Blackie will continue as PM because millions of Canadians are immoral.
Jughead will become more prominent and powerful and Butts & Co. won’t like that.
Scheer will piss and moan.
May is going to be replaced.
The RCMP won’t do jack about SNC.
Canada’s deficit spending, immigration, regulation and taxation will increase.
K-bec will get more power and money and autonomy.
Another winter is coming.
American citizen May is upset that her party isn’t doing well. So yesterday she was whining how other parties are mean to her, and she wants the voting age dropped down to 16 and proportional representation, so she is given seats in parliament.
Voting age of 16 — why not 12? No wonder serious people do not vote Green
I live in the middle of Green madness, greater Victoria.
Otherwise normal sane intelligent people, go delusional over the green mantra here. It’s a head shaker.
The center of it, the city (I don’t pay taxes there) is the apex of lunacy. Many renters and apartment dwellers, post modern hippies, granola eaters, SJW types, bike lane fanatics, straw banners, you name it. That’s Victoria, the worst group of virtue signallers you can imagine.
Why do I live here? Closing out my career along with my sig other, but we leave after that. Maybe for Canmore or some other Alberta destination that will be independent of Liberal/NDP madness
“Bike lane fanatics”
Isn’t that the truth. Just last week I leaned on my horn at a pair of spandex clad Nancy boys on bicycles, who instinctively spun round and flipped me off – tough girls the boys were. Why did I blast them? Because while I was about to turn right after stopping for a red light (legal here in CA) these two clowns blew past me on the right … from our “Shared Bike/Auto Lane” … and straight across the interesection on a stale RED light.
Next time, I will simply punch the accelerator instead of the horn.
She is not just an American citizen, she IS an AMERICAN! (Who just happens to live in Canada). BORN in the USA of US BORN Parents. She could be president of the USA! (Well, after Obama, I guess anyone qualifies)..
That or a Scheer minority which will trigger a non-confidence vote from a Lib/NDP coalition to trigger new elections in 2020
Full circle of insanity.
#PPC supporters keep your lawn signs; 2020 will be key for us. Don’t rest.
God bless Canada and the PPC!
VOTE PPC !! For the survival of your great country. Reject lukewarm conservatism … or you’ll get a PM in the mold of Mittens Romney
He was banned from a muslim community debate, but LibCons were welcomed.
Imho, the Trudeau will refuse to resign unless CPC gets majority of seats, an unlikely event.
Remember, these statist power lusters wanted to defeat Harper, 10 seats shy of majority with an unheard of minority coalition, where Lib/NDP seats combined were still far less than the Conservatives, so needed traitor Bloc support.
So we all know what this bunch is capable of in their pursuit of raw power over us.
If somehow Scheer wins 140+ plus seats and the Liberals do what is honourable, expected and on precedent, and resign, later to plot his removal in their favour, PM Scheer should hold off as long as possible bringing parliament back, to force an election should he lose confidence on the Throne Speech.
Joe Clark held off a new Parliamentary session after his 1979 victory over Trudeau. The eastern media cartel didn’t like it then, insinuating Clark was afraid to face Parliamentary opposition and was governing by secret decree. It wouldn’t be a good look for Scheer either.
Mackenzie King was accused by his political opponents of clinging on to power with the tenacity of a “lobster with lockjaw”. Why? Because King, the incumbent PM, came out of a general election losing his own seat, losing the popular vote nationally, leading only the second party in the HoC, (the Conservatives were only a few seats short of an outright majority), and, furthermore, he did not have an agreement of support, formal or otherwise, with the Progressive third party. Nevertheless, King still claimed to possess the moral right to govern. The GG provisionally acceeded to King. After it became clear that King did not have the support of Parliament, he then demanded that Parliament be dissolved. (Because King lacked a majority in committees, he was unable to suppress investigations into the widespread financial corruption of his Ministry. King needed to change the channel fast.) When, however, the GG refused his request, King made a huge issue of it, asserting that a “foreign power” was interfering in the right of Canadians to govern themselves. Since the Conservatives were as useless then as now, King won a subsequent election. The King interpretation of his electoral victory was the Canadian electorate essentially ratified his political claims. While it is true that, since the days of the “King-Byng” affair all minority governments have been the plurality party, it is not true that if a PM chose to act as King did, this could be considered precedential.
I think the moral of the King-Byng story is that Canada has rarely ever had an effective political opposition to the Natural Governing Party, and this is mostly due to an apathetic and/or easily manipulated and misinformed public. This will probably never change.
Oh I remember well and, then, not even the corruptocrats of the Librano party would take the Bloc into government but if the Dippers and Liars combined have more seats this time, well, that’s how it works. They can form a government or … try to. The fact that Dips and Libs hate each other won’t stop them but will eventually break the deal.
Someone called into 770 am in Calgary said there was an instagram post about a polling station in Toronto(?) where an election worker opened a guys ballot, made their own mark on kit, spoiling it. Tried to record it but they called police…
Scheep will keep his job.
Prinz Dummkopf will continue kicking Alberta, and Lotusland, southern Ontario, Quebec, and Fishland will cheer.
Our “justice” system will become more like that of the UK.
We will continue bailing out Prinz Dummkopf’s favourite companies.
China will own more of Canada.
Whites, heterosexuals, and Christians will have even fewer rights.
Tough to get excited about any of this. As I see it, the country has about a 1 in 3 chance of ridding itself of brain cancer and replacing it with a nasty case of lupus, but only temporarily…
Inside the cities, I suspect the Liberals are already tallying ballots…….actual voters are not really needed.
Crooked Media, crooked courts, crooked votes.
Your local Liberal knows what’s best for you.
Always and all ways.
I’ve been following the media’s spiel since Trudeau called the election. My how the Liberals “path to victory” media story has changed from start to finish.
The beginning: Yes, Trudeau will lose votes in most of the west but gains in Quebec, Vancouver and Victoria areas will be enough because he still has a lock on Toronto and Atlantic Canada. Women and young people are his strengths. Media and pollsters verdict : Trudeau can’t lose.
Now: Trudeau will still lose ridings in most of the west. Looks like he may lose ridings in Vancouver and Victoria to NDP and Greens. The Bloc will take quite a few of his hoped for Quebec ridings. Rich people in Toronto are moving NDP. Toronto suburbs are too close to call. Support from women and the young has fallen considerably. But Trudeau has a lock on Atlantic Canada. The media and pollsters verdict : still saying Trudeau can’t lose.
The predictions don’t fit the changes in Trudeau’s electoral circumstances – progressive rivals gaining, the potential of vote splits favoring the CPC, LPC voter disillusionment. The Liberal party has had wide swings of support since Adscam, swings of 50, 60 or more ridings and that could easily happen again given Trudeau’s scandals. His voter base isn’t very loyal or consistent
Conservative support is rock solid in the low 30% range support with voters who consistently go and vote.
As a PrairieWest separatist, the ultimate winning conditions are a progressive coalition that steals power from the CPC plurality and then continues their callous, relentless nation-destroying attacks on Alberta and Saskatchewan. We could then be free and independent in a few short years.
Picking up on your point that conservative support is rock solid in the low 30’s. It seems to me that, at least in the last several federal and provincial elections, the conservatives tend to outperform the polls by 2-4%. Should be interesting.
Agree – CBC has the Conservatives at 32 % thus i predict 35%.
I predict that Justin will not lose his seat but the losses and the scandals will cause him to lose the leadership of the party. If I were Justin, I would take a year-long “personal day” because his party and the Chinese will want some words with him.
Scheer will squeak by with a slim majority.
Until Canadians reform themselves and demand political reform, all elections will be about choosing the cream of the crap.
