1/214 box in one county ?

Wowsers about Atlantic Canada results; methinks they have been drinking too much Red Bull.

Hope it doesn't translate across the country.
Just listening to a very happy Ralph Goodale talking on Global tv - he won't make a prediction, made a farm analogy about chickens, blah blah blah...

@Mia - Îles de la Madeleine is in the Atlantic time zone.

Hi, Avon!!

If you go to that CBC site I posted above, it has good live streaming of their tv coverage...could you get that?
Jays up 7-2
Giants vs Eagles 7-7

Now be good down there...behave yourselves...! ;)

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt was the first Conservative cabinet minister to lose his seat Monday night – to Liberal Rene Arseneault.
Fisheries Minister Gail Shea lost to Liberal Bobby Morrissey in Egmont.
Central Nova, previously held by former cabinet minister Peter Mackay, also went Liberal, electing Sean Fraser.
Seamus O’Regan won St. John’s South-Mount Pearl, taking the seat from the NDP.

CBC radio coverage is very good - I'm liking Michael Enright and Susan Bonner, and they have good local coverage.
However, CBC livestream is not coming through on my old clunker of a computer, so I'm giving Global a try - see how long I can put up with the buffering...

I had a buffering problem with CTV...hope it works better for you. CBC coming in nicely on this iPad, too...

I didn't even bother trying CTV, they are always problematic. Global is coming across decently enough, even though it stops sometimes.

I leave the tv to my husband, since we only have one. Only other option is the tablet, and I don't want to be on it.

Thanks!

We only got 2.5 hours of sleep last night. I will fill you in later.

Well if Mulcare can't oust Harper, I am glad the Liberals are "sweeping up!"

New numbers should be coming in in a few minutes. Go Bloc! Go NDP!

I'm really hoping for a minority... can you tell? :P

May I ask: does Quebec typically vote Conservative? Seems the Crimson Tide has stalled across the border...:shrug:

CBC just declared Trudeau will be the next Prime Minister. Wow. Seems early!

CBC is projecting a Liberal government, they're calling it early. They aren't saying if it will be a majority or minority.

^ Just came to post, Global tv just did the same.
