If JimRob, etc. approve this is the Live Thread for the Canadian General Election, on January 23rd, 2005.

We have a while to go before the returns start coming in, but I thought the thread needed to get up and running.

[July 4th]

So what we're looking for here is a Conservative+BQ number that's greater than Lib+NDP?

[B Knotts]

The current government is made up of Liberals, but they did not have a majority. They were just the biggest minority.

This time, the Conservatives stand to have the biggest minority, so they would form the government.

The seat change listing you posted is far more interesting than the raw number of wins! Would much rather see updates reflect this
