Canadian Politics

As a foreigner I have to ask: Does that Bernier actually have any chance of gaining seats in Canada? He at the max will probably pull 5% of the vote judging from the polls but from what I understand his voter base is rather spread over conservative Canada instead of conglomerating in one or a few districts such as with that froggie independence party.

Bernier is actually fighting in his own riding. He spent nearly half the campaign in Beauce to make sure he would keep it. He has virtually no chance of gaining any seat according to every polls.

Bernier only has his own seat, so he's likely gonna retain it.

Well if he retains it he might keep his little party alive for a few years... He might even pull a Farage in due time and pull the largest share of the vote in 10 years if he does exceptionally well!

Polls are now closed in Newfoundland and Labrador.

I'm actually surprised that failed American political leaders have never tried again up in Canada, which doesn't have restrictions on the foreign-born from being PMs.

Jeb! 2019!

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Early 3 seats for Libs so far.

[Shrillland]

OK, everybody, if you remember '15, the media shows who's leading whether they're actually going to win or not...so no spamming with too many posts about the numbers, or the mods will come down on us again.

Tbh I'd doubt a foreign born person could become PM. Maybe if they've lived in Canada since being a toddler, but even dual citizens born in Canada have had it rough. Michael Ignatieff was shit on since he hadn't lived in Canada for a very long time and was portrayed basically as being an American. Which also reminds me, America bashing is pretty popular in elections. Elizabeth May is the exception, but that's because, well, it's Elizabeth May and I doubt most people are even aware that she was born in the US.

I can just imagine Jeb's victory speech, "I'm not in my father and brother's shadow now, am I? Please clap".

Jeb for world president! Only he can lead the Earth to greatness.

Polls are now closed in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

Honestly it looks pretty good.

And if it makes you feel any better, I didn't make this, I just saw it on discord and had to post it here.

I decided to look up how a lot of Canada's eastern provinces voted in past elections...

... Even your countryside is pretty left-wing, Jesus Christ, even Sweden doesn't have that I think.

Last time was anomaly. Tories will probably retake good chunks of PEI and New Brunswick tonight at least.

Welp, the first three seats have been called for the Liberals, all in NL.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

So my thought process for pros and cons for how I voted (liberal):

Cons:

the new Democratic system promise broken that was going to replace FPTP
the whole jet thing (We really do need new jets)
oh and that dumb ass comment "We can't spend more on vets"

Pros:

Weed
Local rep is a cool dude
Con's goverment would be a mess
NDP/ Greens would be a no go
Strong economy

That, I think, is how plenty of Liberal voters felt today.

The NDP just got their first race called, taking St. John's East from the Liberals. All the other called races are Liberal holds.

To be expected honestly. The polls in those areas where pretty liberal leaning

[Shrillland]

Conservatives take Tobique-Mactaquac, NB, and New Brunswick Southwest, their first takes of the night.

By the way, you guys can show the calls, I was just saying don't spam with all those leads.

Did the CBC accidentally make an error in calling Beausejour for the GPC? It's a rural NB constituency, I don't buy it.

Edit: Also at what time (EST) can we expect results from QC and ON?

They made an error, yes, the Liberals held it.

At the half hour is when QC and ON's polls close.
