What is the best site to follow this in Canada?

I feel like I should support the Conservatives here. What is their platform?

Go Conservatives.

I ate maple syrup this morning in honor of election day. When will the results be announced? Who is leading the polls?

No kidding, the US media would have declared a winner by now. The western provinces can't swing a vote that much, can they?

Canadian Conservatives are prolly too left-wing for you FW. You want to vote for the Christian Heritage Party.

Polls are open until 9:30PM Eastern in Ontario. Final results won't be known before late into the night. There are literally no people in the Atlantic timezone(s?)

Okay so for those who are not aware, the Prime Minister is not elected through popular vote but through seats won by their party.

This is what a Canadian election prediction looks like:

Liberals: 170
Conservative: 98
New Democrat: 64
Bloc Quebecois: 5
Green: 1


That is not my prediction but just for demonstration purposes. That right there would be the Liberal wet dream where they win more than half the 338 seats, a majority.

Kinda feel like a minority is more likely. Something like this?


Liberals: 155
Conservative: 117
New Democrat: 59
Bloc Quebecois: 6
Green: 1

On the surface, i'll pass.

Liberal shutout so far.

[Mudcat]

Well, well. Look what happened while I have been watching the ball game.

He really does look lobotomized, Harper.

Big news here, was on every channel.

Hopefully he ends up doing more drugs than Rob Ford.

First word on the NY Times's front page is Trudeau.

Even The New Yorker had to chip in its two cents.

Serious Canadian boner right now, down in Canada's pants.

Front page of both Chicago newspapers are about the Cubs.

The Chicago Tribune doesn't even have a "World" subsection on their website.

Explains a lot.
