Canadian General Election, Live Thread (UPDATE: Conservatives Win!)

Elections Canada ^ | N/A

[GreenLanternCorps]

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.

My husband is a Lawyer and he says this reporting is ILLEGAL.

Hm... well since we aren't canadian... not sure why if they don't want it to get on the web, they are reporting anything, thinking that blacking out the west coast is going to stop the info from getting there.

I hope that traitor Belinda Stronach is out of her job.

Ya gotta admit Canadian elections go lightning fast in terms of projections.

They're saying that Canadians aren't moving to the right, they're just getting rid of a tired party.

How is that not moving to the right? Of course, don't expect DUmbocrats to make sense.

[kellynch]

Damn that was fast.

Prime Minister Harper. That sounds lovely. :-)

[manapua]

Let's hope these initial predictions hold through the night so we can say, "Get out, dickhead!!!"
