize.

[War on Want]

Cool 2 NDP seat gains, I'll take it.

[Hash]

Liberals second in Saint-Hyacinthe-Bagot.

Christian Paradis trails by 2 votes in early returns (very early).

I really hope the Tories  up in Quebec.

[Hash]

Forgot to say, Paradis is trailing the Liberal candidate, not the Bloc.

Can't wait for Beauce, for some reason.

[War on Want]

lol one Green candidate looks like a caveman. Not surprising though.

[Keystone Phil]

Oh wow! The Green candidate in the last seat that they showed looked like Gabu!

What seat was that, OOC?

[Smid]

Lots of Tory gains in NB. Stupid people.

I see you share Elizabeth May's views about Canadians being stupid.

[Хahar 🤔]

Where're you getting the results from?

[Hash]

Maxime Bernier leads NDP in Beauce with like 1 poll out.

For those who like to laugh, Layton is second in Toronto-Danforth with 1 poll out.

I forget, if I see it again I'll tell you. Is there a CBC election website?