The Khalistani and the separatist will both make absurd demands in return for their support. The Khalistani will demand Ottawa mothball Trans Mountain. The separatist will demand all the carbon tax money go to Quebec.
Not even Justin will be daft enough to agree to any of that. His name is already mud in Beijing for delays to Trans Mountain.
We’ll be voting again in a few months, and every few months after that until either:
1. Canada has another government willing to send oil to China and not let any Canadians benefit from their own oil wealth.
2. President Trump sends the US army north to give decent people trapped in globalist-controlled Canada a new nation, conceived in liberty.
That last comment is adorable.
If Trump would not stand up for the Kurds (you know – useful people), why would he waste American lives on Canada?
Separation for Alberta…we’re competition to US interests on more than one level. Won’t happen. Your best chance was 30 years ago. Demographics have changed, a lot of things changed. You won’t be allowed to separate this time, bank on it. High River should have been a heads up.
“High River should have been a heads up.”
Says everything…Perfect!
Get rid of rcmp/lucki..
OK,thank you for that reply to AC, who should learn to not sprinkle hallucinogenics on his breakfast cereal.
Trudeau will win his seat, and if he does fail to get a majority,will be well helped to form a coalition by the rest of the Anybody But Conservative bunch.
Antone know of a website outside closetted Little Canader where we can see election results back East before our own polls groan to a halt at 7:30, 9:30 in Quebec?
I’m very cynical about tonight’s result, but hope I’m wrong. The election is even less exciting than CFL football this year. Go Team go!
You have every right to be cynical, Don Morris.
Cheers.
The nutter is plagued with demons.
1. Alberta has far more verified oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, just for example, reserves that no American president would want in Chinese hands.
2. American lives? Up here Americans really would be greeted as liberators, at least in English Canada.
Forget Englishmen with intact genitals serving in what passes for the Canadian army—how many French or Indian girls in uniform do you really think will care to be the last to die for overpriced, awful-tasting cheese with French text on the packaging?
If ordered to fight the Americans, you know just as well as Justin what any Canadian soldiers with the sense God gave them would do. They’d mutiny, desert or surrender en masse.
If the Americans decided to invade Canada they wouldn’t lose a single man. They’d just send the New York National Guard to Ottawa, hoist Old Glory, and that would be it.
Who is there to stop them? The OPP detachment in Cornwall? Ten guys and a truck in Tweed?
Possibly the worst analogy in the history of political commentary.
Well at the very least, I hope, we’ll be rid of Andrew Who.
Little Potato has spent the last four years giving him lots, ‘n Lots, ‘n LOTS of ammunition to put Mr. Trudeau on the train home – and he’s used none of it. Losing an election to Sockpuppet is the ultimate example of pathetic failure – and even if by some miracle the voters hand him a victory, he’s shown himself to be just another do-nothing politician – and the last thing Canada needs is another do-nothing politician in Parliament, especially him.
Goodbye, Mr. Scheer.
Well……it’s been confirmed following a get together yesterday.
My entire family….Parents, Brothers, Wives, Kids…..we all live in incredibly safe Conservative ridings. Our votes will not affect the physical outcome of the election. THEREFORE, we have all committed to Vote for Bernie.
Our hope is that Bernie’s party achieves at least 3-4% of the vote, that might act as a counterweight to the leftist pull of the Red Tories that will be elected.
The issue we agreed upon most? We want to live in a country where we can make strong, logical, reasonable arguments for decreased levels of immigration without being labeled as racist.
Lots of pessimism here. Let’s look at the bright side. Maybe Ralph Goodale will lose his seat. He is 3rd on my list of people I want to see lose. Others are Trudeau himself (I know that’s fantasy), McKenna (could lose, but she has lots if signs up). Karen MCkrimmon. She is in my riding, so I would like her gone. I believe things are pretty close here.
No Time McKenna has a lot of money behind her as she’s the F-face of the Corrupt Liberal Party’s Climate Tax Scam. Only the ENDP candidate can knock her off her proselytizing pedestal.
Fun fact
If the liberals can’t hold on to a majority they will no longer have majority control of the committees.
The polls have lately been consistent in predicting a minority by liberals or conservatives, if the liberals can’t win a majority they lose and they know it.
Their only way out after that is to delay recall of Parliament and engineer their defeat to keep the committees from convening.
I’ve got a feeling this election is about to go horribly wrong. By around 7pm pacific time we’ll see some somber faces around the multi million dollar, highly touted CBC set. Barton will probably be crying by about 9.
I want to believe.
What do they care? None of them is going to get a text message to the effect that his services are no longer required and that his personal effects will be mailed to him. Only people who work for a living need fear that.
Wait for the news of American paratroopers in Ottawa. Then they’ll have something to cry about.
I want to believe too, I’m usually wrong with predictions but I’m hoping hatred of conservatives combined with hatred of that ashole Trudeau creates a dog’s breakfast of Liberal NDP Green votes that allows Scheer to run up the middle and bag ridings.
I’ll buy that scenario and I really think thee’s a strong possibility it will happen.
I hope you are right. I would love to see the paid-and-bought-for Rosemary Barton crying on set.
Well I’m watching the Rebel and when it’s almost time for tears I definitely will switch over to the CBC
DM – When Harper won his majority in 2011 I was hunting in Montana. No Canadian news was available so we found a weak cbc radio signal out of SK. The insufferable Michael Enright was the host along with the requisite fwenchman. They were apoplectic, distraught and otherwise out of sorts at the prospect of Harper. What could be worse?
Naturally we enjoyed their angst/ennui celebrating as a coupla conservatives might travelling through the night in a pickup enjoying the moment.
Abtr, I remember Harper’s first victory as well. I tuned in to the Ceeb, and the Toronto Star’s Julie van Dusen — a cherished left-wing voice on CBC News — was steaming mad. One vould almost see smoke drifting out of her ears.
Sucks to be you, Canada. Soarry, eh?
Doug, what it really sucks to be is a freedom loving small government conservative who lives in a country populated by 60% brain dead socialists. Canada is just a geographical piece of dirt, the people make it what it now is.
I’m with you James, I remember the Hag at 92 % in the polls, you know the polls, the polls, like ones run by Daryl ,the guy dining with Buttsy all the time, the polls and pollsters that our bought and paid for so called media run to constantly to drive the narrative that a moron should be the PM. Well hopefully the “Post Nation State” once known as Canada can rid itself of this moron today, had the Hag won in the US they would be well on their way to Venezuelan status, instead the businessman won and their yearly household income is up 6000 dollars from the Jugears days. The graft and corruption stateside is beginning to be exposed and it is deep, just think how deep it is in the morons administration. Before the moron takes Canada to eating their dogs as opposed to walking them, let’s retire this loser. Like I heard on Roy Green “at least Peeair liked Canadians working hard so he could steal their money, his so called spawn, doesn’t even want Canadians working as they get fleeced”.
I have some faith in Canadians no one with a tiny bit of sense can disregard what Trudeau has done to this country.Scheer wins with a small majority.
My prediction: CBC will call the election before Western Canadians have a chance to get to the polls.
CBC’s Canada ends at the Manitoba/Ontario border. They are creating a self-fulfilling prophesy as Canada West gains support.
The Dems are expert at stuffing ballet boxes so why wouldn’t the Liebels? They have done it in the past. The media in Canada have been paid off by the Liebels to the tune of $600 million and that ignores the CBC that gets $1.5 Billion. Who is kidding who? This election has been decided months ago.
This election will finally galvanize the West into at a minimum a public discussion of our future. As what we know as Canada inevitably crumbles the ground work should be in place to separate. The support for separation is certainly not restricted to AB & SASK. Manitoba and much of BC will opt in without fail. As a BC’er I am there already.
Thinking the same.
Silver lining is this.
