Well, the polls across the country have closed, and results continue to trickle in. In the race of greatest interest to everyone, here's where things stand:

Communist: 338
Marxist-Leninist: 362

As you can see, Team Karl really did put in the extra effort and managed to retake the lead after looking like a certain loser earlier in the evening.

Other results of note:

Animal Protection Party: 202
Centrist: 266
Canada Future Party: 694
Bible Thumpers Anonymous: 753
Libertarian: 1091
Marijuana Party: 2
No Affiliation Party: 97
Rhinoceros: 1263
United Party: 321

It's nice to see that both of the Marijuana Party's supporters managed to make it to the polls before they closed. The Rhinoceros Party managed to retake their lead from the Libertarians after some nervous times earlier on.

The real hero of the evening is the No Affiliation Party, flirting with 3-digit votes. Maybe they can pull it off before this thing is over.

In the meantime, we've been over at the Decision bar DESK Decision Desk and put our heads together, and we've decided on another round before we can call the final result tonight. We may be back later.

Sad to hear the Parti Rhinocéros Party of #Canada is having trouble getting signatures to stay afloat. They need something like 100 people to sign to maintain their registration at #ElectionsCanada

This is the party behind such bold policy moves as repealing the law of gravity, taxing the black market, nationalizing bacon, and building more #TimHortons in the Arctic to restore the polar Iced Capps

« Utiliser du caoutchouc plutôt que du béton lors de la fabrication des routes dans les grandes villes afin de réduire le nombre de blessures chez les cyclistes. » https://www.partyrhino.ca/fr/la-plateforme/

Enfin un parti qui a une partie de son programme dédié aux cyclistes! 🚲
