BQ is being mangled in Quebec. 60 NDPs in advance, one elected. Only 6 BQ in advance. :bleeding:

I'm going insane, bangling my head on the wall.

Down to 4.

TVA gives a Majority Government to Harper.

I called it an hour ago!

I think the over-reported NDP surge scared many Toronto Liberals to the PC.

What's also encouraging is that senior ministers of the current govt in Quebec are being beaten.  Hmmm  This new NDP will be seriously Qc centric - yet also acceptable for outsiders.

Sadly Justin Trudeau is still surviving  <_<

They're doing better than expected in Toronto. (The Cons). Their overall vote percentage hasn't seemed to change much, but they're winning seats. A lot of them may be very close though. Iggy's having a tough ride in his own riding.
I noticed that the Tories were leading inside the 401, which sounded weird to me.

Iggy deserves to lose.  Parachuting candidates are usually pretty bad.

I was hoping for a minority gov't again - but I'm happy if Iggy loses in my riding.

Duceppe is officially defeated in Laurier-Sainte-Marie.

The Cons will get their majority in the 416 area code.

And Toronto fucks the country yet again. Then they wonder why everybody hates on them <_<

I thought it was because the Leafs are a bunch of losers.

Over-reported?

It's an NDP sweep of historic dimensions.

They have crushed the Bloc and damn near crushed the Libs!

So... the Bloc will likely commit suicide after tonight.  That should be enough to whip the PQ into a frenzy.  ^_^

And I'm watching Thomas Mulclair speaking before his own partisans.  There's the next NDP leader methinks - a man acceptable for Quebec's nationalists.

Liz may get her seat finally. That means she gets on the debate next time.  :(

Although with Harper's dicta...majority, we probably won't get a next time. A decade's worth of proroguing.


CBC just called it MAJORITY

Grallon

This is good.  As I said Harper will abuse this majority and then we'll be able to flush out the Conservatives.

This has certainly been an interesting election, regardless of which party one supports. Who could have predicted the rise of the NDP in Quebec? Also I'm quite pleased to see that the Conservatives are set to win a majority.
