The last person to do that on a Canadian news broadcast got their life ruined. Brave man.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;48940882]Albertans here on the radio were talking about how Harper should have stacked the senate so that any NDP/Lib victory would be meaningless.[/QUOTE]
What a few Albertans on the radio said doesn't justify automatically protesting because the result wasn't what you wanted.
[QUOTE=Thlis;48940846]I really dislike this sort of "democracy so long as my party wins" attitude that a number of posters here have.
The results are going to fluctuate because not all have them have been counted yet.[/QUOTE]
I'm talking about sudden inexplicable "tweaking" of the numbers, not democracy providing an unexpected result after early predictions proved incorrect. There is a difference.
And given the CPC's history in the last two elections of Elections Act violations and the definite steps taken by the Harper Government™ to defang Elections Canada since the last election, it would not be an insane conspiracy theory to examine unexpected reversals. It would be an insane conspiracy theory to suggest that's happening tonight based on the complete lack of evidence available to us at the moment.
22 seats to majority for the Liberals (from early polls)

BC polls coming in soon.....we all know what that means.
Some tight battles in Ottawa right now. Surprised to see Dewar struggling against McKenna
Bloq might actually get a few seats this time around. Huh.
I keep looking away from the screen and the fucking conservatives keep getting more.
What freaks are voting for these people???
Edited: It did it again! What the fuck?

Alberta. Enough said.
Worth noting that one of the few NDP MPs in Quebec holding their seats is Ruth Ellen Brosseau, who perhaps best symbolized the Orange Wave of the last election as a candidate who had never set foot in their riding, didn't speak french, and had traveled to Las Vegas during the campaign for a birthday party.
Good for her, seems she made a positive impression on her constituents.
5 more seats until a majority liberal government!

All you've said this entire election has been horribly immature insults towards Conservative voters. They are not freaks, or idiots, or assholes, they're people with a different opinion than you. That's how democracy works. Grow up.

Well his name is Trudeau, Alberta's god Peter Laugheeds arch rival.
according to polls right now, Liberals have the seats to form a majority government
Now I [i]really[/i] hope Trudeau goes back on the TPP.
The liberals have 170+ seats, they have won a majority government.

Fucking vote splitting happened in my riding. Cons are currently leading with 55%, followed by NDP with 22% and Liberals with 18%. That's only 3 polls reporting though and I feel like we have enough progressives here who can agree on one party to vote for to unseat a Conservative MP in southern Alberta. A lot of people I know voted NDP.

They're only elected in 40 though.
Yeah the rest are leading. Don't get your hopes up too high.
Olivia Chow is out in Toronto. Hot damn.

It's not going to happen immediately, calm down.

Stephen Harper is only leading his riding by 700 votes.

yea how will that go through,.?

Mulcair is up by less than 50.
Who can the NDP even turn to for their new leader at this point?

A bottle of whisky.
CP24 declaring a liberal majority.
Trudeau is the only leader who's elected so far.
My dad woke up in time to see the results.
I was really hoping he wouldn't.