The sock monkey wins majority the country won’t last two years, will be broke, broken up, or both.
Sock monkey minority, death by a thousand cuts, loss of control of those committees that start asking inconvenient questions and no power to shut them down plus the above scenario.
Scheer minority slows down the eventual destruction of the country and we spend the next 2 years listening to official Ottawa and their useful idiots whispering in Andy’s ear telling him what he should do so he doesn’t upset liberal voters. Caveat is that the committees are no longer liberal controlled.
Conservative majority the useful idiots spend the next four years claiming election interference and the result was illegal.
Dream outcome, conservative minority propped up by a PPC caucus and the liberals reduced to 11 seats (below the threshold for official party status and no liberal caucus in senate to allow them to retain official status).
I’m a American in Montana who wishes that Trudeau bites the dust.
Best wishes you guys.
Thanks
Back in the 80’s I was traveling through Montana and got pulled over for speeding all I paid was 5 dollars cash and went on my merry way..
You sure that Montana had a speed limit in the 80’s … I remember no speed limits, but that was before the progressives that needed funding for turtle Xings
I believe they had a night time speed limite, but no daylight speed limit. That came to end in around 2000 when the State of Montana instituted around the clock speed limit of 85 mph – to the extent I recall.
In order to qualify for federal funding, they had to enforce the national speed limit in some fashion, which they did…with a $5 penalty for “wasting fuel” that was enforced sporadically.
Visiting the Moose down town Kalispell about twice a year from Alberta.
I stayed at the OutLaw Inn it was a Saturday night the next morning we were heading for California I got to the bar early and the special that night was Long Island Ice Tea three shots of rum in each glass.
Got into some trouble that night and stumbled into my hotel room and I can see my work truck driving up to pick me up so I staggered and collected all of my gear and climb into the truck that was like a motor home with a bench seat in the back and when I woke up we were already in California…
Merci.
Thanks for that. My Montana neighbor, now moved was married to a true blue, born and bred Albertan. A mover and shaker of Wild Rose. A real fighter. Danielle Smith sand bagged him when she crossed to the Redmonton PC’s.
She’s forever dirt to me.
Brad Wall is practicing his French
Not sure it will do him much good after the country falls apart.
And so it begins..

Here is the SECURE bag the advance polls box is kept in! #canadavotes2019 #Elexn43
The boxes are sealed and scrutineers from all parties inspect the seal before counting begins. The seals are numbered and recorded and that is also scrutineered.
Done the polls a few times, scrutineers were few and none.
I got some black scowls at the polling station, I told a friend of mine that as soon as I was finished voting, I was going home, and changing into a Hijab and coming back to vote again with wife’s card (Wife doesn’t vote)
We’re basically screwed, my best case scenario is that the Conservatives win with a minority government, although honestly I’d be fine if the Liberals got a minority government because at least that would teach the “Conservatives” a lesson, hopefully the PPC can get a few seats as well and kick out the greens
Scheer majority.
The polls are fake and talk of a liberal/NDP coalition is only a unifor wet-dream.
Advance polls are the highest in Canadian history because conservative voters would walk on broken glass to replace this duplicitous government. Trudeau is finished.
I’ll be shocked is Scheer gets a majority. I’d be wary of reading too much into the turnout for the advanced voting – a lot of this is just people voting early, not necessarily inspired by anything but out of convenience.
Everyone in the Universe (except for Cole Slaw) recognizes that high voter turnout at the advance polls is bad news for the incumbent. Final counts have always confirmed this. It was a Thanksgiving weekend which is not a convenient time for most Canadians.
Have to agree. Same thing happened with Kenny/Notley. There may be hope, but I’m not holding my breath.
Larry D., I hope you would be right, buy my head thinks you are wrong. Love your avitar name though. I saw Dirty Harry 3 too, and Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) posing as “Larry Dickman” in a brothel was hilarious.
The media is sure, as they were with Trump, that Scheer and the CPC have no path to victory; so that’s encouraging.
They are people who really want to vote and it is usually because they want change rather than for any other reason.
Winter in Florida or Arizona calling.
Did a national poll for well known pollsters this morning.
A number of the questions insist that you answer the way they want you to. Had to quit before done.
Liberals this and Liberals that,
I always give the GreeNDP’est answers I can to any of those polls. So when reality is revealed, they all look idiots.
Read everything Canadian politics at the Buffalo Chronicle.. Post Haste.
When voting remember this.
IN 2015 THERE WERE 70 SEATS THAT WERE WON BY LESS THAN 5%
Somebody posted this the other day from a senate report that 103,000 people (minimum) have voter cards who aren’t Canadian.
And when voting remember this:
Andy doesn’t want you deplorable Islamphobes & racissts polluting his big new tent.
You can go vote for the raciss party. Or just stay home.
You’re an idealist and I’m pragmatic.
Both of hearts are with Max and the PPC
This election is about voting the Trudeau Libranos out.
Voting for lessor of evils still takes you down the the same road to the same destination just at a slower pace prolonging the agony.
Pragmatic?
We learned few days ago the CPC paid a hired mudslinger to take out the PPC.
And pragmatic is for PPC voters to vote CPC?
Pragmatic is to vote PCC and reduce the CPC to two votes and send the CPC to the wilderness again.
Every election, it’s about voting out the other guy, never voting FOR something. The establishment has this figured out. Vote Harlem Globetrotters or you get the Washington Generals. Same game; same policies. Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dumb.
Well I’ve had enough of it. I am not afraid that the Liberals will screw things up and be corrupt; we know they will. I also know that the Conservatives will do nothing; they never did under Stephen Harper who I had great hopes of but he allowed the party apparatus to stifle his better instincts. So we got bijou tax cuts targeted at small segments of the population; no real change. Oh, and deficits.

Complacency is our greatest enemy – Pay no attention to the media or the polls. Nothing would make them happier than to have conservatives shrugging their shoulders and staying home.
Vote as if your life depends on it.
Will this be Prinz Dummkopf’s victory performance?
(“If you think this country’s bad off now, just wait ’til I get through with it.”)
On the other hand, he might start his victory speech by paraphrasing Ronald Reagan:
“I’m pleathed to annouthe we have jutht outlawed Albewta fowevew….”
You forgot the hoarse huffing and puffing of emoting.
The commercials the Libs ran over the weekend were horrid in their faux hysteria with Groper huffing and puffing
He was out there today with his kids at the polling station . Are you allowed to bring kids into the polling station? Can every one do this? Seems a but contrived to me.
Yes you can.
Kudos to Elections Canada — they blanketed the hospitals giving patients the opportunity to vote in the advance polls … they only needed to look at your hospital bracelet to confirm who you were (knowing the hospitals had your complete ID for admission). I’m out but weak … so don’t need to stand in long lines today to vote. Absolutely brilliant.
Scott, hang in there, and am praying you get better.

And I’m supposed to believe my vote is so valued I should go start up my overtaxed car, burn overtaxed fuel, and waste my time to put a mark on a ballot? Please God let me wake up from this nightmare.
Similar in my riding. The PPC candidate was the only one knocking on doors, and he were told so by many.
There’s not even any lawn signs this year. Hamilton Ontario, usually a sign forest, now a sign desert.
People don’t want to be targets, I guess.
Our riding is Edmonton Strathcona. Worth watching. Until last week the Conservative had a lead here of a few percent. Then the Greenie dropped out and instructed his supporters to vote NDP. Now the polls have NDP by a hair. IF they are correct, the couple % points the PPC candidate gets will cost the Conservatives this seat.
As mentioned above, polls here tend to underestimate conservative support by a few points for a variety of reasons. Hope that’s the case this time.
Well it IS Redmonton. All governments are socialist undertakings; the question is one of restricting their purview. All goverenment employees are de facto socialists and will vote for the expansion of government.
