Canadian General Election, Live Thread (UPDATE: Conservatives Win!)
Elections Canada ^ | N/A

Posted on 01/23/2006 8:03:44 AM PST by 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.

"9:11 - The CBC has called the election for Harper and the Conservatives, but in a minority. That's about what we figured earlier, too. However, one very surprising result has come out of Quebec, where so far the CPC has gotten about 31% of the vote -- and the Liberals have almost disappeared. A huge development, and one that will probably force BQ to move closer to the CPC."

There must be something about the name Galloway. I wonder if he's related to George?

Because we are Conservative in the West!! With the exception of some rotten spots. You know what I mean. LIke Vancouver East and Center. The Rest of B.C. should go Conservative, a couple NDP strongholds too. Alberta should be straight Conservative.

"9:20 - Right now, with the west still largely silent, the Tories lead 110-88, and they picked up 16 seats so far in Ontario. To me, this looks like a possible CPC majority win, not just a minority."
