Just reporting what they said. They don’t have ANY returns from Quebec so I really don’t see how they can justify making any kind of call this soon.

If the Liberals get wiped out in ON, its lights out for Dion, baby!

milquetoast = French for metrosexual

Dang, you learn something every day at FR!!!

[goldstategop]

Agreed. The exit poll projections are worthless. But its a fantastic night for the Conservatives! :)

Egmont win is hugh!

[GiveEmDubya]

And the Tories just picked off Egmont in PEI. Looks like the info I was reading earlier today was right!

[fanfan]

OK, sorry.

Dancing with the stars is on the TV here, so I’m missing all the reports.

The newspaper sites are showing 0 for everyone.

Ungh.

[buccaneer81]

Marxist-Leninist at 0.0% in Quebec. Awww!!

[Squawk 8888]

Ken Dryden is down by 100 votes!!!!

[goldstategop]

The Conservatives are probably running two to three points higher than their poll predictions. If the Ekos one is correct, it could be a historic night. We'll see.

[ThomasThomas]

When Americans get mad at conservatives for winning many say they will move to Canada. Where do the nutty Canadian’s say they will go if conservatives win there?

[mware]

We do not have exit polls in Canada.

I sure wish we didn't have them. They are going to create a mess come Nov.

[buccaneer81]

I’ll call 156.

[Squawk 8888]

No exit polls in Canada :-p

[ERJCaptain]

Absolutely! I called it earlier, if the CPC was able to grab Egmont, we would have an interesting night ahead. By the way, its very nice how Canada actually names their ridings. It beat the hell out of the 19th Congressional District of Texas or whatever.

[goldstategop]

PEI was a Liberal stronghold. 4-0 Liberal and for the Tories to pick one up on the island is big news!

[buccaneer81]

Great goalie. Lousy politician.

[fanfan]

Be still, my heart.

[ERJCaptain]

Once a Maple Leaf, always a loser ;)

[goldstategop]

If that's in the GTA, Layton's New Democrats are hammering the Liberals hard.
