(15,367 posts)Pre-COVID elections often provided results quickly after polls closed on the West coast but thats likely not the case this year, with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of mail in ballots expected.
The mail in ballots arent going to be counted until tomorrow at the earliest.

(15,325 posts)Why? All things considered, Justin Trudeau has been the leader other countries dream of.
Is a fringe created by a Conservative nefarious group pushing this insane oppo?
Please Canada, don't trade the good you have for the glorious promise of populism.

(9,961 posts)but NDP (New Democrat Party) has always been a third party with considerable support. We have always had more than 3 parties running in the elections, and this year along with the Green party we have the PPC, far right fascist party who last time I think got about 1% of the vote. The conservatives are very similar to your republican party and our liberal party is more centrist with a left lean and then NDP is more the progressive lefts.

(15,325 posts)They're on the fringe for a reason.
Look at what fringe Green Party Sinema did to upend the Dem agenda, once she ran & won by putting that D behind her name.
Fringe is fringe because they have a ideology of their own, not for all citizens considered.
Ask who they are beholden to, before signing on.
'It's our way or nothing.'
Their methids of advancement are betrayal & pre-scripted populist sloganeering.
It often results in a lopsided govt ripe for overthrow.
Don't do it.
