Fair. We'll see what happens. I for one am glad there is change.

Feeling the pressure?

308 also had a liberal max of 185 and a 23% chance of out performing their high number. So these results are in line with the accuracy of the polling.

Law enforcement loves their easy pickings and pot is exactly that. I will say this, Harper was incredibly stupid to proclaim pot is worse than tobacco he deserves to lose an election just for that.

Exactly. It also spelled the end of NDP because people love an underdog.

It's head shaking on both sides, IMO. Has been from the start.

At least there is some good news outside of the Jays game. I actually like the guy because he makes me laugh, but he has no business in federal politics. Or any really.

Oh nice I get to post this again.

He squinted harshly at the night sky, stars whirling overhead, mixed through the miasma of cinder and smoke. Whether the tears tattooing lines in his haggard face were from ash or sadness, none could tell.

Interestingly it looks like it was a really late shift.

The final day polls from Nanos and Forum were pretty much correct:

Nanos
39.1 LIB
30.5 CPC
19.7 NDP
5.5 BLQ
4.9 GRN

Forum
40 LIB
30 CPC
20 NDP
6 BLQ
3 GRN

Matt Grant safely in the lead in Confederation now.

I love the hyper partisans when they lose. It's like drinking the tears of oilers fans. Especially with the garbage that was spewed. Doesn't matter which side wins the partisan melt downs are hilarious.

Why do people always believe there will be change when every time it is promised almost nothing changes? Is the expectation that Trudeau will actually do what he promised?

Still waiting for the GST to be eliminated.

I will take solace in the fact that the NDP is once more back to its proper place of being zero significance nationally.
Cheese to that!

When's the tailgate party?

Harper out isn't change? Sure it is.

And these are 1 day old so a continued shift liberals by a few points is reasonable.

There is a long standing tradition of the Liberals not fulfilling election promises.
We will see

It's not like that AT ALL. Not even close. The Oilers and Canucks losing is a whole different level.
