"He's earned his right to stay as leader."
Dude it's not even guaranteed that he's keeping his seat.

Canadians, what's the deal with "official party status"? I gather from the CBC that you need 12 seats to achieve it, but what does it actually do, what's the reasoning behind it, and do people generally like this system?

For context, here in Australia party status is decided pre-election, and only requires you have 1500 active members, or at least 1 incumbent. To my knowledge the only thing it gives you here is more flexibility with respect to campaign financing.

Here's the two main poll aggregator's per-riding projections for all of those considering voting strategically:

• 338Canada. Use the French version if the main one is down. The site is under attack
• Eric Grenier (CBC Poll Tracker)

The numbers for Fanjoy have been holding above 2300 for over an hour, as writing this, 219 of 266 polls.

I wonder if the election will be over as soon as the polls close in Ontario.

Well, the Greens were able to keep a seat, so there's that.

Lurking American here. Curious who you think will win in your gut? I understand we won't really know until results are counted. A couple of stories covered by American media (one definitely liberal leaning) I've read and listened to seems to think because of the odiousness of our president, liberals may take it? Do you think that's likely?

Hopefully we get a minority liberal government tonight. Mark Carney needs to taught to collaborate with others. I want him to be much more mature than Justin Trudeau ever was.

I appreciate Jason Kenney calling out maga North and The People’s Party.

This Liberal woman CBC has just finished talking to both looks and speaks an awful lot like Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec.

(This is not a bad thing.)
