today I learned this is legal.

1939

The campaign is only 24 hours old and both of the largest parties already have a full slate.

The @ontarioliberal.bsky.social party has announced that @bonniecrombie.bsky.social will resign the leadership upon the selection of a successor. She got 57% support in a review & evidently decided that wasn't enough to continue. Yesterday was a happy day for Crombie. Today, very different #onpoli

again, ban AI.

if you tried to google the election atlas the past couple days, the links got hijacked by a hacker. Site was working fine otherwise. I’ve removed the malicious code, changed passwords, all that good stuff. If you google it now, you still get boner pill BS but the actual links work.

To date, 4 candidates in Canadian federal elections have received 0 votes: Felix-Antoine Hamel in Toronto--St. Paul's (2024) Daniel Stuckless & Ysack Dupont in LaSalle--Émard--Verdun (2024) Ysack Dupont (again) in Carleton (2025) Currently 75 candidates have 0 votes in Battle River—Crowfoot (2025)

Polls close in Battle River-Crowfoot in 10 minutes. Results will be here: enr.elections.ca/ElectoralDis...

A reader submitted this wide shot & close-up shot of a campaign sign in the Battle River–Crowfoot byelection. "I thought it was an Elections Canada sign at first glance," they wrote, given the similar colour scheme. "Upon close inspection, it appears it is not Elections Canada at all."

🥳WE DID IT WE HIT 100!!!! Battle-River Crowfoot is now officially the longest ballot ever in Canadian history!!!! www.elections.ca/Scripts/vis/...

You. Cannot. Appease. Trump.

this is going to end up like Toronto where the anti-progressive vote is hopelessly split til it's too late.

seems that number is just good enough that Danielle Smith will move even further to the right to stop that flank from jumping ship. Just like Poilievre and the PPC.

And the final unofficial results!

Slow start!

how's this going?

Marc Garneau has passed away: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

🗳️☑️ Provincial by-elections have been called in Edmonton-Ellerslie, Edmonton-Strathcona and Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills. Voting day is June 23.

Federal election: Newfoundland riding flips to Conservatives after judicial recount nationalnewswatch.com/2025/05/23/f...

in the past, election results have been thrown out and by-elections held over things like this.

The judicial recount in Terrebonne is over, and the Liberals win it by *one* vote. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/216...

The Three Hills area will likely have 4 elections within the span of 6 months: -Federal election (April 28) -Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills by-election (late spring/early summer) -Battle River-Crowfoot by-election (late spring/early summer) -Municipal elections (October 20) #cdnpoli #abpoli

no no, he’s talking about Tom Wilson, who holds the record for most opposing teams whose brains he has completely broken.

Just in: Don Davies named interim NDP leader

only if you also make it illegal to call Ontario "the east".

John Hogan named N.L.'s next premier after winning leadership race nationalnewswatch.com/2025/05/03/c...

he emulated him, alright....

Dunk Tank and Democracy Sausages from the AU, Having all the clowns stand on stage for the results reveal from the UK ... we can really piece together an ideal election by combining across various countries. Imagine having all 91 people plus a distraught Pierre cobbled on stage in Carleton. Comeon.

I’ve decided all election night specials need a dunk tank.

for the second time in a week, the leader of a right-wing party in a Commonwealth country is in a massive fight to win his seat.

Milton East-Halton Hills flips to Liberals after validation process. Liberal seat count goes back to 169, Conservatives at 143. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

correction - 3rd safest.

Safest CPC seat in the country.

Bloc candidate wins Terrebonne after all, after a counting error in the Liberals favour was found.

Cloverdale-Langley City stays CPC on the final mail ins, So the Liberals no longer have a path to a majority.

Terrebonne has flipped Liberal on the final group of mail in ballots. Liberals now 3 short of a majority.

Helpful list from the CBC on which ridings remain too close to call. Liberals would need to flip 4 of these without losing any other seats in order to get to a majority. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Stornoway: Section 3 of the Official Residences Act allows the person holding the recognized position of Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons to live there. This requires having a seat in the Commons. #cdnpoli #Stornoway

There are are 52 ridings across Canada where the population density is greater than 3,000 people per square kilometre. The Liberals won 48 of them. The NDP won 3, while the Conservatives won 1 — York Centre.

It actually happened?

Poilievre's Conservatives got a greater vote share and like 2m more votes than Harper in 2011 but is going to lose.

"we're not in a country where a major political leader will question what's going on here" - Ian Hanomansing on the late flips. Thank you.

guessing they top out at 168 or 169. Carleton and Kelowna could just as easily flip to the Tories too.

congrats to the only other Washington Wizards fan I know of in Canada.

I'll believe Poilievre loses his seat when the networks call it. Pretty sure it was another one of those ridings where the advance vote (at least some of it) dropped first.
