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.

Just like Canada itself, the Captain's Quarters blog seems to be overtaxed:

Most of the new polls are EXTREMELY early and are only a few votes in...

They're adding results from other parts of Canada now - the polls in all but B.C. are closed.

My guess is this might be the advance poll numbers - don't be surprised to see a rapid Conservative rise, followed by some losses.

Any exit polls?

I haven't heard anything, but then I haven't been following as closely as I ought!

God, these guys (I assume CBC) on C-SPAN are as bad as the US nets, reporting that so-and-so is leading, when the raw vote totals 10 votes for the district.

Yes, and it looks like Gaspesie has been called for the Bloc...but Mansbridge said that there was a 30-something percent hike in the Tory vote. Incredible!

Maritimes are final? CPC gained 2.

How does this bode for the rest of the country?

I don't think there were exit polls in 2004. Exit polling might even be illegal.

Checking Free Dominion brings back memories of 2000 & 1994.
