NDP doing better than expected. First NDP hold here. PC doing better than expected (presently, i.e. 1/3 counted): By seats awful as expected, but by vote-% they are only 2% behind. Indeed, it'll be interesting to see how the rural areas continue to come in. |

...and the biggest loser is - electronical voting: The results came not faster, as promised, but slowlier in than normally in Canada and now the EC-webSite has completely crashed for at least 45 minutes...

Instead of regaining factionStatus (4 seats required) the Lib.s fell back from 3 to 1. And worst of all their sole elected belongs to an infamous dynasty not so well-liked outside the riding...

Yes, if you watched the outgoing Liberal leader's speech, it was actually quite saddening. The NDP leader played a masterstroke though. |

Either Jagmeet Singh isn't aware that the North West Territories and Nunavut exist, or he's a liar.

I'm assuming you think the news organisations making the same point long before he did are also either lying or mistaken?

And in any case, it appears you are actually mistaken as Inuit and Métis are not considered to be first Nations peoples but rather distinct indigenous groups

Difference is the territories have a commissioner above the Premier (where they represent the Canadian government, not the Crown - therefore they are above the Premier in the constitutional order), while in the provinces, the Premiers are actually the head of government. |

Indeed, being specific by saying provincial premier would have been sensible. Nevertheless it's historic within a province or territory with a small minority indigenous population (bearing in mind NWT in 1984 included what is now Nunavut). |

3 days ago, the Green Party of Canada won their first seat in the Ontario Assembly in a sensational gain from the New Democratic Party, via a by-election in Kitchener Central.
Perennial candidate John C. Turmel, holder of the Guinness Record for most elections contested and lost, polled his second lowest vote total ever in that by-election-13, but amazingly that was only bad enough to finish third-last.

Oh, boy. 1. In Canada, the federal and provincial parties are usually not affiliated, so, that is the Green Party of Ontario. 2. The Ontario Greens already hold the seat of Guelph, with their leader Mike Morrice. 3. Ontario doesn't have an Assembly, but a Provincial Parliament. |

Morrice is the federal MP for Kitchener Centr e. |

I’m surprised that no one is talking about the meltdown of the Canadian Liberals. They are now down by 20%…
