If you're not up to speed here are the footnotes:

• Main candidates are Mark Carney (Liberal) and Pierre Pollievre (Conservative)
• Liberal leader stepped down earlier this year and Mark Carney took over as Canada votes for the Party not the individual leader.
• Pierre Pollievre is the conservative leader and main opposition for Liberals

Some important points that are driving this election:

• Cost of living
• Immigration
• US trade war / relations
• Crime

Damn I didn’t even consider crime

when do polls close

On the eastern coast I believe most are already closed and just counting. They said Ontario etc will probably start coming around 9:30pm EST iirc.

canadian first week sales bout to come in

Expound

I think midnight EST is when everything closes, assuming 9pm is the cutoff for each time zone?

So far seems like LPC swept most ridings that they were safe in, but idk, some might have flipped

Don't think greens or NDP are getting any seats atp

there's a riding called "king-vaughn"

lol i knew i kept hearing them say king von

polymarket comment section is hilarious rn LOL

CBC and CTV calling mark carney as PM

Lmao why didn’t I ever think checking these commments lol, they’re hilarious.
One mfer says: Big win tonight for murderers and pedophiles

theyre going insano rn

Welcome to Chinada!!

What does our og Canadian think

Damn, projected Mark Carney.

Mark Carney alone seems like a win, but I still have some fears about the liberal party as a whole since its a lot of the same people as before.

We will see.

The lib in my riding "has challenged his party's positions on several issues, including advocating for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza war in November 2023" so even the ktt communists love him

patrick weiler?

Doesn’t sound too bad

Poilievre must hate Trump so much man

I always forget youre from around the way
