[Razgovory]

Congrats Canada.

NDP vote in Toronto just evaporated. Conservatives second in ridings they have no business in.

[crazy canuck]

The NDP is going to have a financial problem with the reduction in per vote funding they are going to receive after this collapse in the popular vote.

I'm going to enjoy the PP tears. I'm also going to have to endure the Fuck Carney flags everywhere here. Oh well.

Believe me, I long for the days of "Let's Go Brandon!"

This is the 1st election since the 2011 Orange wave that I didn't vote NDP.

Looks like BC is going to give the majority

Had to recheck, it's 12 seats to get official party status in the House of Commons.

They will have to work very hard to come back.

looking more and more like another Liberal minority.

There are some tiny redspots in Alberta around Calgary.

Really curious why so many of you non-Canadians are anti-Conservative.

Real story here is the collapse of the NDP vote.  Secondary story is fall of the BQ vote.

Conservative vote is up by the looks of it, but NDP->Liberal switchers are carrying it.

So that's how the democratic system works.  C'est la vie.

It's funny though - 20 years ago there were definitely Conservative/NDP voters.  NDP was a working class union party.  It's either the cultural issues / Jagmeet Singh being a bad leader, has cost the NDP a ton of support.

I'm tired of this dysfunctional parliament.

As much as I didn't like Trudeau and his govt, I think I would have preferred a majority Liberal govt this time around.  See what they can do for 4 years.

The margins are so thin in a lot of places. We might not know until tomorrow morning.

Unlike last time a Liberal minority will not depend on the NDP, for good and bad.
