In the upcoming Federal election where is your vote going?

[Tom]

I might just stick to the official live results http://enr.elections.ca/National.aspx?lang=e in stead of listening to people talk all night about what might happen.

I've literally got nothing better to listen-to/watch while I'm cleaning.

Also sometimes I get a good chuckle out of some of the talking heads.

Well, this site's kinda neat for a map and a bunch of extra info (like what ridings to watch): http://www.cbc.ca/includes/federalelection/dashboard/

Looks like the Liberals have almost as many seats already as they got in the last election.

[Thorin]

uh, 9:2, get with the times old man

They're moving faster than I can post

CBC is projecting a liberal win. though not saying if it'll be a minority or majority.

Got the game on in the background while I try to figure out why the ETL build doesn't work anymore, it keeps getting my attention.  Man, the Blue Jays are just toying with Kansas now...

It's looking like a Liberal win, just as that threehundredeight.com site predicted.  It'll probably end up a small majority.

vs.

Actual: http://www.elections.ca/enr/help/map_e.htm , http://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/results-2015/


"Predicted" was almost bang-on, other than much of Saskatchewan and Manitoba (and southern BC) having a ton of NDP wins (about an even mix of Con and Lib predictions were wrong for those).


...which is actually surprising, since in the end the NDP actually got far less than expected -- I guess the "ABH" voters did not want to take a chance at splitting so they went with the likely winner just to be sure...

"
The Liberals are projected to win between 124 and 161 seats. (184 actual)
The Conservatives are projected to win between 100 and 139 seats. (99 actual)
The NDP is projected to take between 51 and 90 seats. (44 actual)
"
( actual = based on Wikipedia @ 10:30am EST ... which btw really shows how "first past the post" is a joke, since [ Popular vote: Lib=6,928,055 vs. Con=5,597,053 vs. NDP=3,459,826 ] -- see also http://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/results-2015/#votes-to-seats for a visualization of this. )





PS: "Eric" @ http://www.threehundredeight.com/ has not yet added a new post, he just addendum-icized the last one with this:
Some surprising results in the end, but the final polls of the campaign called it. Shows the importance of momentum. I'll have an analysis of the results on CBC.ca some time today, and a deeper post-mortem of the numbers here later in the week.

11:8 final score, it's like the Jays decided to be nice and let them get a few extra points just because it's the Canadian thing to do... 

...and on the lighter side of things, speaking of sporting events taking a surprising turn... http://www.nytimes.com/video/multimedia/100000003986358/how-not-to-help-an-injured-player-.html #ouch #multipletimes

Today's game (as I am just finding out) not so good

Too polite maybe

I am [not really] shocked how many I guessed as DZ were in fact JT. Seriously.
