Last I checked an hour ago, they were winning handily so I'd given up, but I just checked again and my Conservative incumbent is OUTTA HERE!

:woohoo:

5. Indeed.

I'm not sure if this is the party's best showing, but you can't complain about 150+ % increase.

4. Congratulations!

Great to see the NDP do so well!

Meanwhile, we got stuck with our incumbent Conservative. x( Still, he's the most lifelike of all Conservatives I've seen. Not a bad guy.

6. Dammit!

The CBC put the all-important "X" in the Elected column beside Bell's name, but now they've taken it away!

Bell, the NDP candidate is now leading by a mere 300 votes, 231 of 269 polls reporting.

This is even closer than the last election!

Thanks for nothin' CBC! :mad:

7. looks like Libs + NDP will trump cons.

Nice. It means more Liberal concessions to strong NDP policy.

8. The NDP took my riding from the faux Cons as well!

It was expected, I have to admit, because the faux Con candidate here was charged with smuggling, tax evasion, etc, lol, but after so many years of having a faux Con rep, it is great however it came about!
