Philippe J. Fournier: In every region the 338Canada projection was on the mark, and correctly identified the winner in 299 of 338 districts

Here is a brief post-mortem of last night’s election results compared with the final 338Canada federal projection. I say “brief” for two reasons: 1) I wish to wait until all the numbers are official before diving into individual districts; 2) I badly need some sleep.

Individual ridings aside, it is always a safe bet to trust the averages. And, as you will see below, the averages were pretty darn good. As you can see below, the Atlantic projection was almost spot on. The model had the Greens competitive in Fredericton, but not as the favourite .The Quebec projection was also very close, although it was expected that Maxime Bernier would win his seat of Beauce. He lost by 8 points against Conservative candidate Richard Lehoux.In Ontario, the model’s average overestimated the NDP and underestimated the Liberals.

The final 338Canada projection: The most uncertain federal election in decades - Macleans.caPhilippe J. Fournier: The night before the election, there is no certainty in the numbers. We could end up with the first popular vote and seat split in 40 years. This is all about Canada's future, and our children's & grandchildren's future. It's all well good for politician's to stand up spout off. But, it doesn't pay the college tuition fees or find students housing or pay the rent or even buy groceries. Vote smarter.. acoyne Wait - how many Liberal seats does Macleans think there were in Winnipeg? You are showing popular vote in that article. Why not their seat prediction?

Trudeau needs an Alberta unity strategy if he wins - Macleans.caAnd yes, it will have to include a pipeline. No he doesn't. He tried already and the conservative media just whipped Albertans into a rage frenzy. It's pointless. Why waste political capital on ingrates you mean like last time when he dropped $750million on Alberta to stabilize their economy? It already DOES include a pipeline. Could it be you're as dense as Albertans (and Rex Murphy) who seem not to give credence to the fact that the LIBERAL gov't spent $4+ billion to rescue a pipeline from abandonment by a Texas-based company's Canadian subsidiary? The mind boggles.

The Munk debate that never was - Macleans.caShannon Gormley: In this nasty, empty campaign, how would a debate on foreign policy have gone? Safe to say, pretty badly. When half the world are not really talking to us he would have had a tough time. If we do end up with a Liberal/NDP coalition we have a foreign minister who is banned from Russia and the NDP leader (role tbd) who is banned from India, promising!! acoyne Thank you for that!! It's too good....and I really needed the laugh. Yes it would have been because none of the leaders except for one have the gonads to answer a question directly. PPC2019
