Tracking the election online

** We’re watching the numbers across Canada on tv and on the web. Notes so far:

**

 * 
[
 CTV
](http://www.ctv.ca/mini/election2008/electionResults.html)
and
[
 CBC
](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/)
appear to have the most up-to-date seat results.

 * 
We like CBC's interactive and colourful map.

The Elections Canada results page
[
 unreachable
](http://enr.elections.ca/)
.  Same with the
[
 Ottawa Citizen
](http://ottawacitizen.com/)
.
  


 * 
As far as we can tell, CBC has the easiest/quickest way to
[
 check local riding results
](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/ridings/ottawa.html)
.

 * 
We like
[
 CTV's results page
](http://www.ctv.ca/mini/election2008/electionResults.html)
with lots of extra data, including popular vote, cabinet minister re-election results, etc.

 * 
Scott Feschuk's
[
 liveblog
](http://blog.macleans.ca/2008/10/14/liveblogging-election-night-from-the-couch-o-democracy/)
is entertaining.

What's with CBC's headshot icon of Elizabeth May?  It doesn't look like her at all .

We'll be updating local results today and tomorrow on our
