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.

Have anyone found a good interactive map yet?

The cbc.ca map isn't updating until ridings are officially called.

Congrats Canadians!

"Maybe Belinda will stick around to help oust him...and replace him with herself."

I really doubt that the Liberals are dumb or suicidal enough to elevate that turncoat to be their leader. On the other hand...

CPAC (I think) called Edmonton Centre - No "landslide" this time for Landslide Annie... Officially, it's a clean sweep of Alberta!

But are they desperate enough? :-)

Anybody got the final numbers? Did the Tories get close to 130 (if we add in that conservative-leaning independent from...somewhere?)

And what's better is that Landslide Annie finally hit the trash heap of history.

i'm curious to see how eager harper will be for such a meeting with bush.

it might hurt him domestically, so he might hold off a while and keep it low-key

Haven't looked at a map of Canada lately. Didn't know it was so huge. A shame that a small strip of the East Coast controls such a huge heartland.

Yeah . . . well, there's no accounting for taste.

Uh-oh . . . Paul Martin just left his hotel to head for his car.
