Slight LPC lead in Terrebonne now with 55/211 polls reporting. This one may be a nail biter.

Isn't the longest ballot stunt being held in terrebonne?

thats what i wondered? Do they only do it in one riding at a time?

They're going to catch up on the last few polls

With almost three quarters of polls reporting, that ~770 vote lead is looking increasingly solid. The remaining polls would have to break very hard BQ to swing it…

Popular vote shows the cpc down a solid 10% vs the 2025 general election

After swinging to ~ 900 vote lead, now settled back to just over 400 around 260. It's gonna be a long night.

You think it's funny.

I see it as an opportunity to settle things with another politician boxing match.

We are not the same.

It might influence parties to run male candidates in close ridings.

But the top two are women in this case so I think it's alright.

 

[Altair]

Yeah, I believe that's the case.

I don't think it matters since they go to a write in ballot, the stunt is over.

All said, LPC wins in Terrebonne. 800ish vote margin. Carney sweeps, 174 seats. (For now)

With the majority now solidified I’m curious to see what the legislative priorities are.

I don’t know enough about parliamentary process to know the mechanism, but I guess a next step will be getting a majority on all the existing committees so their legislation can more more swiftly.

The priority was retaining power. That's why they bought floor crossers. If it was the economy they'd have been working with PP for the last year to pass legislation which they flatly refused to do.

If it's power it will be business as usual.

If it's speeding things along, expect a vote in the house about changing the standing orders of committees to give the LPC the majority on all of them.

Ok that’s nice, but like I said I wonder what the government’s legislative priorities will be.

Given the CPC jammed up literally the basic tax cut in committee for months, forgive me for thinking it’s reasonable that the government may not have seen that as the most productive way forward. The CPC could be counted on not to force an election but that’s about it.

 

[Halifax Tar]

You've got your majority now LPC.

I expect things to improve by Friday
