Yup. Bluecollar working class suburb. Feels quite a bit like the Hamilton or Windsor of the Maritimes to be honest.

And even though Beauce will be only contested in the next general election, this same poll indicates that the race in Beauce between Richard Lehoux and Maxime Bernier with Leroux leading with 37.9 % of the voting intentions over Bernier's 34.5 %. But as the PLC won 22 % of the vote in Beauce in 2015 and as the PLC candidate would be getting 31 % in Beauce in the next election according to the website Too Close to Call, I think the PLC will try to get a strong candidate there in order to make Beauce winnable for Justin Trudeau's PLC in 2019 thanks to the division of the conservative vote there.

Quitto Maggi doesn't have a great track record.

Quitto Maggi doesn't have a great track record.

On provincial and federal results overall, Mainstreet is pretty good, but on municipal and riding less so.  For example in BC, the overall horserace numbers were right, but individual riding polls were way off.  For Quebec and Ontario, though the final seat projection was actually pretty close although the one big miss in Ontario was Parry Sound-Muskoka, which he predicted would go NDP and wasn't even close.

I guess I can kind of see it. The Liberals are up in Quebec, so if they take some votes from the Bloc/NDP, and the 2018 Tory vote splits perfectly between Bernier and the Tories, I guess the Liberals could squeak through in a Gatineau-2008 type result.

Still think Bernier wins re-election though.

This will be interesting as Jagmeet Singh's former riding is now open.  Will he run there or stay with Burnaby South.  I think due to his ties to the community, Brampton East would be a better bet.

Jagmeet has basically poured himself into Burnaby South, moving now would look very very bad, it would look opportunistic and nothing more (i'm a NDP'er and think he should stay put in Burnaby). Tough call really, and part of me thinks the LPC is doing this on purpose (mildly cynical eh). IF he did move to run in Brampton East, the NDP has basically written off Burnaby South ever again, really, and this is still a winnable seat.
Just leave it NDP, find a strong candidate in Brampton (there is an NDP city Councillor, Dhillon, who previously ran for them, start casting the net) the city has quite the NDP grassroots and developing base thanks in part to Singh. The party holds 3 of the 5 seats provincially. Even in 2015, without Singh, they polled above the national vote % in Brampton East.

Tough call. He very well could go down in Burnaby, and presumably he'd win Brampton East in a landslide. You're right, it would be crazy opportunistic though.

Raj Grewal resigned to deal with a gambling problem, so Brampton East being freed up is just a weird coincidence, not the Liberals playing House of Cards style 4D chess.

Jagmeet should run in Brampton.  It doesn't seem opportunistic, it seems smart.  No one is under an illusion that Jagmeet is moving there just for fun. It's because a seat came open.  Now one is opening in an area he formerly represented.  The NDP is better off playing it safe for their leader.

Grewal cancelled his resignation and was kicked out of the Liberals for doing so.

There is chatter, that this was bait... the LPC was trying to bait Mr. Singh to run back "home", and it failed and this is the second now Liberal MP who looks messy about resigning-not-resigning. This is also starting to look very bad for Mark Holland who can't seem to do his job.

I don't agree with the idea he should have run in Brampton East AFTER committing to Burnaby. As mentioned above, jetting out of Burnaby South would have given the seat to the LPC, now it is competitive still but Jagmeet would have looked bad and that would have left a bad taste for those who would/could vote NDP. He showed class by sticking to the new seat, it's fitting with the narrative that he's not your typical politician, or some of the narrative around him. Yes Burnaby South was an opportunity to get a seat, but unlike most every other leader who has done this, Jagmeet committed and moved there and make this his home, not just a way into parliament.
Had Brampton East come vacant first, this would not be an issue. To me this has done nothing but help Jagmeet in Burnaby South (here's hoping)

Are you all looking forward to the John “The Engineer” Turmel surge tonight?

Only two hours until polls close.  My thinking is this is the Tories to lose so I would be shocked if the Tories don't hold this, but there is a slight outside chance of a Liberal pickup, but unlikely and if they win it would be a huge boon for the Liberals and massive embarrassment for the Tories.  Rather looking at the numbers here is how I would interpret results by party

Conservatives

Over 60% is a very good night.  Federally in 2011 and provincially in 2018, the Tories got over this

50-60% a good showing, but nothing too unusual, that is usually what they get around

Under 50% This is one of the few ridings where Tories usually get over 50% so anything under 50% even if they win is a bad night.  Even in the 2014 provincial election and 2004 federal they cracked the 50% mark despite poor showings overall.  They did fall below in 2015 federally however, but that was not a good showing either.

Liberals


Over 40% - Excellent showing even if they fall short as in the last quarter century, they've only done this twice (1993 and 2015) and both were solid majorities


30-40% - Very good showing, almost anytime the Liberals have gotten over 30%, they've gone on to form government


20-30% - Okay as this seems to be their default but not great


Under 20% - Bad night, usually if they get under 20% they do poorly overall, provincial 2018 and federal 2008 and 2011.


NDP

Over 20% - Outstanding showing, even 2011 federally and 2018 provincially they were unable to crack the 20% mark.

10-20% - Average to good showing

Under 10% - Lousy showing but considering the NDP's polling numbers now, wouldn't be surprised if they get under 10%.

Too bad the PPC wasn't able to put up a candidate as this might be the first look at whether they are gaining any traction thus risk of vote splitting or as Nanos suggests nowhere.

so far 59% Conservative, 34% Liberal, NDP and Green around 3%. That makes Turmel only 3% from third place.

Not sure, I don't really get what that means. Which party is Turkel?

So far Tories doing not too bad, it will be interesting to see if they get over or under 60%.  While Liberals well behind, they are over the 30% mark so from a historical perspective that is actually fairly good for this riding and bodes well for them overall.  NDP is doing horrible down in low single digits.
