Polls close across country as the evening goes in in the race for 338 seats.
The Liberal Party is expected to win led by Justin Trudeau.
CTV is streaming live coverage.
CBC coverage can been seen on CSPAN-2.
Ping.
Go Justin Trudeau. Go away!
God help the Canadians if this comes to pass.
This sucks. I liked Harper.
Justin Trudeau is considered a political lightweight that is only there for the name, he is a puppet (and not very intelligent.)
He is our Obama.
On the bright side, my occasional Fall hunting trips to Churchill will be a LOT cheaper when Trudeau collapses the loonie.
If the polls are right, it’ll probably be a Liberal minority or Liberal NDP coalition government.
The Liberals are up 40 percent of the popular vote so far in their Atlantic Canada stronghold.
The results further west will tell the story in the end.
What’s funny about all of this is that many major newspapers have endorsed Harper and the Conservatives at the last minute and this has stirred controversy a good bit. I think that they know that many want to show Stephen Harper the door tonight (whether or not you agree with that is something else of course and I certainly voted Conservative) but probably also have a very good idea that Justin is most likely going to be that kind of a very serious disappointment to many soon afterwards.
But he is the son of his famous father.
Without him, the Liberals wouldn’t be making this historic comeback from their wipeout four years earlier.
So there's hope for Lincoln Chafee after all?
Harper was one of the few leaders to stand up boldly for Israel (and defend Western civilization).
I’m afraid that is about to end.
They will probably win ON with around 40%.
The key to a Liberal majority is Quebec.
Western Canada should go Conservative.
The number of seats (ridings) in the House of Commons were increased to 338 from 308 for this election. The new boundaries are favorable to the Conservative Party, making it a tall order for the Liberals to reach a majority (170 seats).
Most of the new seats are in ON and the rest in Western Canada.
QC won’t matter much tonight.
As usual, ON the most populous province in Canada is the key to the picture.
He’s been the best post WWII PM, in my opinion.
There are now 121 seats in Ontario and Ontario will be a big factor tonight.
Sadly, that is true. A young, attractive young man, a celebrity more than a serious politician, hardly any record to speak of, the family (very Kennedy-esque), and a puppet of the left.
Following his campaign from down here, it is very similar to how Obama ran in 2008.
God save the Queen (that's not a comment on Justin's father). God save Canada.
The Liberals are leading or elected in 30 of the 32 Atlantic ridings (seats) right now.
