There was also a bunch of people that try to talk to the volunteers there saying they have to be at work and can't afford to line up. So they try to see if they can skip. Really not sure what they expect, this isnt the airport security lineup where your flight is about to leave without you.
My location also had a seniors line up kind of. The volunteers would scope out the line up and pull seniors out to the front of the line so they didn't have to stand the whole time. | Why didn't these idiots just mail-in their votes if they are going to make a fuss about lining up. They had every opportunity to do so. Fucking people these days just love to complain.

We took advantage of the advanced voting option and were in and out in 5 mins max. Nobody made a scene and there was no drama.  | |

If people don't want to wait in line, why didn't they vote during advanced voting? There are always a couple of days' worth of it, including some days on the weekend. I did mail voting this time (as I did during last year's provincial election), but in the past when I did advanced voting, it was always a very, very quick experience with a minimal number of people, and there were always more voting staff than there were voters LOL~

Really long lineup in Nanaimo but only took 14 min. Had to deal with a guy who was parked in a pick-up truck blasting no one by Alicia Keys on repeat. Thought the guy was dead or on drugs. Went to talk to him. Had to yell a few times. Found out the guy is sad and would not turn it down.

Voted this afternoon, literally no line up, was in and out in 4 minutes here in North Burnaby 
There's literally no point advance voting in my area, never had to wait in a line up in my entire life whether Provincial or Federally.
Thank god we have a nationalized voting process, every election is nice and easy.
I still can never fathom how some have to wait 5-8 hours to vote in parts of the states, the fact that that's still happening should a national outrage there. My prediction is a Liberal minority, once again. NDP will get more seats then last election. | |

I think con minority. Bloc seats skyrocket. NDP picks up a couple. Wonder what's going to happen if libs do win minority again. Of course the theories of election fraud and conspiracies will be circulating.

My guess - Cons get 1 seat more than Libs. Libs and NDP form a coalition and ask GG to let them govern.

The problem with a con minority is who will work with them to pass a bill? He can put forward a bill that the NDP will like. Jagmeet said he will work with anyone that will tax the rich. But that will cause him to lose support. His only other option will be to call another election.

Great. Another 600m for the exact same outcome. I guess we can expect the same circus to happen in another 2 years. What’s another 600m? /s

Good news Mad max has lost again. I wonder how much he pays himself as the leader of the party.

Hopefully this puts an end to PPC. What a redneck waste of money

How do the conservatives move on from here. Tool tried to go to the left and failed and if they go more right they would fail also.

I still think the cons shot themselves in the foot by not voting leslyn Lewis as party leader

For point of reference, the number of seats by party BEFORE this election are:
Libs - 157
Cons - 121
Bloc - 32
NDP - 24
Green - 3
Independent - 1
So let's see how different the results are.

Little disappointed in a minority either way, either party. Oh well. One less Peleton ride without the Big Mac.
