Don't think it would be a good look to be in the United States on election day.
Your mortgage is killing you, ouch. Ours is 600 every two weeks (about 1200 a month) and we are in the renewal phase for about 1300 a month that we will be taking for January 1st.
1800 is rough!
I’ve heard the Liberal ground game is really good, but then every party says that.
Scheer really has no right getting anywhere near the PM position... He ran such an embarrassment of a campaign.
I think the Liberal database is better than the others? Weren't the Cons having problems with theirs in the past?
This is my 3rd time voting in a Federal election but this is the first of the 3 where we didn't have a real clear feeling on who the winner would be. Honestly even with some of the polls I don't think we have any idea. My dad is a staunch liberal and he told me the same thing, first time he can remember it not being a more natural wing.
Trudeau is actually very lucky at how poor of a leadership choice the cons / con voters made. Scheer faceplanted his way out of a clear victory imo. Played every scandal poorly, got caught lying, made a lot of flubs.
Yeah, I think if the cons picked a better leader they could've easily guaranteed a majority, which is absolutely frightening to me.
Your mortgage payments sound like heaven. LOL. I'm barely able to toss in more than $1500 a year into my RRSPs right now because of the mortgage. I'm 38 years old. Will keep plugging away and hope my income will grow in the next 5 years so things don't feel like such a tight squeeze.
We're just unlucky that so did basically everyone else, with hints from Singh that he's capable from time to time
I ended up just voting NDP after thinking it over. I know they won't win where I live and splitting the vote isn't a concern since the Liberal candidate will win regardless of my vote. I have no interest in voting conservative unless Michael Chong is their leader.
I would do unspeakable things for either of your mortgage payments, we're going to be moving into a new build next year and right now we're not anticipating anything less than $2200 per month for just the mortgage, and that's with 20% down. It's the sad reality of the Ottawa single home housing market these days
As Scheer put it a few days ago, isn't what he's doing going against "convention in modern Canadian politics"?
He'll find himself against """convention""" again if he tries to remain party leader after failing to secure a plurality of the seats.As Scheer put it a few days ago, isn't what he's doing going against "convention in modern Canadian politics"?
We can only hope. There is no riding in the country I want to flip red more then Carleton
To be fair, the Liberals also fucked up what was initially looking like an easy path to a majority. They made a lot of unforced errors that could've been easily avoided.
Damn. I guess it's all relative and how much you feel it depends on your income as well. But yeah, doesn't sound great.I would do unspeakable things for either of your mortgage payments, we're going to be moving into a new build next year and right now we're not anticipating anything less than $2200 per month for just the mortgage, and that's with 20% down.

Anyone else getting ad redirects in this thread or on resetera in general today? Going to some Digital News site. Not happening to me anywhere else. I'm on mobile.
Voted, and yeah, I wasn't on the list (other people in my house WERE) and had to essentially re-register (?) but whatever. It's done.
I asked two of the ladies why and they said it is probably indeed because of the address/postal code change we had and that there are thousands of people who didn't get the card/are going through the same thing because the new addresses weren't updated.

Yes, although the ones I've been hearing about and seeing today weren't on mobile. You can always see if they're affecting anyone else and/or report them here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-ad-reporting-thread.60928/
Yep. All Trudeau had to do was not shit all over himself, but he couldn't even do that.
For what its worth, this is shit he had already covered himself in years ago that some how we just saw on his shoes.
My worry is that the Conservatives elect to keep him in charge after a minor victory that he can claim like popular vote or more seats than the Liberals but not enough to wrest control.
First results I believe start in 4.5 hours in the Atlantic. Then the rest of Canada 2 hours later except BC, which will be about 1 hour later.
The last polls are closing in like 6 hours so... not soon lol.
$460 bi weekly for us. I am sure glad we bought when we did, because comparable homes went up 100k in our town since we bought in 2016.
Good job!
Headed out around 6:30pm when my gf gets home from work. I even managed to convince some younger people I work with that have never voted to go out and put their votes in.
what if the dairy cartel fixes it for Scheer
what if ordering milk in a bar was his signal to them

Here's my attempt to identify some exciting "ridings to watch" as the results come in. I'm not quite so knowledgable about Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces so please jump in with your suggestions of close ridings you think people should keep an eye on.
Ridings to Watch
BC
Burnaby North
Legendary NDP MP Svend Robinson is trying to make a political comeback in his old riding. The Conservative here was ejected from the party so this is a Lib/NDP tossup.
Vancouver Granville
JWR hoping to stay on as an independent, but she faces a Liberal competitor and potentially a surging NDP Candidate. Do folks in the riding stay loyal?
Vancouver Centre
Maybe maybe this time Hedy Fry doesn't win? lol.
White Rock, Langley City, Kelowna
Shout out to White Rock as a few posters live here. If the Liberals are truly 'regressing to the mean' then these long time Conservative leaning ridings should flip Conservative, but if they stay Liberal it could mean that millennial demographic change is significant.
Victoria
The Greens were the betting favourite to take this from the NDP, but the Greens have regressed and NDP has the momentum so maybe the NDP will hold it.
Nanaimo
The Greens took this NDP riding in a byelection, but maybe the surging NDP can take it back?
Alberta
Does it go all Conservative or do the NDP or Liberals hold any seats? Keep an eye on Edmonton Strathcona, Edmonton Centre and Calgary Centre.
Sask
Regina—Qu'Appelle
Would be kinda lol if Scheer lost his riding (probably won't happen).
Regina—Wascana
The lone Liberal seat in Sask, long time MP Ralph Goodale.
Manitoba
Winnipeg Centre
NDP's Leah Gazan is a strong competitor to Robert Falcon Oullette. This long time NDP riding could flip back.
Ontario'
Davenport
Can the NDP regain some of their Downtown Toronto seats or will the Liberals sweep Ontario?
Brampton East
This is the sort of 905 riding that the NDP are hoping to build support.
Ottawa Centre
this NDP vs Liberal contest is so close Jean Chretien was out campaigning.
Milton
Tossup Con/Lib. Theres a good chance the Liberals could snatch Lisa Raitt’s seat
QC
Beauce
Can Maxime Bernier of the People's Party win his seat or will Maxime Bernier of the Rhino party screw him over?
Berthier—Maskinongé
Popular local MP Brosseau may be the only NDP to hold their seat in Quebec.
Sherbrooke
I noticed an earlier rare riding level poll had this as a three way toss up race between Lib, Bloc and NDP. Should be exciting?
Atlantic
???

I'd second that opinion... the best way to keep either of the two main parties in some kind of reasonable check is to make them work in a minority government situation. The Conservatives - and even the Liberals to the lesser degree - become self-serving twats whenever they have a majority government.
Don’t joke about things like that! YOU MIGHT MAKE IT TRUE
/s........ maybe
I am actually more relaxed today than yesterday,
Scheer doing the media rounds on a day he is not supposed to demonstrated desperation in his micro emotions in his face.
Trudeau went voting with his family and they all seemed cheery and happy, a signal of confidence
Their internals know more than we know, and it is showing in their faces today
some emotions can't be faked, and I think Trudeau's got this

The mud is on his hands, and face.
If the Liberals don't get a majority, he's the one to blame.
Would love to see Bernier (PPC) loses, but if it's not him it's the CPC who get the seat so... everyone loses. :/
Quebec voting BQ is a surprise that limits his ceiling and makes majority much harder.
And Cons running a dirty campaign full of lies.
I hope KinsellaGate continues to leak after the election.
