Toet won the last election by a very small margin against Jim malloway so there was a good chance that he would have lost this time anyway. There was strategic voting as the Liberals were nonexistant in 2011 (they had 10% of the votes the ndp or cons did) but got enough to split the vote. I will say that if people had any idea of how far the Liberals would rise in this riding, then I think it goes red instead of orange. The liberals shot up about 10k votes this time around and that was using a candidate who had zero ties to the community. Things could be much different in future elections.

Blaikie pulls it out in the end. 51 vote difference so it will go to a recount.

Transcona is my riding and it's incredibly close. 1 vote separating the top two after 179 of 187 polls have reported. Huge turn out as well.

It's a complete collapse. Even Layton's widow couldn't win tonight. That should spell the end of Mulcair.

Some very interesting results in Winnipeg so far. Fletcher is in danger of losing his seat. Transcona/Elmwood is a tight 3 way race with 40 votes separating 1st and 3rd.

Very early but Mulcair is trailing in his riding.

A few networks (cbc & ctv for example) already calling it for the Liberals. They won't speculate on whether or not it will be a majority.

Unless we got him on a 3 year deal, I would rather sign him in the off season.

So after watching the Montreal debacle does anyone still want to rush to Glenn's defense? Yeah there were more problems than just him but he was pretty crap all on his own. Well Nichols couldn't play after just joining a new team, Glenn could, still coming up Glenn. I don't know - he wasn't terrible but really, two days of practice and he starts. QBing must really be an issue in Montreal. Is Crompton hurt again? May have missed some stuff as only concentrating on bombers and eskie news right now. Montreal put him on the 6 game list on Sept 30th.

Nope, I'm good with your explanation. I didn't take any offense to your original comments, I just didn't see a need for the insults. After 80 pages of this (and god knows how many deleted pages), I'm very glad this is almost over!

Your comment about "shy Tories" and how they affected the polls in England really made me think of all of the people that have told me this election "I'm voting Conservative, but don't tell anyone", including this morning. It makes me wonder how many people are in that same boat. I look at all of the personal attacks made on the two of us here, and it really is a reflection of why people are downright afraid to speak up anymore unless they say they are voting Liberal or New Dumb. It's not worth the aggravation and the insults. Just quietly vote Conservative, and move on, without having to be yelled at by imbeciles. Are you really quietly moving on though? You have so many posts like this, where you insult people with differing opinions, yet you are surprised and upset and you get attacked in return. You could have made the exact same post without the insults and it would have carried a lot more weight.

And that same wiki page has the WFP being neutral.

You hire a coach who is brain dead and makes playing hockey terrible for these guys that's what happens. Seriously Yakupov considered quitting because of Dallas Eakins. Now that they've flushed that turd and the turd that hired him things are going to improve and the bitching and moaning from everyone about the draft picks is going to be fun to watch. It's obviously very early and playing with McDavid doesn't hurt but Yakupov looks much better than than the last couple seasons.

The Toronto Star had virtually the same article 2 months ago (it was written by the same guy - Bruce Cheadle of the CP) and that was well before Trudeau took over the polls. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/08/03/will-2015-election-campaign-see-nixons-justin-trudeau-prophecy-fulfilled.html

Joe Mack was not the president or CEO, that was Garth Buchko.

As hilariously pathetic as this would be... it's not completely unfathomable... I'm hoping Toronto is on "rest up for the playoffs" mode for our last game.

John Ojo in Edmonton will be tough competition for the western nomination.

Westerman, like Johnny Adams, doesn't qualify as a rookie due to his NFL experience. Bass will get that nomination.

And William Lyon Mackenzie King employed a full time psychic so he could talk to his dead mother and dead dog. Lots of weird stuff goes on in Ottawa. It must have worked for him considering how long he was in power!

Really??? Well compared to JT he's out of style. But I don't recall any PM's who were ever cutting edge of style. Harper generally looks fine though, put together. Just a dated hair cut. Yeah I don't expect the PM to be on the front cover of GQ or anything but you'd think that the stylist would have done something with that hair. It's ironic since they made JT's hair such a focal point of their campaign.

Agreed that Calgary isn't a great team but that doesn't take away from how Edmonton has played. Mcdavid has definitely had his best game.

The Oilers are looking much better tonight.

It's very weird when you consider he's the 1st PM that employs a full-time stylist.

Geoff Kirbyson ✔ @geoffkirbyson Jets fans have been heard. True North to raise every seat in the upper bowl by 2.5 inches to improve sightlines due to loge seating.

Hope it's not the game on the 23rd... because that's in Hamilton now! 3rd time the Argo's are getting kicked out this season. http://www.thespec.com/sports-story/5964154-argos-forced-to-reschedule-another-home-game/
