The razor thin margins that sound like they're only going to regress seems difficult to be too optimistic about
Welcome to the Mike Lake hellhole. I don't even know why this loser bothers with bombarding the area with his campaign signs. The other candidates are barely competing as is, but he still thinks he needs to to remind everyone to re-elect him with a million signs everywhere.

The five separatist shitheads so far are weird to see but otherwise, yes.
Parti Rhinocéros Party
Fondé en 1963, le Parti Rhinocéros Party offre une alternative presque crédible aux électeurs déçus par les partis traditionnels.www.partyrhino.ca
We sure do! Lol
I like how everything is THE NUMBER ONE priority haha
Toronto in shambles
The fearmongering about changing the electoral system seems pretty ludicrous. I interpret a lot of what's been said as something along the lines of "I don't want fair representation because I want to deny representation to people that I don't like or that I think are uneducated."
Like, undemocratic government is okay as long as it's undemocratic in your favour?
This isn't totally about what people have said in here, it's the same thing that politicians like Trudeau say to keep the system in their favour. I've moved to favour a STV multi-member riding setup.

I assume this is Bill Blair, it's so bizarre how hes so popular in SSW. I love when I see people with progressive lawn signs like hate has no home here and a Bill Blair sign right beside it. I volunteered for his opposition Guled whose a nice guy but needs more time to grow.
I'm assuming they are just ABC votes in QC where the Bloc is the only chance to beat CPC.
It's so on-brand for the Conservatives to end their campaign at a brewery. Gotta maintain the illusion that they're looking out for the working class.
Also, now I'm reconsidering my purchases of Amsterdam Brewery products. They have a couple of good ones, but now I know where they stand politically.
O'Toole has to appeal to the crazies in the West and moderates in Ontario. It's increasingly impossible to do both. He's not extreme enough for some and too extreme for moderates.
Speculation is Kenney wasn't supposed to call a state of emergency until after the election.
And once it drew attention to how bad Alberta is and how they opened up in July and O'Toole was there meeting donors along with Kenney it drove the point home that the conservatives will happily kill people with COVID for their own needs.

I took my niece there this morning for her first time voting. It was massive. Literally a polling station the size of Costco...because it's the old Costco.
Obviously early to tell, but, as someone living south of the border, should we be worried about you guys?

The worst-case scenario (CPC majority) is completely ruled out. A CPC minority (not good, but not worst case—similar to say, Republican Presidency with Dem control of congress) is possible. LPC minority is most likely, and LPC majority is possible (but unlikely).
No, that's a bad sign. A lot of polling stations were cut so you're going to see longer lines.
I had lines when I went to early vote, not surprised tbh. Less stations and COVID restrictions are going to result in this even if there were in theory a similar number of voters.
Hopefully this isn't widespread it's bad if people leave the line out of frustration
That is where I voted. I voted early so it was quick. Took longer to find my station and than it did to get my ballot and vote.
The Green Party of Canada says their candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke won't represent them if elected because of comments he made while campaigning.
A spokesperson said in an email to CBC Monday morning the party received a complaint last week about a statement made by Michael Lariviere.
They didn't specify which comment, but a Sunday night Facebook post from an account saying it's the district association for the riding northwest of Ottawa said it happened at a debate last week.
A livestream recap of a debate on YourTV Ottawa Valley shows Lariviere answering a question about efforts to encourage people to get a COVID-19 vaccine by suggesting proof-of-vaccination systems are the first step toward Nazism.
"I've been vaccinated, but I don't want to have to walk around with a passport ... the way I look at it is the Gestapo and the German military during the Second World War wanted people to be tattooed," he said.
"And this is the next, you know, the beginning of that step. We've already got an autocracy in Ottawa, we don't have a democracy, and that troubles me."
------------------------
Voters in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke have elected Conservative Cheryl Gallant each chance they've had since 2000. The Green candidate finished fourth in 2019.
You're supposed to choose your last residential address before moving overseas, but since my family doesn't live there anymore, I used my family's current address to select my riding.
The Green Party is only politically united on the front of environmentalism. Don't mistake it for a left wing party, it has a few whackadoodles amongst its ranks.
Voted Green because I live in one of the rare ridings where Green is the ABC vote. I have obvious issues with the party as a whole, but Manly's done a good job over the past two years, and been responsive and thorough when I've contact his office about various issues. I'd like to see the NDP adopt an even more aggressive climate platform and take back this riding, though.

The same stupid take from someone that has never felt oppression in their life wanting to feel oppressed. Everything these people dislike is Nazism or communism. Fuck off
Or it's "Orwellian," proving they haven't actually read 1984 or Animal Farm.
Voted Liberal since my Mississauga riding is usually a close race between Libs and Cons.
Nobody wanted the election except the opposition who filed repeated non confidence motions during a pandemic.

The Liberals were never in danger of losing any of them though. It's like when a kid threatens to move out of home because you tell them to do their homework.
This is my greatest fear with Kitchener Centre likely swinging Green. Yeah, Morrice will likely do a competent job representing the region on committees but the incumbency effect could literally rob me of any agency in determining the prime minister of this country (or helping to prop up a progressive NDP opposition) for the next 20+ years.
Just voted NDP here in Regina. My riding actually has a chance to flip from Conservative- > NDP this time so it will be exciting to see how things go.
You need a bill or a lease or something that has your current address on it. Or you need someone to vouch for you.
