When the Conservatives under Stephen Harper won a majority in 2011, they got 39.6% of the vote.
Right now, they have 39.9% of the vote.
But the collapse of the NDP and Bloc vote to the Liberals create a completely different electoral math.

You've got the Liberals at 159 seats where they're leading, 12 short of a majority.
You've got 6 ridings in B.C. that the Liberals won in 2021 where no votes have been counted yet.
FOLKS
IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT (probably) TO SEE IF THERE'S A MAJORITY

The anonymous ballot markings for the city council byelection are now up on Vancouver Open Data. Since vacation is a thing, I'm just going to leave this link here, patiently wait for someone else to do the full analysis, and pretend like I'm not already doing the math myself as I type this.

Turnout will be around 13-15% per cent — better than 2017, but not the type of thing that justifies a three hour wait at a polling station.
Done for the night.
Good to be back home, good to be back reporting on the things I love.
Having free and fair elections is a constant thing to fight for.

And the final results are in.
Orr and Maloney in a blowout, with Orr on more than half the ballots cast — an impressive result on a crowded ballot, even in a byelection context.
ABC gets around 13% of the vote, slightly ahead of how Vision did in the 2017 byelection when they were in power.

I can confirm this happened — imagine they did this based on internal numbers, checking back with their potential voter pool, and where all the long lines were throughout the day

If you share any seat projection forecast for an individual riding and call it a poll, I will think you are simple at best and a disingenuous hack at worst.

Given how strong the shake was in my low-rise apartment building in Vancouver from this earthquake... hello, new nightmares.
Friendly reminder: a 4.8 magnitude earthquake has 1,000 times less energy than a 7.8 magnitude earthquake

I suppose I should do an actual intro here about being a journalist in Vancouver and so on... but it seems far more fitting to alert you all to the very important development that Connections now has a dark mode.
