Doesn't Vancouver have a Chinese conservative that's kept her seat since before(?) Harper? Is that her riding?

Hey, we're not all bad! Markham-Thornhill seems to have pulled through.
Hell no. The Tories are stuck at 30-35% of the vote. They'd never form government again with a PR system.
My riding went 50% lib, yay. The major areas of ontario doing their part it seems, even the 905. The areas even more north of that is just a sea of blue as it always is though
Jagmeet found his voice but too late into the cycle. They should keep him, he will do better next time if he comes out swinging from the start

oh yikes...well gonna blame that one on my lack of sleep sorry
Climate Change is a hoax! Trudeau wants to kill the oil sands for no reason! It's all a socialist plot!
Green at 4 is fucking wild to think about. Still not enough to actually matter but making that slow creep towards official party status.
Being in parliament (assuming he keeps his seat, it was close) will also help. he was out for most of the last 4 years. It's one thing Mulcair, for all his failures, he was able to bringanger to the floor of parliament
Hey, Richmond Hill still leaning red even though it's 300 votes. 😓
Nah, that's bullshit. We're all just stuck trying to be little Alberta. It was only a matter of time. Ralph barely won his seat last election so with Sask and Alberta going even more stupid crazy, it was a matter of time. Just hoped that people in this riding weren't gonna fall into that stupid Con shit. Alas, this city and riding are dumb as bricks.
I see saskatoon and regina both went solid blue though. God I hate this fucking province sometimes. And by sometimes I mean most of the time.
At least Bernier lost his seat lmao.
Time to have a celebratory drink. In the words of Canadian folk hero Chris Jericho:
Now to enjoy all that salt on my Facebook feed. We did it everyone!!

I am (probably naively) hopeful about the future of alberta down the road. My fellow students are significantly more left than our province votes. Not to say that there aren't super conservative kids, of course there are, but I feel like the ratio isn't as bad in my generation.
Maybe they should stop voting for people who work with nazi racists
To be fair the economy is doing well which aligns with the results. Many people thinking why mess with success?
These stories people are telling about Alberta on CBC make it sound like a fucking hellhole.
hahah, well I won't hold it against you.
If you weren't aware, goodale's held that riding since 1993, including 2011 when the Liberals were reduced to a mere 34 seats nationally.
wait, where is the fourth seat? I see it at the top of the page, but on the map I can only find May's seat, Nanaimo, and Fredericton
I mean theoretically, if we were using PR right now, the Liberals + NDP + Green would still be enough to form government, and even if the Conservatives won the popular vote they would just get voted down on the first confidence motion and then the Lib/NDP/Green alliance would take over. The BQ would no longer be a concern, although the People's Party would arguably have won a seat or two.
Yeah I'm trying to find it too. it's definitely not in Eastern Canada.
Liberal+NDP I'm pretty sure is 50% of the popular vote or close to it even if it's an FPTP election. Hard to be angry.
Was just saying this. Lmao this fucking province is so god damn stupid. Poor Sohi. He seemed like a good MP. Tim Uppal back from the dead with a vengeance.
Mike Lake shit all over red and orange in my riding. Fucking conservative group think. Have to laugh at the PPC at least.
looks like JWR is going to lose her seat. disappointing. otherwise pretty happy with the result.
FPTP is terrible, but the Conservatives have also never been proponents of electoral reform, so I think people are reveling in that.
And do what with it exactly?
"Ok Cons, here's 35% of the seats in parliament. Alright gang (Libs+NDP+Greens+Bloc), what's on the agenda today?"
Good that's what she gets.
Maybe she can try to really run conservative next time
Imagine how different this election would have gone down if Bernier had been elected as leader of the CPC. I have to say, I really fucking glad I joined that shit party three years ago to make sure he lost that election.
He won by over 10,000 votes last election.
I don't disagree with much else that you've said, though.
The ads saying to send Trudeau a message and vote out Goodale started early. They were really pushing to get Goodale out. Still can't believe the Sask Party made a fuss when the Feds tried to give us more infrastructure project money for pools.
