This is the CBC's map updates: https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/federal/2025/results/

This is the aggregate projection (or one of them) where you can compare actual vs projected results, in case you want to estimate deviation from the projected results halfway through: https://338canada.com/

[Jacob]

The CBC also has an app - gem - which has election coverage: https://gem.cbc.ca/

Not sure how it works outside of Canada.

The rivalry between Newfoundland and Labrador continues I see.

Heh.

It's very early counting. Newfoundland and Labrador was projected (by 338) to go entirely Liberal. So if the results end up being a 3 / 4 split that's great news for Beeb and his Conservatives. But so far it's less than 10% of polls reported in each riding so still early.

[Valmy]

Ok, you are right. Barely any of the votes in the ridings they have shaded have been counted.

I guess I thought it was one of those deals where they wouldn't color in the constituency until it was called for one party or another. Right now it just means who is currently ahead.

Gotcha.

I am happy to report that voting was easy, no line up.  Took about 5 minutes

You don't need to get on Truth Social to read Trump's shit. The media dutifully broadcasts it to the world shortly thereafter.

Fuck I miss having a President who was never on Social Media.

I miss having politicians who were never on social media and contend themselves of traditional press conference when important subjects arose.

That times never coming back I'm afraid.

Gotcha.

I really have no idea if we count advanced voting first, or if the ballots are mixed with the others when they shed them.

I'm not sure it means anything at this point how they are colored.

[Jacob]

It means we can indulge in anxiety / hope (depending on affiliation) earlier and more frequently, if we're so inclined 

[Jacob]

The CBC has called a few ridings (4 Lib, 1 CPC)

Central Labrador is down as Conservative with 120/233 polls counted - at 59.9% CPC vs 39.2% Lib (and 2.3% NDP). 338 had it as a toss-up with a 51% chance to go Lib, 49% chance to go CPC.

Conservatives doing pretty well in Atlantic Canada so far

[Grey Fox]

Feels like Atlantic will have the same battlelines as before.
