Well, some of the polls are closed, and for the first time ever we're legally allowed to discuss the results before the remaining polls close. (Gotta love Twitter...)
So...
It's no surprise that Atlantic Canada tends to the left. What is a surprise is that out of 32 seats reporting, as of this posting the Liberals are leading in 32. Yes, all of them.
All the polls were predicting a three-way race between the Conservatives (right), Liberals (center-left), and NDP (left-center), and we were wondering who's be leading a minority Parliament. Of course, the polls in the big population centers in Quebec and Ontario are still open, so it's still anyone's race.
