From what I understand, not many Toronto polls are in relative to the 905 and north, so it is expected to widen a bit. That could be wrong though! Still very early.

CitizenVectron Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 So far (admittedly with only just over a million votes in) the Liberals are doing better than expected, popular vote-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dualhunter Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The other Maxime Bernier is back down to last place behind the Green Party candidate. If he can get at least another 125 votes, it would suggest that voters were confused by having 2 Maxime Berniers on the ballot as he'd beat the previous Rhino Party votes record.

chakoo Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Sad for minority, hopefully only a few seats under majority. At least extra good early news is Lisa Raitt might loose her seat. Now if only we could get rid of Michael Cooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The NDP are NOT that close to the Liberal in terms of policy. I have voted both Liberal and Conservative in my life. I have NEVER even considered voting NDP.
