Canada Election|2015|:The votes are being counted

Post Reply New Topic

Today Canada went to the poll to elect the next parliament.

Will Canada reelect the Conservative Party and their current Prime Minster to a 4th consecutive term?
Or are the Canadians truly sick of Conservative rule and restore the Liberal Party to power?

To form a majority government a party needs to win 155 sets out of 308 in the House of Commons.
The party that wins the most seats has the right to nominate the next Prime Minister.

Right now the Liberal Party is sweeping Atlantic Canada (Eastern part) dominating the other parties.
There is a very good chance Liberal Party will return to power with a majority government.

Will tonight be the night the Canadians return to their socialist roots?

Sweeping is a understatement... We will begin get a better idea of the results for the country in about half a hour, when the the results of the more important populations of the Alsama and Ontario and Québec.

So how long until Trudeau legalizes marijuana?

Atlantic Canada is not a huge surprise as they traditionally switch. The surprise is some long time NDP candidates have lost their seats. Quebec will be interesting to watch as well. Wonder if the NDP will hold the seats they picked up last election? Conservatives will start to pick up seats as Northern Ontario and the west start to come in.

Current polls show the Liberals at 92, Cons at 52, NDP 13, BQ 1....

It updated as I posted

CBC is calling it for liberal government, Justin for all!

Looks like the Liberals are going to win, only question is by how much. Taking Quebec certainly helped them.

Not really rejecting capitalism but Canadians in general certainly don't like US style politics.

Don't have to agree on everything to be friends.

Projects have it, Liberals gain a majority government at 156.

Need 170 now as 30 new seats were added making a total of 338 for this election instead of the previous 308.

Fine current projects have the Liberals at 171 forming a majority government.

Looks like a majority but that could change.
