In Toronto, I think Karpoche wins by a nose in Taiaiako'n-Parkdale-High Park (I go back and forth), while the Conservatives come close in York Centre and Eglinton-Lawrence, but strike out in the 416.

Welp, I was waaay off in Parkdale. The NDP performed terribly in Toronto, with a degree of strategic voting for the Liberals that is unprecedented.

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

Which side had the higher moral ground in their claims is what should be looked at when playing that bothside'ism game. And for what that's worth.

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

It's so tight right now, that for NDP+Green+Liberal to hit 172 (169 right now ... okay, 170 now) that it will be interesting who is selected as Speaker.

Will the Conservatives ally with the BQ to bring down the government, and put seatless PP as PM?

Who's to judge who has the moral high ground?

It’s still to early to call some tight races in the GTHA and Southwestern Ontario but here’s what find difficult:

York Centre elects Roman Baber, an absolute nut job that Doug Ford wanted nothing to do with.

York Region went really blue.

I was really hoping Matthew Green would hold on in Hamilton Centre. He’s exactly the kind of guy the NDP needs to rebuild.

And some Southwestern Ontario ridings, the Liberal rise and the NDP collapse saw a few solid NDP MPs fall to Conservatives.

Not great.

I’m also bitter how the Liberals just dumped Evan Solomon here in Toronto Centre and got an easy win.

Wow, Jamil Javani just went off on Doug Ford

Aside from NDP getting disproportionately punished in seat count, the other main parties elected/projected seat counts are very close to their vote shares.

My riding, Eglinton-Lawrence, is one of the most competitive ridings in the country.

It keeps switching between Gasparro (LPC) and Stintz (CPC) as the lead.

I may be an NDP supporter, but I decided to vote for Gasparro. Yes, I had to vote strategically given the nature of my riding.

Here’s an interesting story:

My parents forbade me from voting because my parents are very firm tough-on-crime CPC supporters who told me they would disown me if I vote for any party except the CPC, especially the “hug-a-thug” LPC. I intentionally left my voter information card at home, walked to the polling station, brought out my ID, and voted for Gasparro. I told my parents I would be out walking around a few blocks for exercise. My parents did not know that I voted for Gasparro as they saw my voter information card on the fridge.

Unsurprisingly Jagmeet Singh announced his resignation effective an NDP leadership race. He is a decent person, but his time was up

liberals plus ndp plus greens is enough for majority as it stands

I hope you're not risking getting into trouble with your parents by posting this. My parents reacted with similar disappointment (though not nearly as extreme, fortunately) when I admitted to having reluctantly voted LPC. In reality, I don't support either, and voting for anyone else other than those 2 seemed pointless from the start, so in hindsight I should've just left my vote blank (someone I follow on social media posted a pic where they "voted" for Lebron James by drawing it in as an extra option, lol).

I would hope that with Trudeau gone the LPC would make an effort to turn around its "hug a thug" policy and be more "tough on crime". However, one big reason I didn't vote CPC is because of their stance on MAiD (the other reason being that they would likely scrap the line 2 replacement funding).

With evidence and a good baloney detector anyone can...

...but that sorta goes without saying.

Final Voter turn-out numbers seem to be in...........and well we're up a fair bit.......it still seems low for an election that is/seems high consequence.

Per the Elections Canada website:

19,155,470 of 28,525,638 registered electors (67.15 %) -- does not include electors who registered on election day.