Don’t worry the NDP and Liberals are splitting their vote.
One other thing: I just voted and there was a guy there with an Elections Canada badge reading “Information Security Officer”. Apparently a new position this time he said. He said the position was mainly to do with crowd control when there was a lineup.
I was the only voter in the entire polling station and he looked bored out of his mind.
i got there about 0815 & only half a dozen voters
My hope for the outcome of this election is that there is a minority CPC government elected with a PPC party of 15 seats or better that would nullify any coalition deal made by the Liberals and the NDP. This would put Max in the catbird seat. This would mean that the Milk man would be in a very perilous position. He would have to deal with Max for favourable conditions, reduction of state controlled economy, reduced immigration, investigation into SNC-Lavalin, elimination of state controlled propaganda, and many others or he would have to go to the polls within a year or so and face a serious loss of voters to the PPC. If the PPC show a considerable strength in Western Canada then there is a great deal of leverage that can be exerted against the unequal Equalization concept and the West can threaten like Quebec has been doing since Confederation to separate. This threat would be more serious since the oil reserves in the west are and will be, for the next two or three generations at least much to the chagrin of the climate hucksters, desirable trading commodities on the world market. Factoring in the Monroe doctrine, America under Trump would be more than willing to “Make a Deal”.
I share your hope, but I don’t think the PPC will win a single seat, even though I voted for them.
Hope is what actually eventually makes dreams come true.
Come on Canada, it’s time to take out the Trash!
In a blackface garbage bag…
To my friends in most of Alberta and Saskatchewan: take a look at your riding in the last election. Did the CPC take 50% of the vote? Was the 2nd place party even close? OK, the CPC neither needs nor deserves over 50% of the vote so now is your chance to vote PPC and make the CBC puke.
Remember, the Reform Party started with a popular vote of 2.09% and no seats.
Yeah, I voted PPC in my riding out here in Calgary for that reason. If I was in a close riding I would have held my nose and voted Tory but I have the luxury of, at least in some small way, voicing my displeasure with ToryHQ.
speaking of polls closing, is it still true that east coast vote counts are to be aired BEFORE the west coast polling stations close?
why is that?
can elections Canaduh not clamp down on this? count the votes of course but DO NOT announce any results (even voter turnout) until ALL polls state they have closed. all of them.
oh, wait, I just answered my own Q: ‘elections Canaduh’.
– Only if the Liberals are in the lead.
I just voted. PPC. Even though I really like my local CPC candidate.
Couldn’t hold my nose and vote for Scheer.
Scheer is the poster child of proving Kate’s adage about ‘pleasing your enemies does not make them your friends.’
Bravo. With a minority government, he’d better be better at arithmetic than Joe Who. But, I have littl;e faith he is, he’s a poli-sci boy. Never done a real job in his life – he got out of that as soon as possible.
Interesting opinions there, but the “Buffalo Chronicle” is a vanity project, and many of its articles are unsourced.
The Post Millennial, on its web page, has a good article on how the Buffalo Chronicle invents stories out of thin air.
Absolutely.
But here we have a 2 billion dollar propaganda agency(The CBC), with unsourced opionion pieces disguised as ‘news’, doing the same thing.
Harper could have ditched the whole thing after his majority win, but, like Brian Mulroney didn’t. And that is why the Cuckservative Party of Cluelessness doesn’t deserve ‘conservative’ support.
While speculation runs wild until reality intrudes this evening, here’s
Danielle Smith, the Manning-trained almost Premier of Alberta with some wonderfully wacky ideas for consideration.
I particularly love the Tuktoyaktuk to Churchill energy corridor.
Thanks Dizzy, that was a good article. Aren’t you worried that someone might tell George Soros or his proxy funding fronts about you helping the opposition.
Got back from voting a Nutana School this morning in Saskatoon. There was a group of hippies outside telling people going in to vote Claire Card to look out for workers rights. I wonder if whatever union they belonged to gave them the day off to harass voters?
Were they standing on the grounds of the electoral building? That is not allowed.
The Post Millennial, on its web page, has a good article on how the Buffalo Chronicle invents stories out of thin air.
If they do invent their stories, they do an excellent job of including enough details to make them sound convincing.
Well the media say they investigated the Trudeau/ underage/ student/teacher thing and the story is false. Of course they investigated snc lavlin and gropergate and blackface and Aga Khan foundation and declared Trudy guiltless, so I’ll go with that.
I voted at ten this AM. The polling station was busy, not packed but busy. My riding is a safe Conserative riding. The ballot didn’t have a “none of the above” choice, so rather than spoil my ballot, I voted for the PPC. It won’t affect anything and it’s as near a protest vote as I can manage.
Sorry for the double-post. The capta thingy was acting up.
I still hold out hope that Turdeau screwed the pooch so badly that my brothers and sisters to the north
will turn this into a Trumpian voter rebellion.
Are you a Canadian? Can you please start adoption papers for Alberta?
Just watching CP24 – Toronto News on Satelite. Middle aged woman being interviewed outside Danforth polling station, said she voted for ‘climate’. We are soooo scr8wed!
These are the same people who supported ‘banning H20’ because they were told that ‘climate experts’ were saying that it increased carbon emissions.(Watch a Mark Dice video).
Winston Churchill: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
In Canada 30 seconds would suffice.
It is the worst greenhouse gas by far; it is very preevalent in the atmosphere and absorbs the whole spectral range ; unlike CO2 or methane.
These are the same idiots who say they are voting for more gun control after the terrorist shooting up Danforth Village. If the woman didn’t -say- she voted for climate she’d be excommunicated from her social group.
But it would not shock me if she lied and voted CPC/PPC. Because Torontonians have two faces. One in public, and then the real one which they keep in a jar on their bedside table.
For those enquiring, the polls are all open at the same time across the country, and close at the same time. Everyone across Canada starts counting the ballots at the same instant.
This isn’t even remotely accurate….. the first polls out east close at 4:00 PST.
So Nanos has 13% undecided. Any predictions on turn out? I bet it will be low. That’s 13% who are saying “I ain’t telling ya” and the others 87%, except the DIppers and Greens, might well be lying.
Well a guaranteed six votes for the PPC maybe more time will tell.
Hopefully tonight bye bye to the most red Tory of them all…
Michael Chong
My main issue with current #CPC base thinking is that they seem to be rejecting liberal democracy and human rights. I’m a red Tory, I tend toward reactive policies.
But I agree with over 98% of what Libs, NDP and Greens believe in. I just don’t get this brand of conservatism.
If you really wanted to mystify your ancestors, you could go back in a time machine and tell them that in the future, people would be voting for colder weather (and a few other things, will leave to your imagination).
Re Buffalo Chronicle. I know this is being called a fake news site, but I am not convinced. Surely they can be sued for slander just like anyone else. Now undoubtedly it is difficult to verify what they publish, but those are real people (the writers) and often the stories have enough detail to be credible. They cover more than just Canadian news and some of what they cover is verifiable. Seems like the PMO has been keen to shut them down, but they have not been totally successful. https://buffalochronicle.com/2019/10/20/trudeau-has-been-hounding-mark-zuckerberg-to-censor-an-american-newspaper/
I don’t believe their stories are totally fabricated. Their narratives are too close to reasonable speculation. Anyone in Ottawa knows there are always rumours flying and I suspect they have an Ottawa informant. I believe that unlike most bought and paid for Canadian journalists they are more willing to go out on a limb. I take their stories with a grain of salt and watch for further evidence.
The polling station in my area was changed from last time so I, and apparently many others, had to be redirected to the new station. It’s a predominantly Conservative riding. So I don’t know if that was simply a logistical issue or part of something more nefarious. Any other similar incidents/patterns? I don’t want to make something out of nothing.
