Me too! When is it btw?So stoked for the election!
Sunday
My body is nowhere near ready, my body is not able to process that this is gonna happen, which, usually happens with major elections, it always seems like it will always be status quo and campaigning will continue forever.Quickly, everyone, get your bodies ready!
@Kanan, you think you could tell us a bit about what to expect on Sunday? As in, are you thinking of a series of real time posts the way info actually comes out on election days? Also, what time do you suppose things will get interesting? Last question is cos Im from outside the states, so I'd like to know if Im gonna be staying up all night for results.
so basically i'll be doing live posts on my discord channel for a good portion of the night (think nate silver's five thirty eight) and then sometime monday or tuesday they will all be formatted properly and posted here. I have a couple fancy maps and graphics in store but a lot of my plans (election night tv presentation) were demolished due to the chaos that was my summer. so really sunday is just going to be a long day of little election tidbits, tweets, and articles with a bbc-style map that fills in during the night. don't worry! i have exit polls and everything haha. It's just drastically scaled back as to how I wanted it to be. There will be a monster dump of data and analysis after the election up until the time the next Parliament is seated (probably early October!)
I did want to say I'm super sorry to everyone thinking that I will have another super big ace up my sleeve... I simply don't this time around
Oh indeed.Don't feel sad. This will still be awesome.
This sounds too awesome.

Going by Elinor's policies, it would be more likely that the 'wets' break away.Remember, you can always have someone on the Tory right break off Bernier style and force another election.....there's always next year right?
I love that graphic. Is that Customs House in Boston on the left, a la Big Ben in the BBC logos?
The level of how amazing your graphics are keeps on getting higher and higher.
@Kanan - When you're doing the election coverage, can you do Salem—Beverly (presumably my riding), as well as Moncton (Kathleen Blanco's riding)?
most (if not all) the ridings will be called on election night.
