Don't freak out. Atlantic Canada has always been Liberal leaning. Conservative inroads are to be made in Quebec and Ontario.
That plus the traditional conservative Western Canada (except BC)
Things are going about as expected.
Look for a Conservative minority gov't.
My best guess is that he's actually physically in the Maritimes.

Atlantic TV live returns
The polls are holding so far. That's the good news. The bad news is that in 2004, the polls underestimated Tory support in Atlantic Canada. But it sounds like the polls got the Dipper percentage right this time, which caused a lot of the difference in 2004.
Good to meet you. To let you know when I was 1 to 3 I lived at a Duplex (now gone) at the Southwest corner of Mt. Pleasant and Davisville. That area sure has changed. Also, my Grandfather is buried in that cemetry.
It a great neighbourhood.
Take care!
I don't understand the results you are posting. Earlier you showed the CPC had 10, now you have posted 8. What gives?
This is not looking good.
We must win tonight!
I thought that immigration into France had slowed a great deal. Certainly, if the trends point to a Muslim majority, the French aren't going to encourage further immigration along the lines of the 1960s or even today, and sentiment for expulsions and exclusion will harden. We've been seeing a backlash for at least a decade, and it's not as easy to get into France as it is to cross from Mexico to the U.S. And certainly there are many factors driving Muslim fertility downward in France.
It is exceptionally tricky to project current trends outward to show a minority becoming a majority. There's too much time for the people in power to react and change things, never mind for the minority to change.
We lost 2!, results are changing with more info...now at 9 of 32 up 2 from 7 we had from last time.
Canadian Networks don't wait to "call" results like US ones do - they list who's leading.
Yes, but I suppose it wouldn't really help them if most of Atlantic Canada is on the wrong side of the House in the coming Parliament.
Brison won
ElectionPrediction.org predicted 8 for the Conservatives in Atlantic Canada...and the 8 to 11 is because three are very close
Tobique-Mactacquac and Saint John will be nailbiters.
conservatives in atlantic canada reported pissed...
