Outremont… with 5 polls reporting, NDP leading Liberals with nearly 50% of the vote.
(Jason, calm yourself. It’s early.)
Outremont … with 10 polls reporting, NDP leading Liberals 45% of the vote…
(jason, put down the glass. You’ll regret it tomorrow.)
Outremont … with 45 polls reporting, NDP leading Liberals with 49% of the vote…
(Jason, it’s not the dog’s fault. Stop kicking him.)
In other Earth Saving political developments, the Green Party is leading the NeoRhino candidate by a margin of 4 to 1. Good times at Elizabeth May’s tonight!
Outremont … with 60 polls reporting, NDP leading Liberals with 48.5% of the vote …
(Jason, come away from that window. Have another drink.)
Speaking of drink – you may take one for every time someone being interviewed on CPAC says “Stephane Dion is our leader”.
Outremont … with 100 polls reporting, NDP leading Liberals with 48.5% of the vote…
(The phone at Jason’s keeps ringing. Could someone please blackberry him for me and check that he’s ok?)
In the “Liberal stronghold” of Outremont, with the entire Liberal Quebec caucus holding tight to the handrails as she submerges below the waves…. Jocelyn Coulon has conceded defeat – “I feel as though I’ve won tonight”.
(Jason… put down the gun.)
From the comments (along with many excellent limericks) – “Pinhead just switched to English, and thanked “all Liberal militants.” I kid you not.”
There once was a blogger named Jason
Recent history he liked erase’n
he cried “tories cheat!”
but then got cold feet
now Dion’s credibility he’s still chase’n
9:21 PM: Denis Lebel is spanking Celine Houde in Roberval. Tories aren’t far off in St. Hyacinthe, either. Results are ridiculously slow from Outremont.
Roberval is declared a conservative victory. Everything else too early,but libs are behind in outremont.
Tories and NDP will pick up one seat each. The other is up for grabs.
There once was a blogger named Cherniak
Found the Liberal burden gave a herniac
But couldn’t purge
that Liberal scourge
Now forever a barely-clever maniac.
9:40 PM. Liberals have about 8% in St. Hyacinthe, 9% in Roberval, and about 26% in Outremont. Tomorrow might be a good day to be selling knives in Quebec, assuming there are still some Liberals who don’t have one.
Duffy on CTV has said that the NDP are winning because people are confused about which party Mulcair is running for..is he a Liberal or is he NDP.
Mrs. Cherniak’s little boy Jason,
The left-wing ideal is chasin’.
But the ideal’s a fraud
Power’s their only God,
And his credibility’s down in the basement.
Mulcair’s pulling away… 48% to just under 30% for Coulon. Goodbye….
there was a blogger from richmond hill
and Liberals gave him an enormous…thrill
the results of the night
gave him a bone chilling fright
as Dion’s seats amounted to nil
There was a young blogger named jason,
A liberal job he was chasin’
Poll results caught his eye,
So he started to cry,
Better bring me that big barf basin!
I think I’m a syllable off somewhere, but i’m triying to watch football.
Jason Cherniak is such a “tool”.
If he didn’t censor his blog comments so heavily he would have a better grasp of whats going on.
Horny toad
I did not even know there was a neoRhino party. Thanks Kate. Check out the wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neorhino.ca
and who the current leader is. I nearly fell of my chair laughing.
Less than 10% turnout for change in Outremont? I hardly consider that a major victory for the sweeping forces of change that the NPD are promising.
Are you sure Roberval–Lac-Saint-Jean is in Quebec? Conservatives at 59% are Alberta type numbers. Gotta love it!
Liberals slipped to 2nd in Outremont, 3rd in Roberval, and running 4th right now in Saint Hy.
Conservatives win 1, are running close in another and were 3rd in Outremont fro a time.
This is about as good as it gets. (except the NDP made a gain)… A travesty to be sure. The conservatives should have run hard it could have been a 3 way race. That is assuming the rumors of Tories promoting voting for the NDP to defeat Coulon have any credibility
Well, don’t I feel like an idiot. That is a running tally in TOTAL. Poor script elections Canada!
I wonder if Jason is wishing to have back that poll that showed the NDP with only a 6 point lead.
The one he was doubting because the Jewish community was all going to vote liberal and the poll was taken during festivities preparation.
yeah… “My kingdom to only be down 6 points…”
🙂
Holy sh–! It’s the NDP by 21 points and 1700 votes in Outremont right now. Just by a plane ticket and save yourself the trouble, Stephane.
A partisan blogger named Cherniak
practiced the art of the cheap attack.
His logic was frail,
his come-backs did fail,
and showed the world he was a sorry hack.
Roberval is declared a conservative victory!!!
yes yes yes!!!!!
The really good news here is that tomorrow Jack Layton is going to plant his face in front as many TV cameras as he can find and announce that the NDP is now the alternative to the Conservatives, and some lefties will believe him.
“Good times at Elizabeth May’s tonight!”
Which place? The mansion in Rockliffe, or the compound in Nova Scotia? She owns an awful lot of expensive property for a woman who waitressed her way through university and has worked in the nonprofit sector most of her adult life, and I don’t think the coin came from her family. She might be more wealthy on paper than Stephen Harper. Where did Elizabeth May get her money?
