2. The civic minded part of my brain...

...that is concerned with election integrity and such agrees.


The data junkie part of my brain only cares that I'm getting information Right. Now.

3. I have never followed Canadian elections before.

Lead the way.

4. Basically any color but blue on that map is a win.

Right now the Liberals are crushing it but they're traditionally very strong on the East Coast so things will get more interesting as results starts to move west. Right now, it's like having the early results from Massachusetts and Connecticut in US presidential elections showing the Democrats way ahead. Not terribly shocking.


The 2011 map (when the Conservatives tragically won) for reference:

6. Well, apparently *regaining* sense.

I'd still like to know wtf happened to my countrymen the last few elections before this.

7. I sort of thought they forgot they were Canadians.

Trying to become the 51st state.

8. Well, Alberta at least looks to remain solidly fucking Neanderthal...

...judging from the early returns there just starting to come in. Not that that's unexpected.

[Downwinder]

10. Pretty impressive. Hope we can do as well.

That is a class act to follow.
