Worthwhile Canadian election thread
By 
With the polls closing in BC, seems like a good time to start a thread for those so inclined. One initial takeaway is that in addition to the decline of the NDP — who are in real danger of not reaching the 12-seat threshold they need to retain official party status — there has been a near-total collapse of the even-more-Trumpy-than-Poilievre PPC and relatively poor early results for the Bloq Quebecois, so there is likely to be an unusually high vote share for the Liberals and Tories.

…The CBC has called a Liberal government. Again, amazing given where things were in January.
