All of these elections on the same date (three days from now)?

No!

PEI and NWT are today, Manitoba is tomorrow.

Oh, lol.

And my final post on the NWT election is this:

Sorry but this is pathetic. The "live election coverage" is not even reporting on live election coverage. It's just a bunch of natives speaking in their native language one after another in front of radio mics. I'm embarrassed to be in the same country as this. It's not a population thing, don't give me that, Yukon elections are exciting as you'll all see in a week. This? This... This is pathetic.

So? There are a lot of different languages to cover, should each have its own complete coverage?

Lol, there's a place called "Gimli" in Manitoba?

(wikies) Quite right. And with good reason, too.

NWT and Nunavut would be so much more fun with parties.

Precinct results are kind of fun as is, I had a look at some constituencies. Personal/Ethnic voting ftw!

[minionofmidas]

I loving Radio-Canada website.

Apparently, the ridings have official French names.
"Dawson Trail" is "Chemin-Dawson"

You call that French? "Chemin-Deaufils" would be French.

By comparison, how large a share of NWT is Yellowknife?

[minionofmidas]

The map is by winning party's share of the vote, not by lead.

Hanson racked in the Highest vote (in a three way race) with 63% of the vote

Elias (Vuntut Gwitchen) had the highest overall with 64%... but thats the riding with no NDP candidate... which boggles my mind since they held this riding before 2006!

It's a Reserve. *shrug*

b) the NDP has reason to go and vote, its a do-or-die night, the base, even if they dislike Link like most do, still don't want the party to die off, plus they have run a well oiled policy driven campaign. No one wants a BC 2001 repeat.

People don't react that way.

I'm talking about the base, the orange blooded voters... i know people who do vote like this

Yeah, of course. They're not enough to prevent, well, anything, though.

Rural implies agriculture as the major economic driver in the electorate

So no rural districts in the US House of Representatives then. Nice to have that cleared up.

There's a photo exhibition about Winnipeg's slummy Native hoods showing at the MMK in Frankfurt. I think I'll go.
