2015 Federal Election

[James]

Liberals clearly on track to take a majority government.

Sad to see the NDP losing many seats, but Canada seems to have decided Liberal was our best hope to get Canada back from the darkness.

Liberal red in all of Etobicoke, clearly Rob and Doug Ford did not help Stephen Harper make any gains #elxn42

What a blunder by Harper!

NDP said they just needed 35 seats, and that's what they got. Just 35.

Jays are still in and Harper's out. Great night for Canada!

The tool don't even have the courage to resign on TV and chose to breakup by press release.

And therefore the world.

I'm not a liberal supporter, but I wonder what Adam Vaughan will do for Toronto, now that Trudeau has been elected, and with a majority.

Looks like we chucked out Fatino and elected Blair. Which was the worst Toronto police chief?

My gosh, is there any contest? Fantino by a light-year.

Toronto police were a corrupt and racist force when Blair took over. Organization change takes time. And they have moved. They need to move further, but Blair has pushed them. Perhaps he should have pushed harder ... but you can only go so far.

I suspect I'd have voted NDP in that riding. But I have a lot less qualms about Blair than I had about Fantino.

The BQ actually won seats. I was expecting them to be shut out.

That isn't a promising list of people to lead the CPC.

Not much of a victory for them. PKP put a lot on the line to get them back in the House of Commons. Nonetheless, their popular vote actually declined from the disastrous 2011 election. The ten seats is a factor of vote splitting in some ridings rather than any big endorsement of the Bloc. Duceppe didn't win his seat, and they are two seats short of official party status, with all the privileges and funding that would have come with that. It's better than being shut out completely, but not by much.
