Yeah same. It was quick. Strangely, I read on Radio-Canada that there was a shortage of election workers and that waiting could be longer this year. I guess I was lucky.

Voted Bloc. They are head to head with the liberal Jean-Yves Duclos in my riding (Québec). If Duclos wins, I won't be sad. I kinda like him.

I heard the same thing and so I went at 10am thinking that would be a slow time.  I was talking to one of the election staff and she told me they were completely empty in the early morning and I had come at a high volume time.  So I got the timing all wrong, but really they were not that busy, so I am a bit worried that turnout is going to be low for this election, at least in my riding.

Voting took about 10 minutes for me.  I made it there for 4:30, so not quite the after-work rush but seemed like it was building.  About the typical length.

The orange wave is certainly not starting in the maritimes... :(

The problem with your recent turn as an NDP partisan is that I don't know if this is you pretending to be progressive and thus disappointed, or whether you're genuinely disappointed because you were hoping for an NDP wave to undermine the Liberals :D

I voted back in advanced polling. I had to wait 1 hour. It was a mistake.

I should have voted in advanced polling, I couldn't make it in time tonight.  Oh well.

Still hoping for a minority Conservative government.

Won't happen.

CBC just called a Liberal victory.

I believe in redemption, yes.

I was not, however, completely convinced by your recent turn as progressive partisan :(

Not again!  :(

Oh well.  Hopefully, they won't have a majority.  I'll be curious about the Greens and PPC score, and where they scored the most.

If the current elected + leading holds (which is still a bit early), it looks like a minority Liberal government that can rely on either the BQ or the NDP to pass something.

So 600+ millions later and we get the same parliament. Great job Trudeau.

I can't believe people turned up the chance to vote for dreamy Jagmeet Singh in favour of that corrupt piece of shit Trudeau.

Fixed it for you.  No need to thank me.

It was expected. It was either a minority PLC or a minority PCC.
