You just threw your vote away!

Not really, that takes a lot of conviction to do that.

I definitely have a spectrum when it comes to party allegiance, it goes NDP, then Green, the LPC, then CPC. Of those that have a chance of winning, I vote for the one that's higher up the scale, but a lot of people (including you, I suspect), like one party and one party only. There is nothing wrong with that.

It's caled loyalty. I wouldn't start fighting a war with Canada then switch sides if we started losing. To me that show's lack if conviction and integrity. Just Imo which really means the same as anyone else's opinion....have a good election day. Making a pot of chili so I can watch the results come in!

Andrew Coyne's prediction: (he just resigned as Editor of Editorials at the National Post) per a tweet:

Finally, my prediction: Airheads 143 Fascists 116 Commies 71 Traitors 5 Ewoks 2 Unabombers 1 (#rathagainstthemachine - oh let me dream…).

Knowing Coyne, I assume he means Libertarians when he says Unabombers but idk.

Unlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while preserving privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists.

And he voted with the Communists.

Haha. He's talking about Brent Rathgeberger (sp?) who is running as an independent and is a former Conservative.

You missed the Simpsons reference, which might be because you didn't watch it, or you're too old, or because it's been on so long, too young.

EKOS Seat Projection

Lib 151 Con 116 NDP 54 Bloc 16 Green 1

Numbers are in or around the ranges of my prediction. My prediction is more positive for Liberal.

The Summary of All My Predictions

My prediction in words:

1, Liberal majority is first likely, Liberal minority is second likely.

2, Conservative will become the official opposition party.

3, NDP loses more than half of its seats.

4, Bloc will have a large gain.

5, Green still needs more efforts in future.

Even EKOS has the Liberals way out in front, and they had the parties the closest, with the Liberals behind in Quebec and BC, unlike other pollsters.

My prediction as follows:

Liberal 149

CPC 107

NDP 78

BQ 3

GPC 1

One positive outcome for this long campaign may be that more voters have tuned in and will show up at the polls.

Liberal 114

CPC 111

NDP 110

BQ 2

GPC 1

And we won't know who won until tomorrow.

There's no way the NDP are getting 110 seats. If they get 80, they'll be lucky. That means those thirty seats go to the Liberals, with a few to the Bloc.

You are also south of the 49th, unless you have some dual citizenship status.

Quite correct and I don't have any dual citizenship status. I know little or nothing about Canada.

  • The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

This should be interesting first year or two to see what happens.

Seems like the majority is in at this point, atleast as far as what most news outlets and people are reporting.

Liberals performed quite a bit better than expected particularly in Quebec.
