What I find surprising about the Canadian election was how close it really was. I'm having a hard time finding the exact vote count but last time I saw the numbers between the Liberals and Conservatives it was like 50/50. The seats didn't work out that way because that's just how FPTP works. Yet no one is talking about it, they're all acting like a Liberal win was inevitable and also ignoring the fact that half their fellow citizens don't agree with them. We barely avoided becoming another country that slid into autocracy.

Unless I'm wrong and someone can find the numbers for total vote counts per party for me?

I'm relieved, but not happy with the #cdnelection
The fact that a socially right wing party like the #CPC has gotten the highest popular vote numbers in it's history is not good news. The almost complete collapse of our primary left wing party, the #NDP is not good news.

Wow, Jamil Jivani is a real tool, I hadn’t heard him talk until he used the moment of his victory to be nothing but negative.

Looks like Sohi will lose in #yeg, and also Desjarlais 😞

I worked a 12.25 hour shift overnight then biked in blasting northerly winds cold enough to make sea smoke on the Red River and got to my polling location shortly after it opened. Worked, voted, now it’s time for sleep. Hope everyone is able to get out there and vote today! @chad #Winnipeg #cdnelection
