Well, that might mean a good night for the good guys.
If we were only going to pick up a couple in the Atlantic anyway, couldn't these limited results even suggest that the Tories *could* make up those gains in Quebec and stay on track for a decent minority anyway?
*raising hand!*
We seem to pick up as we move across the country..hopefully it keeps up

I agree with your earlier assessment, just getting midly close in this riding is a major accomplishment and may portend well for Quebec ridings outside Montreal.
Prepare for the shyt blizzard!
Thanks for all your hard work FRiend.
:-D
I'd be happy with even a narrow loss there, since that was totally unexpected in the Gaspe.
That would be icing on the cake...

CBC now on...Tories up in vote percentage, at least 2 gains in the Atlantic.
democraticSPACE projection for Gaspe was:
Bloc - 53.7%
Conservative - 32.1%
Liberal - 9.2%
NDP - 3.0%
Green - 2.8%
Agreed. It's back to the Bloc now, but right now, I'm happy there...since it was NOT expected.
It's 155 for a majority, because our House of Parliament has 309 seats.
So if no party gets over that number, then the party with the largest number forms a minority government - though its leader still becomes the Prime Minister - with some kind of co-op deal with another party to get the 155 "working majority" needed to pass legislation.
Avalon and Tobique-Mactacquac.
Saint John and Fredericton are shown as narrow Liberal leads.
Not to sound like a noodnig, but would you please give the definition of CPC and PCP? I think I know, but I'd rather hear it from someone who does know.
19 Conservative
10 Liberal
1 Bloc Québécois
3 New Democrat
0 Independent
Needed for Majority: 155
