10:05 PMI'm watching the coverage on CTV. Wish just a little bit that I was in Ottawa - this sort of stuff is just too fun to watch with other people. But it's still terribly exciting. We're currently at a projectedLib: 17 Con: 10 NDP: 4 Ind:1 Green:0 BQ:1
and only the East Coast is reporting in yet.Poor Elizabeth May, though. She campaigned here, and honestly I'm surprised she got the support she did - this is such a traditionally strong Conservative stronghold. Watching an interview with Peter MacKay right now. I can't believe this is happening less than a kilometre away.Wow, his fifth consecutive victory in Central Nova. I believe it.He's got 5,000 votes on her.10:20 PMGood point she (Elizabeth May) just made - in 2006 she had some 600 votes, the mere fact that she's at 10,000 some now is fantastic. Also true that our community is pretty poor.DOES SHE REGRET NOT RUNNING IN LONDON?Nope. They've got a graph up suggesting that he Liberal vote has gone Green. She's gaining, she may not have won but she's gaining. 10:30 PMTurnout numbers? 61% overall. 67% in PEI, 60% in NS and NB.Nice point - "Fully 4 in 10 people just didn't bother."10:40 PMResults starting to come in from Quebec, let's hear the analyst...Lib: 29 Con: 24 NDP:8 BQ:5 Green: 0 Ind:1
The results are changing too quickly, going to have to wait for those polls to settle.The NDP has 29% of NSs popular vote! That's tied with the Liberals!10:50 PMThey're now projecting a Conservative minority government, possibly close to a Conservative majority. The Green has a seat!The numbers are still changing incredibly quickly. They're doing an interview in the Con headquarters, they're chanting "Harper" in the background. 64 seats now to the Liberals 52.Ontario's coming in too - mad quick numbers. Cons 10 - no, 11 seats ahead of the Liberals. The Conservatives won a seat on PEI by 62 (!!!) votes, that's crazy!11:05 PMCons are up to 114 projected seats, and we're barely into Ontario. Maybe we'll have a majority?Oh, ew, a Conservative majority...Con: 115 Lib: 70 BQ: 34 NDP: 26 IND: 2
I mean *ew*.I'm very interested in seeing how Ottawa - Vanier goes, just because I'm not there :) Should be up soon, it's ten past ten there.Sarnia's voted (well, is projected to vote) Conservative, their candidate is leading.11:20 PMResults coming in from the prairies, though I don't see how - it's only twenty past seven there. Hm. Ah well. Nothing quickly, just enough to project that Stephen Harper should win his riding.Well, I should hope.Heh, they're watching CBC in the background on CTV. Cons are 24 seats from a majority. Still pretty well dealing with Ontario.11:30 PMPaul Dewar got Ottawa Centre. C'mon, show Vanier...
All polls are closed. Let's see what happens in the West!
John Baird got Ottawa West - Nepean.
11:40 PM
Apparently the projection system says the Cons cannot achieve more than 153 seats. They're at 140, BC should be starting to come in soon.
Con: 142 Lib: 77 BQ: 47 NDP: 32 Ind: 3
And they've declared Ignatieff won his riding. I'm glad - rather would have liked to have seen him lead the party rather than Dion. We'll see.12:10 AMI like this SeatTracker bar && graph Macleans has going on. I should graph some of these numbers later, just for kicks. Cons were up to 147, they're now at 144. 11 seats to a majority - but it doesn't seem too likely.12:40 AMNot much fluctuation now.They're saying Dion is out, that next May will be a Liberal Leadership Convention. He's only got 74 seats, and he was advised that he needed 85-90 seats to keep the leadership convention.Also said that since the Liberals don't have much money, so there will be pressure on him to step down.We'll see.Con: 144 Lib: 74 BQ: 50 NDP: 38 Ind: 2
12:50 AM
The Outrement riding computer system has been counting backwards for 45 minutes.1 AMJack Layton speech is good.Perhaps not honest - c'mon, they got 37 seats - but oh my, I do enjoy the NDP.That's quite a list of things to fight for there, dearie.Childcare, Senior help, pharmaceuticals, health care, to make Canada a global peace force again, the environment, the economy, families...The NDP've gained 6 seats, though. All we need to do is continue that trend for another ten years and we're an opposing power...1:15 AMDion's speech.NDP's up to 38 seats. The most they've ever had is 43, that means they're actually getting somewhere....protect Canadians from the economic storm....top priority the economy...Canada does its part to fight the climate change crisisWHY THE FUCK didn't they run a candidate in Central Nova?! I would've voted for them...Con: 144 Lib: 76 BQ: 48 NDP: 38 Ind: 2