Blackie will continue as PM because millions of Canadians are immoral.
Jughead will become more prominent and powerful and Butts & Co. won’t like that.
Scheer will piss and moan.
May is going to be replaced.
The RCMP won’t do jack about SNC.
Canada’s deficit spending, immigration, regulation and taxation will increase.
K-bec will get more power and money and autonomy.
Another winter is coming.
American citizen May is upset that her party isn’t doing well. So yesterday she was whining how other parties are mean to her, and she wants the voting age dropped down to 16 and proportional representation, so she is given seats in parliament.
Voting age of 16 — why not 12? No wonder serious people do not vote Green
I live in the middle of Green madness, greater Victoria.
Otherwise normal sane intelligent people, go delusional over the green mantra here. It’s a head shaker.
The center of it, the city (I don’t pay taxes there) is the apex of lunacy. Many renters and apartment dwellers, post modern hippies, granola eaters, SJW types, bike lane fanatics, straw banners, you name it. That’s Victoria, the worst group of virtue signallers you can imagine.
Why do I live here? Closing out my career along with my sig other, but we leave after that. Maybe for Canmore or some other Alberta destination that will be independent of Liberal/NDP madness
“Bike lane fanatics”
Isn’t that the truth. Just last week I leaned on my horn at a pair of spandex clad Nancy boys on bicycles, who instinctively spun round and flipped me off – tough girls the boys were. Why did I blast them? Because while I was about to turn right after stopping for a red light (legal here in CA) these two clowns blew past me on the right … from our “Shared Bike/Auto Lane” … and straight across the interesection on a stale RED light.
Next time, I will simply punch the accelerator instead of the horn.
She is not just an American citizen, she IS an AMERICAN! (Who just happens to live in Canada). BORN in the USA of US BORN Parents. She could be president of the USA! (Well, after Obama, I guess anyone qualifies)..
That or a Scheer minority which will trigger a non-confidence vote from a Lib/NDP coalition to trigger new elections in 2020
Full circle of insanity.
#PPC supporters keep your lawn signs; 2020 will be key for us. Don’t rest.
God bless Canada and the PPC!
VOTE PPC !! For the survival of your great country. Reject lukewarm conservatism … or you’ll get a PM in the mold of Mittens Romney
A refreshing read on this dismal election night:
https://twitter.com/SalimMansurLNC
He was banned from a muslim community debate, but LibCons were welcomed.
Imho, the Trudeau will refuse to resign unless CPC gets majority of seats, an unlikely event.
Remember, these statist power lusters wanted to defeat Harper, 10 seats shy of majority with an unheard of minority coalition, where Lib/NDP seats combined were still far less than the Conservatives, so needed traitor Bloc support.
So we all know what this bunch is capable of in their pursuit of raw power over us.
If somehow Scheer wins 140+ plus seats and the Liberals do what is honourable, expected and on precedent, and resign, later to plot his removal in their favour, PM Scheer should hold off as long as possible bringing parliament back, to force an election should he lose confidence on the Throne Speech.
Joe Clark held off a new Parliamentary session after his 1979 victory over Trudeau. The eastern media cartel didn’t like it then, insinuating Clark was afraid to face Parliamentary opposition and was governing by secret decree. It wouldn’t be a good look for Scheer either.
Mackenzie King was accused by his political opponents of clinging on to power with the tenacity of a “lobster with lockjaw”. Why? Because King, the incumbent PM, came out of a general election losing his own seat, losing the popular vote nationally, leading only the second party in the HoC, (the Conservatives were only a few seats short of an outright majority), and, furthermore, he did not have an agreement of support, formal or otherwise, with the Progressive third party. Nevertheless, King still claimed to possess the moral right to govern. The GG provisionally acceeded to King. After it became clear that King did not have the support of Parliament, he then demanded that Parliament be dissolved. (Because King lacked a majority in committees, he was unable to suppress investigations into the widespread financial corruption of his Ministry. King needed to change the channel fast.) When, however, the GG refused his request, King made a huge issue of it, asserting that a “foreign power” was interfering in the right of Canadians to govern themselves. Since the Conservatives were as useless then as now, King won a subsequent election. The King interpretation of his electoral victory was the Canadian electorate essentially ratified his political claims. While it is true that, since the days of the “King-Byng” affair all minority governments have been the plurality party, it is not true that if a PM chose to act as King did, this could be considered precedential.
I think the moral of the King-Byng story is that Canada has rarely ever had an effective political opposition to the Natural Governing Party, and this is mostly due to an apathetic and/or easily manipulated and misinformed public. This will probably never change.
Oh I remember well and, then, not even the corruptocrats of the Librano party would take the Bloc into government but if the Dippers and Liars combined have more seats this time, well, that’s how it works. They can form a government or … try to. The fact that Dips and Libs hate each other won’t stop them but will eventually break the deal.
Someone called into 770 am in Calgary said there was an instagram post about a polling station in Toronto(?) where an election worker opened a guys ballot, made their own mark on kit, spoiling it. Tried to record it but they called police…
Scheep will keep his job.
Prinz Dummkopf will continue kicking Alberta, and Lotusland, southern Ontario, Quebec, and Fishland will cheer.
Our “justice” system will become more like that of the UK.
We will continue bailing out Prinz Dummkopf’s favourite companies.
China will own more of Canada.
Whites, heterosexuals, and Christians will have even fewer rights.
Tough to get excited about any of this. As I see it, the country has about a 1 in 3 chance of ridding itself of brain cancer and replacing it with a nasty case of lupus, but only temporarily…
Inside the cities, I suspect the Liberals are already tallying ballots…….actual voters are not really needed.
Crooked Media, crooked courts, crooked votes.
Your local Liberal knows what’s best for you.
Always and all ways.
I’ve been following the media’s spiel since Trudeau called the election. My how the Liberals “path to victory” media story has changed from start to finish.
The beginning: Yes, Trudeau will lose votes in most of the west but gains in Quebec, Vancouver and Victoria areas will be enough because he still has a lock on Toronto and Atlantic Canada. Women and young people are his strengths. Media and pollsters verdict : Trudeau can’t lose.
Now: Trudeau will still lose ridings in most of the west. Looks like he may lose ridings in Vancouver and Victoria to NDP and Greens. The Bloc will take quite a few of his hoped for Quebec ridings. Rich people in Toronto are moving NDP. Toronto suburbs are too close to call. Support from women and the young has fallen considerably. But Trudeau has a lock on Atlantic Canada. The media and pollsters verdict : still saying Trudeau can’t lose.
The predictions don’t fit the changes in Trudeau’s electoral circumstances – progressive rivals gaining, the potential of vote splits favoring the CPC, LPC voter disillusionment. The Liberal party has had wide swings of support since Adscam, swings of 50, 60 or more ridings and that could easily happen again given Trudeau’s scandals. His voter base isn’t very loyal or consistent
Conservative support is rock solid in the low 30% range support with voters who consistently go and vote.
As a PrairieWest separatist, the ultimate winning conditions are a progressive coalition that steals power from the CPC plurality and then continues their callous, relentless nation-destroying attacks on Alberta and Saskatchewan. We could then be free and independent in a few short years.
Picking up on your point that conservative support is rock solid in the low 30’s. It seems to me that, at least in the last several federal and provincial elections, the conservatives tend to outperform the polls by 2-4%. Should be interesting.
Agree – CBC has the Conservatives at 32 % thus i predict 35%.
I predict that Justin will not lose his seat but the losses and the scandals will cause him to lose the leadership of the party. If I were Justin, I would take a year-long “personal day” because his party and the Chinese will want some words with him.
Scheer will squeak by with a slim majority.