It should be easy for the CPC to recruit star candidates in Quebec now.
I wouldn’t start planning that party for Elisabeth May’s yet Kate.
the neorhino:green ration is down to 1:3.12
An the 4TH (4TH place) (running 4th) liberal candidate (such that he is) still has almost twice as many votes. This is despite their mutual decision to no be national parties anymore.
The reasons for this ass-kicking that come out of the libs should be good for a laugh or two.Confused voters,people voting NDP because they don’t like the conservatives, and the latest has bloc voters voting NDP and conservative to hurt the libs. Jason has no comments on his blog as of 5 minutes ago.I am persona non grata there ,so maybe others should go console him.
Why can’t CBC or CTV have someone on like William Johnston and this other French guy? Johnston’s just declared the end of the Liberal Party in Quebec, it’s crumbling, it’s collapsed everywhere except Montreal and they can’t even win Outremont. Both commentators giving the Conservative major props for leading a true movement in the province. It’s now a Bloc vs. Conservative province, Liberals are dead. Un-freaking-believable.
Looking at the faces of Irwin Cotler, Gerard Kennedy, Martha-Yappy-Finley, Pablo the hockey-hater, Dryden the hockey player, Slimey Codere on the Outremont podium – I’ve never seen such miserable mugs. Only one who doesn’t look like he’s about to shoot himself is Iggy – standing off at the far side, looking smug (did I just see a little smile?)
Jason’s blog is getting interesting,go take a look. Right now many things are going through his mind. I would suggest that it is mostly wind.
no one has called st hyacinthe yet?
Dion and his pinhead candidate just stepped to the podium. Pinhead is smiling, Dion looks frazzled and weepy. Iggy still looking smug.
The Glibs and the NDP are interchangeable.
(And the province of quebec is so politically backward, that they would not know the difference.)
Correction, Pablo is not on the podium…it’s another guy.
Dismal showing for the Green Party —- to say the least. Shocking, when one considers how the media were pumping them up.
A kick in the ass for Suzuki, May et al, I would say.
How about that Lac Saint-Jean !!?? 60% in favour of a well run Canada — no matter which province the PM is from.
Does not suprise me one bit. A couple of years ago I was searching for a small aircraft in the Lac Saint-Jean area. Talked to a number of great guys out there. Straight shooters. They were very polite and got a kick out of me trying it ‘en francais’ 🙂
Pinhead just switched to English, and thanked “all Liberal militants.” I kid you not.
Dion now steps to the plate…
The Liberals are averaging a little under 14% of the total vote so far. Dion’s political vital signs are about as good as Castro’s. He’s done.
I think Dion just said that the parties that believe in Canada are stronger tonight.
flaggman: What is Citoyen saying? In detail, svp. Speak, please.
wallyj: yes, he did say the parties that believe in Canada are stronger tonight, and he’s saying it over and over again. Since his party is much weaker tonight, he must mean that the Liberal Party does not believe in Canada, and that only the Conservatives and NDP do believe in Canada.
He did.he just said it again. Hasn’t anyone told him that the other parties won seats,and the libs did not.
I wonder when Dion will hoist the white flag over Liberal headquarters.
CTV Newsnet: Dion’s rambling, and rambling, and rambling.
Dear god, this is almost too painful to watch.
Almost.
Vive le Quebec Libre.
Wow…Jason Cherniak, Garth Turner and Stephane Dion all relegated to the political wilderness in one fell swoop.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of fellas.
Syncro
Finally, the Libranos are getting kicked right where they deserve to be kicked, and hard too.
maz2: No hint of resignation. Just called it a low point that his party will look back on when it regains power. DENIAL DENIAL DENIAL. Then made excuse after excuse, like the Conservatives won in Roberval only because the people there wanted to get rid of the Bloc and they chose the Conservatives instead of the Liberals, just bad luck. For Outremont, said that the Liberals don’t just tell people what they want to hear, like the NDP who promised to get us out of Afghanistan right away, we’re more realistic and pragmatic, we’ll get us out slower(?)
Before he finished, CPAC switched over to Mulcair’s acceptance speech.
Look at the Conservative results: 60% in Roberval and they’re within 8 points in St. Hyacinthe. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner. But of course it also means you can forget about an election this fall; Duceppe won’t want one any more than Dion will, and that assumes Dion will even be around by say, Thanksgiving.
I am waiting for him to start saying “This is not fair!”
So the liberals tanked. The Bloc mostly tanked. The NDP made a gain, but less than nothing in the other 2 ridings.
Does any of those 3 want an election??
Must note that it would take all 3 to force one.
Muclair – same old sustainable-development, no-war, enviro-pandering lefty crap. Campaign manager was Blaikie’s daughter (deep roots in downtown…Winnipeg). Especially thanks Professor Omar Atouf (sp?) and some other professor for building him a base. Curious. Also thanks Olivia Chow for bringing out the Chinese vote – seriously.
Harper might be thinking about how to engineer an election with results like this. The conservative tally was higher than the polling in each riding.
Poll/actual
St Hyacinthe 32/37
Roberval 43/60
Outremont 7/8
If the conservatives can win 60% in Roberval and 37% in Ste Hyacinthe, this bodes well for the whole province.
