It's not often we see this kind of turnout in Canadian elections. It might be bad planning but I'm encouraged to see Canadians exercising their right to vote.

Conservatives beaten in New Brunswick. Possibly in BC.

I hope that the populist right is sufficiently bruised and battered by these results.

Not for nothing, but, British Columbians would at least have some answers, by now, if they just did whatever a bunch of dweebs from Halifax told them to.

If you thought the closeness of last night's #BCElection was exciting, we may have the same thing again tomorrow night!

My final projection for the #NBElection (with the caveat that polling in the province is quite thin):

This looks like as far as we will get with the #BCElection tonight.

It looks like the NDP will likely form government, possibly with Green support.
A Conservative government cannot be ruled out, but it looks unlikely at this stage.

Elections BC has told CBC that mail-in ballots in Juan de Fuca-Malahat won't be fully counted until next Saturday.

Given this could easily affect the winner of this riding, that could mean it takes much longer than expected to work out who is going to govern BC.

NDP leader David Eby tells supporters that, while the overall result is unclear, that there has been a majority for progressive politics.

He says he promises to work with the Green Party on shared priorities. Sounds like he expects to continue as Premier.

I'm not entirely sure I understand Elections BC's explanation for why there are 1-2 polls left to report in every riding.

Are they doing a hand recount to verify the tabulators before releasing the final poll? Is that what it is?

We have our first tick for the Greens, as Rob Botterell is elected in Saanich North and the Islands.
