She can actually fight, I'll wager.

Better'n 90% of our esteemed members, for certain sure.

Notice, our American friend that at the Federal level, we still use old fashioned paper ballots that you put a single "X" on your choice. The ballots are counted by representatives of each political party running in that riding, each one scrutinizinfg the other. Results from each poll is phoned in. It's practically impossible to hack, no dangling chads. It's transparent and pretty hard to cheat.

We decided pencils are too dangerous for the average Yank voter.

We're working on a ballot where you shoot your choice.

You may be 100% right.

At least, it's a more honest process than sending your vote to a server under somebody else's control.

Be sure, unless Alberta suddenly elects a bunch of Liberals.

 

[Hoid]

cbc wasn't sure

Isn't it illegal to photograph your ballot?

It’s illegal to take a selfie.

 

[Cannuck]

How bad does your message have to be if you can’t beat the worst PM in Canadian history

awfully quiet around here.

I would expect to see a lot of western separation jibber jabber over the next few days

 

[Serryah]

I'm sort of shocked but actually happy too that Fredericton voted Green.


NB half and half, as usual.


Bloc got more than I thought they would.


Just glad the Cons are not the majority or even minority government. I much prefer a Lib minority over a lot of other scenarios.

Sheer has a few more votes than Justin......at the moment.

Trumpism just doesn’t sell well in Canada. Conservatives should have listened to fiscal conservatives like me and abandoned their social conservative bullshyte

Personally......I am delighted that Trumpism does not sell in CDA.........We have enough issues with out adding that to
the equation.

 

[Serryah]

Yep, had Justin gone with the voter reform thing he'd be losing now.


That's one reason why I couldn't vote Liberal this time around. That said, I'm glad he didn't change things cause a Con government would be worse than Lib.

 

[mentalfloss]

*snort*

To be fair, I would support PR even though I wouldn't like this result.

Maybe Conservatives will realize it's worth considering now.

 

[Ron in Regina]

For Justin to lead it has to be (most likely) with the NDP, and there's a solid block of blue watching.
