1. I understand Khloe Kardashian has an appointment to get her hair and nails done.

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it turns out.

[Lunabell]

2. Chillaxing

and drinking beer.

[LeftyMom]

3. It's Sunday, we're watching Football.

[Monk06]

4. I am on the verge of writing my country off if the SHINY LIPPED ONE is reelected. Y'all

on the main floor better vote in Bernie or Bernie Lite Hill or we are all supremely fucked and I ain't joking

[Scootaloo]

5. Secretly replacing your regular coffee with Folgers Crystals™

[Monk06]

6. don't be trying to talk me off the ledge. Nine years of Harper have put me over the edge. We

have a parlamentary system here NO FUCKING TERM LIMITS

When the progs are in power it's paradise when the Tories are in it's like perma HELL

Just so you know Google Shamrock Summit

[msongs]

7. well we are not doing this...

[Monk06]

8. Up here we don't read print media even CBC online except this election and we use the

Peter Mansbridge/Rex Murphy bullshit media app when watching the National

We know the media are Tory here and make our judgements accordingly

[joshcryer]

11. With almost a decade of Harper...

...you'd think that no amount of media propaganda would have an effect. But it's looking close.

[Monk06]

13. Maybe not so close Lib 140 Con 120 projected 170 to govern. Six point spread on the polls one day

out and it's a weekend/ Three million have already voted and voter participation is up 35% since the last election.

Good news is that my kids and my niece and her husband are voting seriously for the first time and they are voting Trudeau

Mulcarre; I am suspicious of, I think he is a left authoritarian masquerading as a socialist

[joshcryer]

15. I wish you the best of luck.

I want you to get the 170 so you can kick that POS Harper out.

[Monk06]

17. Historically a twenty seat projected gap and five point spread a week before an election here is an

indication of a major shift towards a massive majority.

I am cautious but hopeful/ I think Justin has the Trudeau magic and his heart is in the right place because he doesn't really want or need the job. He's doing it on principle

[Monk06]

9. I feel for my American brothers. We have had the longest election in our history. Eleven WEEKS !!!

Election 2016 started in 2012 and the primaries aren't until spring 2016 and the media have already set up the race between Hill and Trump and you will be hearing this shit for another year after two years of unending campaigning already.

I read somewhere once that the sign of the end of an empire was when a culture was completely consumed by politics to the exclusion of everyday existance. I think it was my Meso American History professor Marvin Cohodas who said that/

Wisdom indeed

[joshcryer]

10. I'm seeing projections saying liberals won't get majority.

How cozy is the NDP with the CPC?

[Monk06]

14. I think Mulcarre is a cynic who will sink the Libs to serve his aganda and will vote with the Tories

to bring a Lib government down at the first opportunity.

He's a left fascist in my opinion and he isn't fooling anyone

Luckily Quebecers have his number and are abondonin him in large numbers

Harper and Mulcarre are just left right mirror images of each other IMO

[akbacchus_BC]

26. Wow and another Wow! Are you really Canadian?

Mulcarre, do you mean Mr. Mulcair?

Your boy Harper is a fascist, he has shut down the media, cut spending for social services, research, education. Pass a shitty C-51 bill.

Harper is a fricking conservative!

[Monk06]

34. I know I mispelled Mulcair's name because I don't like him. I'm not a Tory I voted for Hedy Fry in

Van Center

[Monk06]

19. To anwser your specific question, if it is a minority split the governor general may be called upon

to decide which party governs and if it is a two way split between the Libs and the Tories witha one or two seat spread we may see another election in six months with a constitionally mandated cooling off period/

Nobody wants that and the Tories would definitely lose that bet given their dirty tricks so far

[joshcryer]

21. That's quite hopeful then.

I am woefully under-educated on parliamentary politics.

[Monk06]

22. GGs chosing the government is a very rare situation in Canada and is considered a plague to be

avoided/

I think Trudeau has it by a slim majority and he will punish Mulcarre for his impudence lol

[delrem]

23. The NDP works best with the Liberals.

NDP doesn't work at all with the Conservatives.

Harper wouldn't have won the last election except the Liberals ran with Michael Ignatieff. That's (I imagine) something a bit like if the Dems decide to run with Hillary. Ignatieff had/has very very iffy connections, even iffier ideas (indistinguishable from the cons on economics and war - allied with them). He didn't connect with Liberals or "the left", and esp. with the more socialist/labor oriented NDP. So they didn't show up to vote. It *matters* to the Liberals whether the typical NDP oriented voter *likes* the Liberal leader and the Liberal platform! The typical NDP voter who's breast-fed on the idea of "strategic voting" for the most likely NDP/Liberal candidate refused en masse to vote for Ignatieff, for his candidates. "Strategic voting" didn't happen.

I don't know if I expressed that very well...

Harper is a corporate tool through and through, exceptionally bad for the environment, and IMO that's like "the canary in the coalmine" indicating how he rules on other issues, any issue related to money, or war, or sucking up to the USofA. Money, investment capital, comes before the planet. IMO over the longer term it's better for Canada that Ignatieff didn't win, didn't have a chance to establish his kind of politics as a new Liberal standard, didn't have a chance to put his kind of people in prominent places, in gov't and in the party. And now we're seeing hope in this election where Ignatieff is GONE. VANISHED. By losing, he cleared the Liberal deck of that kind of third-way type nonsense.

I'm quite hopeful going into tomorrow's election.

[bvf]

12. Thanks for that, sincerely.

The end of an Empire is messy at best
And this Empire is ending
Like all the rest
Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
We're adrift in the land of the brave and the home of the free

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

16. Me? Yard work and laundry. In that order.

[Monk06]

18. Well fair enough you have a whole nuther year of this bullshit

[msanthrope]

20. I'm on call for tomorrow for election access advice.....

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party_voter_intimidation_case
Fyi.....that was my last voter protection district.

[akbacchus_BC]

24. I will be voting on Monday!

[Nye Bevan]

25. I understand that your Head of State will still be the Queen of England

regardless of how everyone votes.

[akbacchus_BC]

27. Our head of state is not the queen of England, she is represented by

a Governor General. There is a small difference but the Queen is still on our currency!

You have to remember that Canada is still a part of the Commonwealth which consists of 54 countries.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

28. Praying you don't re-elect Harper? nt

[akbacchus_BC]

29. We are hoping that Harper will not get re-elected!

The Liberals are now dealing with its party Campaign Manager having to step down three days before the election and a lot of people do not like Mulcair. I am hoping the NDP will get elected.

[Sanity Claws]

30. Make sure it is a NEW prime minister

Your current PM reminds of the GOP

31. Working and watching football!

32. Who is 'we'?
