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.

[SouthTexas]

Best wishes and prayers from south Texas.

I tried to get into Free Dominion, but I guess they couldn't understand my accent. ;)

Fabian Manning (CPC) has an 1100 vote lead in Avalon -- radio report.

Put up a link?

[Squawk 8888]

"Dissolution" is the disbanding of the House of Commons and is synonymous with the calling of an election.

First results are now coming from the Maritimes, but the results from Central Canada will be available after 9:30pm EST.

This was an expected CPC pickup... I think its going to be a very good night.

I wonder where the disaffected liberal canadians will go if they lose tonight???

1100 may be a decent lead in Avalon, depending on the % of the votes in.

[furquhart]

Well, it's a good sign pick-up. I'd like some popular vote numbers, though.

[Torie]

The only seat the Tories will pick up in Newfoundland is Avalon.

I am not anti-canadian in concept, But I am anti-canadian with the liberal government and NDP in power...

We all share a common ground here: pro-Conservative & anti-liberal, no matter where we are located.

[goldstategop]

I'd say its a bell-weather. It bodes well for a Blue sweep of rural and suburban ridings held by Liberals elsewhere in eastern Canada.

Radio link -- 1760 vote lead for Manning...just came short of calling it a Tory gain

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Mi amigo, on FR the word is HUGH. Trust me. By the way, welcome to Free Republic.

[CaptainCanada]
