The current leadership isn't managing it well either. No external investigation should have been approved unless the Conservatives also agreed on an investigation in their islamophobia. The EHRC investigation wasn’t commissioned by the current leadership, and, if the Commission decides to investigate having received a complaint(s), the subject of the investigation has no choice and can’t dictate terms such as insisting on a corresponding investigation into Islamaphobia in the Conservative Party. The fact it decided to investigate Labour but rejected multiple complains about the Conservative Party despite evidence shows the EHRC is biaised and it should have been the only answer from Labour to the "report".

Clearly yes Say what you want about the AS crisis in Labour, I'm the first to say that Corbyn handled it appallingly and have said as such on this forum many times But anybody that genuinely believes Corbyn himself is an anti semite is acting in tremendously bad faith The current leadership isn't managing it well either. No external investigation should have been approved unless the Conservatives also agreed on an investigation in their islamophobia.

are the postal votes listed as counted on this page included in the figures elsewhere on the site and is there anybody tracking how postal votes differ from other votes in the same riding so far? They are added to the total on that website.

Does anyone know what happened in the end in Trois Rivieres, as it seems to have got removed from the listing after the BQ lead went down to 33. Is there a recount procedure and does anyone know how that would work? Of course I reckon really Trois Rivieres, if you translate it, ought to be a Lib Dem stronghold. We are still waiting on postal votes to be reported. www.elections.ca/enr/help/help_sta_e.htm

Presumably as well they're just going to be releasing the results of these ballots all at once for each constituency rather than update as they go? I think they update as they go.

Does one party control each of the rivers? Despite the name, there is only one river (St. Maurice) with multiple mouths.

Gatineau looks weird but it's only one polling station: Rachid Jemmah Green 68.0 % 54 votes Luc Lavoie Free Party of Canada 20.0 % 16 votes Joel E. Bernard Conservative 5.0 % 4 votes Mathieu Saint-Jean People's Party 3.0 % 2 votes Steven MacKinnon Liberal Incumbent 1.0 % 1 votes Geneviève Nadeau Bloc Québécois 1.0 % 1 votes Sébastien Grenier Parti Rhinoceros Party 1.0 % 1 votes Pierre Soublière Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada 1.0 % 1 votes Fernanda Rengel New Democrat 0.0 % 0 votes Smells like a misfilled result (right numbers in the wrong columns).

Strong local candidate who finished 2nd last time, Liberal incumbent dropped by the party due to sexual allegations, but still on ballot. Ah, that'll be intriguing to watch! It is also an NDP target (they hold the area provincially) and Conservatives hope to come up in the middle.

A perfect night would be 4 (their 2 BC seats + leader in Toronto Centre + Kitchener Centre. Well a perfect night would be also holding onto the Fredericton seat they won in 2019 (before the MP defected to the Liberals), but that's definitely lost. I can also bet a million bucks that Annamie Paul will get trounced in Toronto Centre. Don't know the situation in Kitchener. Strong local candidate who finished 2nd last time, Liberal incumbent dropped by the party due to sexual allegations, but still on ballot.

If the Green vote in Atlantic Canada is any indication, it'll be a good night if they hold onto 2 seats across the whole country! A perfect night would be 4 (their 2 BC seats + leader in Toronto Centre + Kitchener Centre.

A reminder there will be a significant amount of postal voting counted tomorrow. Polling indicated that the NDP should win it, with the Conservative 3rd. To keep in mind while looking the result.

The main thing I'm certain about so far is that one of the X-Men is defending a seat. And she is the first MP of the night to lose her seat.

I also found it confusing that they used "declared" for what was actually "our call" rather than "the officials actually in charge of counting this have made the formal announcement as to who won". No official call is made until the returning officer signs the papers in like 2 weeks.

Because they don't know that. If I remember correctly you live in Val de Lac in the geographically enormous north Quebec riding. Who’s going to win in your riding? The Bloc. Incumbent has an high profile and good record, the Liberals could have won, but their Quebec campaign was average and named their candidate after the election call (an Anishnabe from outside the riding). Also, they won't rack up the Native vote, as the NDP is running the former deputy Chief of the largest Cree community. Conservatives selected a good candidate and he is trying very hard, but they are not winning here unless they are on route towards a Mulroney-like landslide.

One of the odd things about Canadian election results broadcasting is the way everyone seems to regard the first votes from a Riding as being massively significant in showing which way things are going, even when the number of votes is tiny. They are significant, but unfortunately the Canadian broadcasters usually don’t tell us what the significance of the numbers are. They tell us that the first 2 or 3 polling stations have XYZ votes, but they don’t tell us which polling stations they are and therefore don’t tell us what the percentage swings are compared with last time. Because they don't know that.

She broke with the left-wing of the party by being vocally pro-Iraq War and spending a lot of capital and time trying to make illegal to "disrespect" the American flag. Pretty much, she is an hawk on foreign affairs. A lot of Democrats backed Bush on Iraq at the time albeit don’t remember the numbers off the top of my head And the left of the party never forgave them. These days, it is considered to be a significant blemish on your record in a primary.
