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.

Shite, these numbers don't mean anything unless I know which ridingds they are and in what province....also, urban ridings will typically report before rural ridings (which tend to vote conservative)...

The Independent is likely Andre Arthur from a riding near Quebec City. He's a conservative talk show host.

. the biggest minority is the majority, isn't it? No. A majority is over 50%. So the biggest minority is just that, if it isn't over 50%.

My local tv station's election coverage has a panel talking about Harper and how he is going to choose his cabinet...
It's seems like it's actually happening!!! Peter Manbridge (CBC liberal commentator) looks deeply depressed.

Are ALL ridings coming in or are they coming in from the provinces that closed earlier?
To: southernnorthcarolina
A cautionary note for those watching the TV coverage: the totals show which party is leading each riding, not which ridings have been called. Some of them are based on very fragmentary returns. That said, glad to see that the Tories have nosed ahead for now. Just don't get too euphoric too early.
And these postings don't even really tell you that. They don't mean much because you can't see whether the results for the particular seats reported represent gains or losses for each party over previous election. The only non-meaningless results are reported in the form of -3 +5 etc.. that show you whether the seats are gains or losses over previous election.
