Michelle Malkin is doing a nice job of sending her sizable audience to get the latest in Canadian election coverage.
Poll closing times have been staggered to minimize the lag time between east and west coast results, however, if you’re looking for an advance peek at regional returns, I’m told Captains Quarters will be liveblogging.
I currently don’t have plans to be online – I’m planning on a night out with a few friends in front of a big screen tv with a beer in my hand. But if I can get a hookup for my laptop, I may get a post or update in.
The comments thread will also be open. See above – I won’t be here to police things, so behave yourselves, and don’t feed the inevitable trolls.

650 CKOM will be posting results on their website as soon as Sask polls close. The little map should update automatically as the night goes on. |
A final note – I am making no predictions whatsoever. I don’t know that it’s really possible for any pollster to predict how votes may split, or the effect of a dismal campaign on a disappointed Liberal base. I’m content to just wait and see, and keep my fingers crossed for my own CPC candidate, Carol Skelton.
One final reminder to those who will be watching live – early returns tend to favour urban results. In ridings with urban/rural splits, the rural (conservative leaning) polls tend to come in a little later and in many cases, early leads by the left are overtaken. The trend isn’t as strong as it was some years ago, due to better communcations, but it still exists.
Other links I’ve been sent in the past week: ( I have no idea what they plan on doing – perhaps just sharing their emotional highs and lows…)

Send your trackbacks, and comments, but I do advise Canadian bloggers not to overtly break the ban on posting results directly.
Also – judging by the google generated traffic, there’s a chance the server’s going to get slammed by this evening. Try to do your part by taking it easy on the reloads when reading comments.
And while we wait, a thoughtful piece by Pieter Dorsman on the future of the left in Canada.
Update: Kate Foxworthy moment: When you’re working as a scrutineer at a polling station and some guy rides up in a sled and votes in a full face helmet and gear – and everyone knows who he is – you might be in Saskatchewan.
I’m a little uncomfortable with the concept of “correction” as defined by hoss, though.
Living on the left coast, your perception is likely coloured by…well…the left.
Just follow along and learn by example. Your correction will proceed from that.
I suspect we could still be here a year from now, so I’m checking out of this thread.
Just remember, I have no problem with your faith. All I ask is the same respect for my liberty.
Just remember, without people of faith you wouldn’t have liberty.

Sorry, what was this thread about…?
Oh yeah, God.
“God is good, God is great,
God bless this food, good God let’s eat!”
That is about the theological depth of a lot of Christians, and therein lies the problem.
I would that you were hot or cold, but because you are lukewarm…
You don’t ‘win’ people over to Christianity by berating them, while at the same time being a doormat doesn’t help either.
So there has to be a balance in this walk. Walk softly and carry a big stick is my principle
😉

You don’t ‘win’ people over to Christianity by berating them…
I don’t think pointing out hard truths to atheists is berating them. Scripture goes even further.
Psalms 14:1, ” The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”
True, ol hoss, but at the same time don’t entertain fools lest you partake of their sins.
A horse led to water doesn’t always drink. Christianity is a person choice, not a religion of rules.
Granted, darkness has to be exposed.
As, sorry if I mangle this quote, “for evil to prevail good men must do nothing”
cheers
