We're all waking up Canadians tomorrow.

Out of thanks but I agree.

I'm a first-time voter, I voted Liberal... not because I like Trudeau, not because I'm partisan, but because I wanted to contribute and have my say. It's my civic duty as a Canadian.

For that, I'm proud.

Good riddance Goodale.

[OMG!WTF!]

Wonder if those guys lining up to buy TMX have their checks ready.

Which map?

So are any seats in Saskatchewan red?

Too funny the election after Trudeau reneges on electoral reform he wins the election while losing the popular vote.

PFTP wouldn't be as infuriating if Canada at least had a triple E senate to balance the house.

Naw Dude, I’m just messing around, everyone should exercise their right to vote, you never know what can happen.

If it's the difference between the Liberals staying in power or not, it's not exactly rocket science to explain why he may sway.

Oh, is he going to get negative seats in Alberta next election?

Garbage. Anyone who votes is not wasting their time.

I could forgive the SNC thing, because frankly I don’t know how to weigh the harshness of the punishment that SNC would be subjected to versus what it had done. I would have liked to see Trudeau stand up more for our interests in Alberta. While he was protecting Quebec employees at SNC, he should have also been saying, “sorry Quebec, you will now buy Canadian oil only”.

Nah because I align with their policies and I feel opposed to conservative politics... I didn't do it out of tribalism or adherence to a specific leader or regional ideology

Should've been more specific. My apologies

No ones buying until it’s built or with a huge damage clause if cancelled.

Platitudes only take you so far, if you live in Alberta your vote means very little on the national stage.

Are you really equating Trudeau's lying, corruption & scandals with Trump's lying, corruption & scandals?

My eyes rolled back into my head so fast they are still spinning.

If you mean the interactive map then you need to blow it up to look at the Toronto area. It’s not huge geographically, but it’s where a good chunk of the population and seats are.

The area around Toronto sometimes goes Conservative and it was always going to be a key in this election. It’s mostly red tonight and a lot of those races weren’t close.

It’s not going to effect them staying power dude. No one is voting for them because of their disastrous record throughout their four years on energy. Get that through your head.

What's the defining policy that made you vote Liberal?
