Conservatives Win in Canada, NDP in second

[nate895]

Canadian voters have delivered Conservative Leader Stephen Harper another election night victory, but it is still too close to call whether he will head a minority or majority government, CBC News projects. Meanwhile NDP Leader Jack Layton was set to become Official Opposition leader.

The NDP made a major breakthrough, more than doubling their seat count, while the Liberals were poised to suffer a major electoral loss.

From 4th to 2nd in one election cycle, that's pretty big. It looks like Conservatives might pick up a majority of the seats in the House of Commons.

That was before a lot of the western seats reported, and a lot of ridings still have leads of less than a hundred. There were a few with one vote separating the candidates at one point.
