Across the country, turnout was at least 59 per cent.

That 59 per cent turnout figure will change as @ElectionsCan_E verifies roughly a million mail-in ballots.
The agency will also be counting ballots by those who were not registered but showed up at a polling station. Both those totals are not yet known.

A question everyone should be asking: WHY has #cdnmedia failed to report on one of the biggest political scandals in decades. O’Toole & #CPC colluded w/ #Conservative premiers to delay implementing covid measures until after #elxn44vote. People died as a result #CovidInquiryNow
The very next day after #elxn44vote, #JasonKenney shuffles Shandro, #ScottMoe flies under the radar & the UCP sends an official request to the Trudeau gov’t for help. (Because of jurisdiction the feds must be invited). Something UCP could’ve done weeks ago. #CovidInquiryNow
🗳️ Election 2021: Latest updates
@JustinTrudeau didn’t get the Liberal majority he hoped for in Monday’s election, but with 158 seats leading or elected, the party is set to govern in a 44th Parliament that looks largely the same as the 43rd. #elxn44

In coming days and weeks, Trudeau is likely to face questions from his caucus about whether the snap #elexn44 call was worth it, but Monday night he focused on what he called the “clear direction” from voters to stay on a progressive course.

To form a majority, a party needs 170 or more MPs in the 338-member House of Commons.
As of Tuesday morning, the seat distribution was more or less the same as Aug. 15, when Parliament was dissolved. #elxn44vote

Interesting pattern in #elxn44vote: 21 ridings have CPC+PPC vote shares above the LPC or NDP winning share.
This doesn't imply CPC would have won if PPC didn't exist, of course. But it's interesting.

A non-trivial number of seats were at stake. Even if just a relatively small share of the PPC vote went to CPC. #elxn44vote
Of course, "vote splitting" is a much larger issue between LPC and NDP than between CPC and now PPC.
First calls of the night:

Pas de surprises. Nouvelle-Ouest était compétitive en 2019.

During this election, I’ve seen a ton of hypocrisy and dishonesty in #ConservativeParty attacks, and compiled some of this
#cpc claim: the cons never wanted this “vanity election.”
Picture: #otoole was demanding it for months #elxn44vote

#cpc claim: Trudeau bought the media and it was all biased for him.
Picture: most media in Canada is heavily biased in favour of the conservatives, and has been for years.

The election is tomorrow. Erin O'Toole has replaced his public appearances with a little film. He ordered his candidates to go into hiding a few days ago. This says a few things to me... 1/8 #elxn44vote #Elxn44
1) He doesn't trust any of his candidates to not say something that will screw everything up even worse. Does a party that has been upfront with Canadians need to keep their candidates from speaking? 2/8
2) O'Toole is plenty ruffled himself. That last press conference in the curling rink where he had to hang onto the podium to keep himself from running out of the room? Yowza. This does not particularly inspire confidence. 3/8
Canada has faced a rude awakening around the rise of anti-Asian racism.

Shiwei Mao, a Chinese-Canadian retiree, is angry that the pandemic has become a political issue and has changed her idea of safety. She believes pandemic measures should have been led by experts and scientists instead of politicians. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
Amy Go, the president of the Chinese-Canadian National Council said the pandemic highlights wealth disparities. “The pandemic really highlights the differential access to services of racialized seniors and seniors who don’t speak English." thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

- when did Trudeau say he was against taxing billionaires? Mr. Singh just said both Mr. Trudeau & Mr. O'Toole are against taxing the billionaires. This presser is nuts. Too many disingenuous statements. Discouraging that there are voters that believe him.
