so does anyone want to take a guess at what result we'll see?

But if you really want a head start on this apparently you can see info on Twitter with hashtag #tweettheresults (the site tweettheresults.ca, which was supposed to be aggregating this, got leaned on to stop).

did the good guys or bad guys win?
I like this..."dude," but he seems to have a chip on his shoulder.

I'm in Ignatieff's riding, and he voted this morning at the same school where I vote (Sir Adam Beck). I'm glad I voted tonight and didn't encounter him. I would have kept my head down and avoided him. It would have felt like a betrayal, like when I went to Rogers last summer with cards for Cone and Henke to autograph, and sort of skulked past Sprague because I had nothing of his. (Yes, I know--like Ed Sprague would be deeply upset.)

I'm in Iggy's riding too. (Oddly, used to live in Jack's!) (And no, NO plans to move to Calgary any time soon to complete the set.)
― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 01:29 (fifteen years ago)
i'm frightened.

CBC and CTV have already called the election??
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:05 (fifteen years ago)
Majority or minority CPC govt TBD
cons are doing amazing so far.
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:06 (fifteen years ago)
NDP killin it in quebec - freakin amazing

Disappointing. As soon as the Queen gets finished with all that wedding stuff, she needs to get over here and redesign this whole system.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:13 (fifteen years ago)
NDP seat count, hoooooly shit.
Cons probably not getting a majority apparently. Yesssss.
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:15 (fifteen years ago)
i really really hope that's what happens
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:17 (fifteen years ago)
Chantal Hebert on CBC ... it's a Jean Cretien majority that will be won in Ontario. Gotta agree with that.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:18 (fifteen years ago)
Not happy that Iggy's currently trailing here but not really surprised.
HOLY CRAP, the NDP is actually ahead in Duceppe's riding?!
― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:19 (fifteen years ago)
Can't wait for what remains of the Liberals to push Layton to act on his promises to enact proportional representation in elections.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:24 (fifteen years ago)
i.e. Layton's first broken campaign promise
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:26 (fifteen years ago)
like Layton can do shit with what's happening right now!
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:30 (fifteen years ago)
If the Cons get a majority I blame Toronto
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:33 (fifteen years ago)
CPC at 156 according to CBC. Changing all the time though.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:37 (fifteen years ago)
this is so nerve-wracking!
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:37 (fifteen years ago)
fuck they're up to 158 now.
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:38 (fifteen years ago)
162. Pollsters spectacularly wrong again shocker.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:41 (fifteen years ago)
Why wouldn't Layton want proportional representation to go through? Given that over half of the country voted against the cons, and they're going to get a majority?
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:42 (fifteen years ago)
Well, fuck.
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:48 (fifteen years ago)
"over half the country voted against the cons" ... yeah, but not for the NDP. If we're going by PR, the Liberals would have 60 seats and the Bloc would still be a force.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:49 (fifteen years ago)
... and CBC just called the majority
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:51 (fifteen years ago)
FUUUUCK!
― daavid, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:51 (fifteen years ago)
But Layton would still be leader of the opposition, and there'd be minority.
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:51 (fifteen years ago)
man. fucked up.
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:53 (fifteen years ago)
glad to know i live in the right province.but fuck a conservative majority. i feel like i'm going to barf. a lot of fighting ahead...
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:55 (fifteen years ago)
don't blame me -- i voted for kodos
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:56 (fifteen years ago)
I know I said this before already but
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 02:56 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah.
But hey, the little victories, right? Montreal might be kicking out an astronaut and electing one of the actors in 300.
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:01 (fifteen years ago)
Did Justin Trudeau win tonight? I have the CBC Quebec map up, but I don't know where to look.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:02 (fifteen years ago)
He's in Papineau, and he's winning.
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:03 (fifteen years ago)
at least the bloc is gone.
xpost
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:03 (fifteen years ago)
Okay: I'm jumping off the NDP bandwagon, and getting on the Justin Trudeau bandwagon...as soon as there is one.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:04 (fifteen years ago)
are Duceppe and Iggy both trailing in their own ridings?
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:07 (fifteen years ago)
Yep, both of them are still behind.
― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:09 (fifteen years ago)
Elizabeth May is currently in the lead but still a lot of polls to come in.
― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:10 (fifteen years ago)
Bev Oda destroys in her riding; in other news, at least 30,000 Canadians are fucking assholes.
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:16 (fifteen years ago)
Ignatieff saying "We should be proud of our role in triggering that desire for change..." I'm not sure if he's really thought that statement through.

damn this suxxx

The NDP should still rue the day they took down the Martin Liberals, that was still the only time in their history that they wielded any real federal power.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:20 (fifteen years ago)
some of the north toronto ridings that went conservative have been liberal since 93 or earlier... wonder how much is centre-right liberals wanting to avoid an NDP led gov't? i mean these ridings have most of the wealthiest nabes in the country...
― we don't post here anymore (Lamp), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:22 (fifteen years ago)
Ignatieff is in the middle of a 30-minute infomercial on why his party was just wiped out.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 03:27 (fifteen years ago)
"i did a terrible job, but i don't really want to quit"

don't you pretty much have to quit if you can't even hold on to your own seat