Until Canadians reform themselves and demand political reform, all elections will be about choosing the cream of the crap.
The Khalistani and the separatist will both make absurd demands in return for their support. The Khalistani will demand Ottawa mothball Trans Mountain. The separatist will demand all the carbon tax money go to Quebec.
Not even Justin will be daft enough to agree to any of that. His name is already mud in Beijing for delays to Trans Mountain.
We’ll be voting again in a few months, and every few months after that until either:
1. Canada has another government willing to send oil to China and not let any Canadians benefit from their own oil wealth.
2. President Trump sends the US army north to give decent people trapped in globalist-controlled Canada a new nation, conceived in liberty.
That last comment is adorable.
If Trump would not stand up for the Kurds (you know – useful people), why would he waste American lives on Canada?
Separation for Alberta…we’re competition to US interests on more than one level. Won’t happen. Your best chance was 30 years ago. Demographics have changed, a lot of things changed. You won’t be allowed to separate this time, bank on it. High River should have been a heads up.
“High River should have been a heads up.”
Says everything…Perfect!
Get rid of rcmp/lucki..
OK,thank you for that reply to AC, who should learn to not sprinkle hallucinogenics on his breakfast cereal.
Trudeau will win his seat, and if he does fail to get a majority,will be well helped to form a coalition by the rest of the Anybody But Conservative bunch.
Antone know of a website outside closetted Little Canader where we can see election results back East before our own polls groan to a halt at 7:30, 9:30 in Quebec?
I’m very cynical about tonight’s result, but hope I’m wrong. The election is even less exciting than CFL football this year. Go Team go!
You have every right to be cynical, Don Morris.
Cheers.
The nutter is plagued with demons.
1. Alberta has far more verified oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, just for example, reserves that no American president would want in Chinese hands.
2. American lives? Up here Americans really would be greeted as liberators, at least in English Canada.
Forget Englishmen with intact genitals serving in what passes for the Canadian army—how many French or Indian girls in uniform do you really think will care to be the last to die for overpriced, awful-tasting cheese with French text on the packaging?
If ordered to fight the Americans, you know just as well as Justin what any Canadian soldiers with the sense God gave them would do. They’d mutiny, desert or surrender en masse.
If the Americans decided to invade Canada they wouldn’t lose a single man. They’d just send the New York National Guard to Ottawa, hoist Old Glory, and that would be it.
Who is there to stop them? The OPP detachment in Cornwall? Ten guys and a truck in Tweed?
Possibly the worst analogy in the history of political commentary.
Well at the very least, I hope, we’ll be rid of Andrew Who.
Little Potato has spent the last four years giving him lots, ‘n Lots, ‘n LOTS of ammunition to put Mr. Trudeau on the train home – and he’s used none of it. Losing an election to Sockpuppet is the ultimate example of pathetic failure – and even if by some miracle the voters hand him a victory, he’s shown himself to be just another do-nothing politician – and the last thing Canada needs is another do-nothing politician in Parliament, especially him.
Goodbye, Mr. Scheer.
Well……it’s been confirmed following a get together yesterday.
My entire family….Parents, Brothers, Wives, Kids…..we all live in incredibly safe Conservative ridings. Our votes will not affect the physical outcome of the election. THEREFORE, we have all committed to Vote for Bernie.
Our hope is that Bernie’s party achieves at least 3-4% of the vote, that might act as a counterweight to the leftist pull of the Red Tories that will be elected.
The issue we agreed upon most? We want to live in a country where we can make strong, logical, reasonable arguments for decreased levels of immigration without being labeled as racist.
Lots of pessimism here. Let’s look at the bright side. Maybe Ralph Goodale will lose his seat. He is 3rd on my list of people I want to see lose. Others are Trudeau himself (I know that’s fantasy), McKenna (could lose, but she has lots if signs up). Karen MCkrimmon. She is in my riding, so I would like her gone. I believe things are pretty close here.
No Time McKenna has a lot of money behind her as she’s the F-face of the Corrupt Liberal Party’s Climate Tax Scam. Only the ENDP candidate can knock her off her proselytizing pedestal.
Fun fact
If the liberals can’t hold on to a majority they will no longer have majority control of the committees.
The polls have lately been consistent in predicting a minority by liberals or conservatives, if the liberals can’t win a majority they lose and they know it.
Their only way out after that is to delay recall of Parliament and engineer their defeat to keep the committees from convening.
I’ve got a feeling this election is about to go horribly wrong. By around 7pm pacific time we’ll see some somber faces around the multi million dollar, highly touted CBC set. Barton will probably be crying by about 9.
I want to believe.
What do they care? None of them is going to get a text message to the effect that his services are no longer required and that his personal effects will be mailed to him. Only people who work for a living need fear that.
Wait for the news of American paratroopers in Ottawa. Then they’ll have something to cry about.
I want to believe too, I’m usually wrong with predictions but I’m hoping hatred of conservatives combined with hatred of that ashole Trudeau creates a dog’s breakfast of Liberal NDP Green votes that allows Scheer to run up the middle and bag ridings.
I’ll buy that scenario and I really think thee’s a strong possibility it will happen.
I hope you are right. I would love to see the paid-and-bought-for Rosemary Barton crying on set.
Well I’m watching the Rebel and when it’s almost time for tears I definitely will switch over to the CBC
DM – When Harper won his majority in 2011 I was hunting in Montana. No Canadian news was available so we found a weak cbc radio signal out of SK. The insufferable Michael Enright was the host along with the requisite fwenchman. They were apoplectic, distraught and otherwise out of sorts at the prospect of Harper. What could be worse?
Naturally we enjoyed their angst/ennui celebrating as a coupla conservatives might travelling through the night in a pickup enjoying the moment.
Abtr, I remember Harper’s first victory as well. I tuned in to the Ceeb, and the Toronto Star’s Julie van Dusen — a cherished left-wing voice on CBC News — was steaming mad. One vould almost see smoke drifting out of her ears.
Sucks to be you, Canada. Soarry, eh?
Doug, what it really sucks to be is a freedom loving small government conservative who lives in a country populated by 60% brain dead socialists. Canada is just a geographical piece of dirt, the people make it what it now is.
I’m with you James, I remember the Hag at 92 % in the polls, you know the polls, the polls, like ones run by Daryl ,the guy dining with Buttsy all the time, the polls and pollsters that our bought and paid for so called media run to constantly to drive the narrative that a moron should be the PM. Well hopefully the “Post Nation State” once known as Canada can rid itself of this moron today, had the Hag won in the US they would be well on their way to Venezuelan status, instead the businessman won and their yearly household income is up 6000 dollars from the Jugears days. The graft and corruption stateside is beginning to be exposed and it is deep, just think how deep it is in the morons administration. Before the moron takes Canada to eating their dogs as opposed to walking them, let’s retire this loser. Like I heard on Roy Green “at least Peeair liked Canadians working hard so he could steal their money, his so called spawn, doesn’t even want Canadians working as they get fleeced”.
I have some faith in Canadians no one with a tiny bit of sense can disregard what Trudeau has done to this country.Scheer wins with a small majority.
My prediction: CBC will call the election before Western Canadians have a chance to get to the polls.
CBC’s Canada ends at the Manitoba/Ontario border. They are creating a self-fulfilling prophesy as Canada West gains support.
The Dems are expert at stuffing ballet boxes so why wouldn’t the Liebels? They have done it in the past. The media in Canada have been paid off by the Liebels to the tune of $600 million and that ignores the CBC that gets $1.5 Billion. Who is kidding who? This election has been decided months ago.
This election will finally galvanize the West into at a minimum a public discussion of our future. As what we know as Canada inevitably crumbles the ground work should be in place to separate. The support for separation is certainly not restricted to AB & SASK. Manitoba and much of BC will opt in without fail. As a BC’er I am there already.
