I didn't they'd start showing results already. Is it on any news channels?

CBC always has live coverage.
They start showing results as soon as the polls start closing. Newfoundland closed it's polls at 7:30 ET. The rest of the maritime provinces closed at 8pm ET. All the other provinces except BC closed a few minutes ago (9:30 ET) and BC closes sometime after 10pm.

I'm not impressed... The conservative's won in my riding, and I really really like the NDP leader in my area..But at least there's a much bigger difference in parliament

The NDP has made quite a comeback from 4 years ago, when they didn't even get enough seats to have official party status! They jumped up 8.1% of the popular vote.
I'm looking forward to seeing how a minority government works...as I wasn't alive during the last one

Liberals, but it's a minority government so their power is quite limited for the next few years.
Take a look at the cnn.com front page...not a damn thing about our election. America really doesn't give a shit about its northern neighbour

I think that the media ban on televising results before the polls have closed in that area was lifted this year.

I am glad to see that Jack Layton won in his riding. I will always remember him fondly as a Toronto city councillor.
BTW, I had no idea how well educated he is.
I did vote Liberal. I have always voted NDP in the past but in my neighborhood there were a crazy amount of conservative signs. I was afraid that it would be close and I really didn't want the conservatives to win. It seems that my fears may've been unfounded. The liberal incumbent won about 60% of the vote here.

We're completely the opposite in this election! I've always voted Liberal...but went NDP this time around. I thought it'd be a close race between the Conservatives and Liberals, but I was pretty certain the Liberals would come out on top. I wanted to see the NDP get back some of the seats the lost in the last few elections. They doubled the number of seats they had from last election!

So many people vote Liberal because they don't want the Conservatives to win, I wonder if maybe that's what the Liberal want you too do
