I have a weird feeling that the NDP will be wiped off the electoral map.

338 is predicting only 2 solidly NDP seats with one in Alberta and one in Quebec.

Both of those strike me as odd locations for NDP seats.

My instincts tell me we could be looking at a Red Wedding tomorrow.
 
The final poll of the election is out from Forum Research. It has Liberals at 43%, the Conservatives at 39%, the NDP at 8%, the Bloc Quebecois at 6%, the Green Party at 2% and the PPC at 1%. Their seat projection is Liberal 186, Conservatives 122, Bloc Quebecois 29, and NDP 6. Do note that some of their regional polling leads seem wildly off, as its unlikely the Liberals are ahead by 18% in Ontario or the Conservatives ahead by 12% in BC, and also note that this is the highest any pollster has measured the Bloc Quebecois at for seat count.

Where i live out in the burbs, i can count on one hand how many NDP lawn signs i have seen. It's all Conservative and Liberal lawn signs. Although way more Conservative signs than Liberal, which isn't that unusual for the burbs sadly.

I’m working at a poll tomorrow. 8:30 am (set up). Polls go 9.30 to 9.30. Then count the ballots and return them to the election office. It’s going to be a long day!

Not for you.......... you're naturally a go-go person. I don't think you're phased by anything under 18 hours.
 
And so it begins....

Who is willing to go on record with projections?

I'll go with a Liberal majority, though smaller than expected at 177 seats.

I'm in Scarborough Southwest and it's a bit of a different story here.

Plenty of NDP signs in key areas but not many in residential locations.

An interesting anecdote, I've noticed we had very few visits by candidates or their representatives this election.

We also had very little (if any) campaign lit left behind.

It's almost as though this election caught everyone so off-guard that they made due with what they had on hand. It's like they didn't have time to find a candidate and produce literature in time for it to be effective

Same here in University-Rosedale - there was a canvasser for Freeland who knocked at the very beginning and asked me to add my signature to her nomination paper. No one else came by, and the only literature I got was a CPC flyer that I put through the shredder immediately.
 
I saw Julie Dzerovicz at Dufferin Station one morning, and that was it for me in Davenport.

I think we'll know well before midnight if the polls were broadly right and we're getting a Carney government. If it's in that 43-39 range, it'll probably be pretty late before we know whether it's a majority or minority.

If the gap is smaller than that, it likely means quite a late night and a bunch of recounts. But even if the Liberals have fewer seats in the end, they'll get the first shot at forming government, so you can probably go to bed at midnight knowing that Carney is our PM for at least a couple more months.

Or they didn't have time to fundraise enough cash to pay for it.