Thinking the same.
Silver lining is this.
The sock monkey wins majority the country won’t last two years, will be broke, broken up, or both.
Sock monkey minority, death by a thousand cuts, loss of control of those committees that start asking inconvenient questions and no power to shut them down plus the above scenario.
Scheer minority slows down the eventual destruction of the country and we spend the next 2 years listening to official Ottawa and their useful idiots whispering in Andy’s ear telling him what he should do so he doesn’t upset liberal voters. Caveat is that the committees are no longer liberal controlled.
Conservative majority the useful idiots spend the next four years claiming election interference and the result was illegal.
Dream outcome, conservative minority propped up by a PPC caucus and the liberals reduced to 11 seats (below the threshold for official party status and no liberal caucus in senate to allow them to retain official status).
I’m a American in Montana who wishes that Trudeau bites the dust.
Best wishes you guys.
Thanks
Back in the 80’s I was traveling through Montana and got pulled over for speeding all I paid was 5 dollars cash and went on my merry way..
You sure that Montana had a speed limit in the 80’s … I remember no speed limits, but that was before the progressives that needed funding for turtle Xings
I believe they had a night time speed limite, but no daylight speed limit. That came to end in around 2000 when the State of Montana instituted around the clock speed limit of 85 mph – to the extent I recall.
In order to qualify for federal funding, they had to enforce the national speed limit in some fashion, which they did…with a $5 penalty for “wasting fuel” that was enforced sporadically.
Visiting the Moose down town Kalispell about twice a year from Alberta.
I stayed at the OutLaw Inn it was a Saturday night the next morning we were heading for California I got to the bar early and the special that night was Long Island Ice Tea three shots of rum in each glass.
Got into some trouble that night and stumbled into my hotel room and I can see my work truck driving up to pick me up so I staggered and collected all of my gear and climb into the truck that was like a motor home with a bench seat in the back and when I woke up we were already in California…
Merci.
Thanks for that. My Montana neighbor, now moved was married to a true blue, born and bred Albertan. A mover and shaker of Wild Rose. A real fighter. Danielle Smith sand bagged him when she crossed to the Redmonton PC’s.
She’s forever dirt to me.

The boxes are sealed and scrutineers from all parties inspect the seal before counting begins. The seals are numbered and recorded and that is also scrutineered.
Done the polls a few times, scrutineers were few and none.
I got some black scowls at the polling station, I told a friend of mine that as soon as I was finished voting, I was going home, and changing into a Hijab and coming back to vote again with wife’s card (Wife doesn’t vote)
We’re basically screwed, my best case scenario is that the Conservatives win with a minority government, although honestly I’d be fine if the Liberals got a minority government because at least that would teach the “Conservatives” a lesson, hopefully the PPC can get a few seats as well and kick out the greens
Scheer majority.
The polls are fake and talk of a liberal/NDP coalition is only a unifor wet-dream.
Advance polls are the highest in Canadian history because conservative voters would walk on broken glass to replace this duplicitous government. Trudeau is finished.
I’ll be shocked is Scheer gets a majority. I’d be wary of reading too much into the turnout for the advanced voting – a lot of this is just people voting early, not necessarily inspired by anything but out of convenience.
Everyone in the Universe (except for Cole Slaw) recognizes that high voter turnout at the advance polls is bad news for the incumbent. Final counts have always confirmed this. It was a Thanksgiving weekend which is not a convenient time for most Canadians.
Have to agree. Same thing happened with Kenny/Notley. There may be hope, but I’m not holding my breath.
Larry D., I hope you would be right, buy my head thinks you are wrong. Love your avitar name though. I saw Dirty Harry 3 too, and Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) posing as “Larry Dickman” in a brothel was hilarious.
The media is sure, as they were with Trump, that Scheer and the CPC have no path to victory; so that’s encouraging.
They are people who really want to vote and it is usually because they want change rather than for any other reason.
Winter in Florida or Arizona calling.
Did a national poll for well known pollsters this morning.
A number of the questions insist that you answer the way they want you to. Had to quit before done.
Liberals this and Liberals that,
I always give the GreeNDP’est answers I can to any of those polls. So when reality is revealed, they all look idiots.

When voting remember this.
IN 2015 THERE WERE 70 SEATS THAT WERE WON BY LESS THAN 5%
Link here
https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/2019-federal-election
Somebody posted this the other day from a senate report that 103,000 people (minimum) have voter cards who aren’t Canadian.
And when voting remember this:
Andy doesn’t want you deplorable Islamphobes & racissts polluting his big new tent.
You can go vote for the raciss party. Or just stay home.
You’re an idealist and I’m pragmatic.
Both of hearts are with Max and the PPC
This election is about voting the Trudeau Libranos out.
Voting for lessor of evils still takes you down the the same road to the same destination just at a slower pace prolonging the agony.
Pragmatic?
We learned few days ago the CPC paid a hired mudslinger to take out the PPC.
And pragmatic is for PPC voters to vote CPC?
Pragmatic is to vote PCC and reduce the CPC to two votes and send the CPC to the wilderness again.
Every election, it’s about voting out the other guy, never voting FOR something. The establishment has this figured out. Vote Harlem Globetrotters or you get the Washington Generals. Same game; same policies. Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dumb.
Well I’ve had enough of it. I am not afraid that the Liberals will screw things up and be corrupt; we know they will. I also know that the Conservatives will do nothing; they never did under Stephen Harper who I had great hopes of but he allowed the party apparatus to stifle his better instincts. So we got bijou tax cuts targeted at small segments of the population; no real change. Oh, and deficits.

Complacency is our greatest enemy – Pay no attention to the media or the polls. Nothing would make them happier than to have conservatives shrugging their shoulders and staying home.
Vote as if your life depends on it.
Will this be Prinz Dummkopf’s victory performance?

(“If you think this country’s bad off now, just wait ’til I get through with it.”)
On the other hand, he might start his victory speech by paraphrasing Ronald Reagan:
“I’m pleathed to annouthe we have jutht outlawed Albewta fowevew….”
You forgot the hoarse huffing and puffing of emoting.
The commercials the Libs ran over the weekend were horrid in their faux hysteria with Groper huffing and puffing
He was out there today with his kids at the polling station . Are you allowed to bring kids into the polling station? Can every one do this? Seems a but contrived to me.
Yes you can.
Kudos to Elections Canada — they blanketed the hospitals giving patients the opportunity to vote in the advance polls … they only needed to look at your hospital bracelet to confirm who you were (knowing the hospitals had your complete ID for admission). I’m out but weak … so don’t need to stand in long lines today to vote. Absolutely brilliant.
Scott, hang in there, and am praying you get better.

And I’m supposed to believe my vote is so valued I should go start up my overtaxed car, burn overtaxed fuel, and waste my time to put a mark on a ballot? Please God let me wake up from this nightmare.
Similar in my riding. The PPC candidate was the only one knocking on doors, and he were told so by many.
There’s not even any lawn signs this year. Hamilton Ontario, usually a sign forest, now a sign desert.
People don’t want to be targets, I guess.
Our riding is Edmonton Strathcona. Worth watching. Until last week the Conservative had a lead here of a few percent. Then the Greenie dropped out and instructed his supporters to vote NDP. Now the polls have NDP by a hair. IF they are correct, the couple % points the PPC candidate gets will cost the Conservatives this seat.
As mentioned above, polls here tend to underestimate conservative support by a few points for a variety of reasons. Hope that’s the case this time.
Well it IS Redmonton. All governments are socialist undertakings; the question is one of restricting their purview. All goverenment employees are de facto socialists and will vote for the expansion of government.
Don’t worry the NDP and Liberals are splitting their vote.
