I hope that this dramatic swing to a loss kills culture war politics as a path going forward, but I'm not optimistic.

Didn't Blanchet say he was open to the discussions? But the issue I think is Legault is against them. So that could be an interesting battle if Blanchet sided with the Liberals on it.

Anything but a minority at this point would be shocking.

Lets say the Liberals get 170 seats.

Can they convince 2 NDP members to cross the stage? Especially if they are not an official party.

Keep an eye out for a backdoor Con+BQ coalition...

Has any party promised to address this imbalance?

[#-3]

sure they're at less than 2000 votes, buy buhhaha hahahaha at Fanjoy leading Poilievre by 16% right now,

also 9 candidates currently with 1 vote. Do you think they felt obligated to vote for themselves.

That's not true. The cons could support a liberal government to get an east pipeline through.

New York Time has a better setup for the Canadian election than almost every single Canadian news entity, all people want to do is look at a map, click riding to riding and see the status. F'in hard to find. Embarrassing Canada

All the conservative #### posters here are less informed than I thought, "Super Majority", "Electoral College", "Called before the polls closed in Alberta" (when the Alberta polls had been closed for 45 minutes and several Alberta ridings had already been reported).

I actually think 3 parties have a legitimate case at claiming success here. The Bloc looking at a fairly high seat total in a pretty bi-polar election. The Conns out preforming most polls, and the liberals probably maintaining status quo at worst. NDP and Greens, sorry you have to admit loss.

If Libs + NDP+Grn holds the balance of power that would be a huge win for the NDP and greens so you could have every party claiming victory tonight.

Thankfully PP can fall back on his strong private sector work in... eating an apple smugly?

I like gays, but just the female types!

Maybe fiscally conservative, socially liberal? I know a lot of people who believe this.

I don't understand what progressive means anymore, so that one I'm lost.

Obviously the Liberals were going to use social conservatism as a scare tactic, but PP didn't help himself out by trying to play the "woke" game and getting combative with the media.

Wish I wasn't saying this but... Liberal lead shrinking fast. GTA showing big Con overperformance...

[getbak]

Who are the Bloc more aligned with? Depending on how the numbers fall, could the CPC and BQ try to work together to form a coalition?

How awesome would a Bloc/CPC coalition be?

I'm been out of the loop with Canadian politics for the most part since I left. Is Carney any better or worse than Trudeau?

[GGG]

I wonder how nervous the decision desks are right now.

I would say quite the upgrade.

[The Big Chill]

How are they still so confident when it’s down to 6 seat lead?
