I think you may be right. Minority either way. Not a fan of Otoole, but tired of Trudeau,. And within two years again we'll be back at the polls. I think the Green party might actually be wiped out.

At least Otoole will not throw another election in two months if he get a minority.. Trudeau will probably.

I still haven't forgiven Trudeau for being such an embarrassment whilst on that trip to India way back when, but (grudgingly) voted for him anyway.  I predict the Liberals will win the most seats, but will not get a majority.

[Likely Guy]

I voted NDP because the local candidate seemed the most intelligent and articulate, but the riding will go Conservative as it always has.

Polls close in just over two hours.

Sadly... The Liberal team are incredible liars. Well most politicians are but they are the worse of the bunch on that point.

Coincidentally you posted that as I was reading a Toronto Star article fact-checking claims made in just a week:

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau made 5 false claims

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole made 7 false claims (and one big dodge)

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made 5 false claims (and a lot of stretches)

Green Leader Annamie Paul made 4 false claims

Trump could eat them up and spit them out in one 20 minute interview!

Funny you should mention Trump. I was just wondering how Pierre Trudeau would have handled him. He would have been contemptuous of him for sure, but probably would have handled him like he handled Nixon: push back and/or placate. Or maybe not. My guess is he would have eventually totally lost it with him.

Early Atlantic Canada results:

With about 300,000 ballots counted so far, the Liberals have 43 per cent of the ballots cast, the Conservatives have about 34 per cent and the NDP has nearly 17 per cent of the vote share. The Green Party has captured two per cent of the ballots cast so far, while the People's Party of Canada (PPC) has more than four per cent of all votes.

It would have been a better show than LBJ grabbing Lester Pearson by the lapels and saying, " Don't you come into my living room and p*** on my rug!"

If you have time, watch the Dammit, Pierre! video from the article. Trudeau comes right out and calls the Americans liars.

Just saw that. I did predict a liberal minority earlier today, but there is still a possibility it could be a majority. Oh I hope not.

No, I doubt a majority.

Likely not, but still down to the votes here in BC

The good news is, is that Bernier (PPC) lost again.

No seat in parliament.

It looks like the Greens aren't quite gone, but the leader likely won't get her seat. I t looks to me like less of the green vote and that vote went to the liberals.

That is good. I think the conservatives lost some votes to the PPC, more than they did last time, and that screwed them.

Bernier is a jerk and the last person we need during a pandemic.

And Trudeau was a jerk to prompt an election during the pandemic's fourth wave. What was he thinking? Only of himself obviously.

Oh man, totally!! Trudeau is a true jerk to attempt this now. And he said he wouldn't, and it was a selfish move.

[jeceris]

What a total waste of time this election was. It is really looking EXACTLY like it did when they broke for the campaign. All that money, all the crap, and risking increased infection rates at polling stations and it really hasn't changed, with any party.

As Kent Brockman said on the Simpsons once before, "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Democracy, simply doesn't work."

Waste of time.