One other thing: I just voted and there was a guy there with an Elections Canada badge reading “Information Security Officer”. Apparently a new position this time he said. He said the position was mainly to do with crowd control when there was a lineup.
I was the only voter in the entire polling station and he looked bored out of his mind.
i got there about 0815 & only half a dozen voters
My hope for the outcome of this election is that there is a minority CPC government elected with a PPC party of 15 seats or better that would nullify any coalition deal made by the Liberals and the NDP. This would put Max in the catbird seat. This would mean that the Milk man would be in a very perilous position. He would have to deal with Max for favourable conditions, reduction of state controlled economy, reduced immigration, investigation into SNC-Lavalin, elimination of state controlled propaganda, and many others or he would have to go to the polls within a year or so and face a serious loss of voters to the PPC. If the PPC show a considerable strength in Western Canada then there is a great deal of leverage that can be exerted against the unequal Equalization concept and the West can threaten like Quebec has been doing since Confederation to separate. This threat would be more serious since the oil reserves in the west are and will be, for the next two or three generations at least much to the chagrin of the climate hucksters, desirable trading commodities on the world market. Factoring in the Monroe doctrine, America under Trump would be more than willing to “Make a Deal”.
I share your hope, but I don’t think the PPC will win a single seat, even though I voted for them.
Hope is what actually eventually makes dreams come true.
Come on Canada, it’s time to take out the Trash!
In a blackface garbage bag…
To my friends in most of Alberta and Saskatchewan: take a look at your riding in the last election. Did the CPC take 50% of the vote? Was the 2nd place party even close? OK, the CPC neither needs nor deserves over 50% of the vote so now is your chance to vote PPC and make the CBC puke.
Remember, the Reform Party started with a popular vote of 2.09% and no seats.
Yeah, I voted PPC in my riding out here in Calgary for that reason. If I was in a close riding I would have held my nose and voted Tory but I have the luxury of, at least in some small way, voicing my displeasure with ToryHQ.
speaking of polls closing, is it still true that east coast vote counts are to be aired BEFORE the west coast polling stations close?
why is that?
can elections Canaduh not clamp down on this? count the votes of course but DO NOT announce any results (even voter turnout) until ALL polls state they have closed. all of them.
oh, wait, I just answered my own Q: ‘elections Canaduh’.
– Only if the Liberals are in the lead.
I just voted. PPC. Even though I really like my local CPC candidate.
Couldn’t hold my nose and vote for Scheer.
Scheer is the poster child of proving Kate’s adage about ‘pleasing your enemies does not make them your friends.’
Bravo. With a minority government, he’d better be better at arithmetic than Joe Who. But, I have littl;e faith he is, he’s a poli-sci boy. Never done a real job in his life – he got out of that as soon as possible.
Interesting opinions there, but the “Buffalo Chronicle” is a vanity project, and many of its articles are unsourced.
The Post Millennial, on its web page, has a good article on how the Buffalo Chronicle invents stories out of thin air.
Absolutely.
But here we have a 2 billion dollar propaganda agency(The CBC), with unsourced opionion pieces disguised as ‘news’, doing the same thing.
Harper could have ditched the whole thing after his majority win, but, like Brian Mulroney didn’t. And that is why the Cuckservative Party of Cluelessness doesn’t deserve ‘conservative’ support.
While speculation runs wild until reality intrudes this evening, here’s
Danielle Smith, the Manning-trained almost Premier of Alberta with some wonderfully wacky ideas for consideration.
I particularly love the Tuktoyaktuk to Churchill energy corridor.

Thanks Dizzy, that was a good article. Aren’t you worried that someone might tell George Soros or his proxy funding fronts about you helping the opposition.
Got back from voting a Nutana School this morning in Saskatoon. There was a group of hippies outside telling people going in to vote Claire Card to look out for workers rights. I wonder if whatever union they belonged to gave them the day off to harass voters?
Were they standing on the grounds of the electoral building? That is not allowed.
The Post Millennial, on its web page, has a good article on how the Buffalo Chronicle invents stories out of thin air.
If they do invent their stories, they do an excellent job of including enough details to make them sound convincing.
Well the media say they investigated the Trudeau/ underage/ student/teacher thing and the story is false. Of course they investigated snc lavlin and gropergate and blackface and Aga Khan foundation and declared Trudy guiltless, so I’ll go with that.
I voted at ten this AM. The polling station was busy, not packed but busy. My riding is a safe Conserative riding. The ballot didn’t have a “none of the above” choice, so rather than spoil my ballot, I voted for the PPC. It won’t affect anything and it’s as near a protest vote as I can manage.

Yes dizzy, we know Trudy is innocent because every substitute drama teacher has the sixth largest law firm in Canada(at the time) draw up your statement when you quit a mediocre teaching position.

Sorry for the double-post. The capta thingy was acting up.
I still hold out hope that Turdeau screwed the pooch so badly that my brothers and sisters to the north
will turn this into a Trumpian voter rebellion.
Are you a Canadian? Can you please start adoption papers for Alberta?
Just watching CP24 – Toronto News on Satelite. Middle aged woman being interviewed outside Danforth polling station, said she voted for ‘climate’. We are soooo scr8wed!
These are the same people who supported ‘banning H20’ because they were told that ‘climate experts’ were saying that it increased carbon emissions.(Watch a Mark Dice video).
Winston Churchill: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
In Canada 30 seconds would suffice.
It is the worst greenhouse gas by far; it is very preevalent in the atmosphere and absorbs the whole spectral range ; unlike CO2 or methane.
These are the same idiots who say they are voting for more gun control after the terrorist shooting up Danforth Village. If the woman didn’t -say- she voted for climate she’d be excommunicated from her social group.
But it would not shock me if she lied and voted CPC/PPC. Because Torontonians have two faces. One in public, and then the real one which they keep in a jar on their bedside table.
For those enquiring, the polls are all open at the same time across the country, and close at the same time. Everyone across Canada starts counting the ballots at the same instant.
This isn’t even remotely accurate….. the first polls out east close at 4:00 PST.
So Nanos has 13% undecided. Any predictions on turn out? I bet it will be low. That’s 13% who are saying “I ain’t telling ya” and the others 87%, except the DIppers and Greens, might well be lying.
Well a guaranteed six votes for the PPC maybe more time will tell.
Hopefully tonight bye bye to the most red Tory of them all…
Michael Chong
My main issue with current #CPC base thinking is that they seem to be rejecting liberal democracy and human rights. I’m a red Tory, I tend toward reactive policies.
But I agree with over 98% of what Libs, NDP and Greens believe in. I just don’t get this brand of conservatism.

If you really wanted to mystify your ancestors, you could go back in a time machine and tell them that in the future, people would be voting for colder weather (and a few other things, will leave to your imagination).
Re Buffalo Chronicle. I know this is being called a fake news site, but I am not convinced. Surely they can be sued for slander just like anyone else. Now undoubtedly it is difficult to verify what they publish, but those are real people (the writers) and often the stories have enough detail to be credible. They cover more than just Canadian news and some of what they cover is verifiable. Seems like the PMO has been keen to shut them down, but they have not been totally successful.

I don’t believe their stories are totally fabricated. Their narratives are too close to reasonable speculation. Anyone in Ottawa knows there are always rumours flying and I suspect they have an Ottawa informant. I believe that unlike most bought and paid for Canadian journalists they are more willing to go out on a limb. I take their stories with a grain of salt and watch for further evidence.
The polling station in my area was changed from last time so I, and apparently many others, had to be redirected to the new station. It’s a predominantly Conservative riding. So I don’t know if that was simply a logistical issue or part of something more nefarious. Any other similar incidents/patterns? I don’t want to make something out of nothing.
