When one is looking at preliminary seat totals out of Atlantic Canada, the Liberals may have cause for concern, they have underperformed expectations.

That said, that's less than 10% of the seat total for the country.......so the real deal news is yet to come.

They are tentatively up by 20 nationally.

BQ and NDP support is tanking in Quebec

What's interesting under the hood is that the Liberal popular vote is over-performing, while the seat count is under-performing.

Still early. No assumptions just yet.

But fascinating.

Depending on how tonight's election plays out I've got a placeholder thread for the next one here: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/46th-canadian-federal-election.42005/

And it's done. Cbc calls for the Liberals.

CBC Decision Desk has called a Liberal government. Mark Carney will remain Prime Minister and has won his seat in Nepean, but whether he will lead a minority or majority government is yet to be decided. The Conservatives also have picked up a decent amount of seats. The Bloc Quebecois has held onto most of it's seats. The NDP however has lost most of its seats.

Ctv has called a minority for the Liberals now...

Bloq looks to hold the balance, are we going to another election sooner rather than later if we don't get movement on affairs?

Does pierre hang onto his job? Numbers way up yet came up short.

How will Carney manage with this given limited political experience... Hmmm

Worst result

Interesting result that probably doesn't really satisfy anyone, though I think the Liberals will definitely take it considering they were a dead party walking just a couple of months ago with Trudeau's zombified corpse stubbornly clinging on. For them this is a huge moral victory even though they didn't get the majority.

Jagmeet is toast. I'd be surprised if he doesn't announce his resignation by tomorrow at the latest. It's a disaster for the NDP.

PP might be done too, but it's harder to say. He delivered them a strong popular vote, but it still resulted in a loss that was unthinkable just weeks ago. They had this in the bag. It'll be very hard for him to stay on as leader under those circumstances.

Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh trailing in their ridings so far. Liberals flipped Toronto St Pauls and Peterborough, but lost 13 ridings in the GTA.

I would argue bitter sweet. PP and Singh are resoundingly getting it handed to them in their own ridings, lol. But the Cons playing that fear and loathing card that got Trump elected did far better, making this country ever more divisive and bitter then I, my family and my friends will ever be comfortable with...

...that said, Trump did not get his Trojan horse via PP. At least I can sleep a little more soundly on that.

Meanwhile, Carney will likely have to play the uncomfortable game of making it good with the BQ to run this country. And hopefully, none with the MagaTories... >.<

Edit: The fat lady hasn't sung on this night yet, so there are something I've said here that may change. Hopefully for the better...we shall see.

Green co-leader Elizabeth May has easily won her riding in Saanich Gulf Islands

Both Liberal and Cons played the fear card to some degree...each side will say the other side has made this country more divisive.

There's a chance the NDP may be able to hold the balance of power. That might be more stable.
