Democrats Abroad celebrate Obama victory in Toronto
While there was some serious nail-biting over the course of the evening, the Democrats Abroad US Election party in Toronto ended with a room full of jubilant faces as most major networks declared President Obama winner of a second term at around 11:30 p.m. It would be a long wait until the victory speech was delivered, but it hardly mattered for the group gathered at the Sheraton Centre's Dominion Ballroom, who erupted when the big announcement was made. The mood, I'm told, was decidedly less upbeat at the Harbour Sports Grille, where Republicans Abroad gathered for an election party not meant to end until Romney was declared winner. Ouch.

All of you should be ashamed of yourselves! If you're so interested in what's going on to the south--without bothering to care about things here at home--then get the eff out of this country!!!
And to the CBC: Are you really a CND broadcaster?! The constant and endless coverage of the election on both TV and radio is appalling! As a taxpayer, I want my money back, and I hope Harper further cuts your budget!
"Everyone knows Canada's regulations are constituent to American trade structure and politics, you dim twat."
So, Jen, tell me what Obama and Romney's platforms are with regards to foreign policy--specifically with Canada? Oh, you don't know?! LOL. Thought so.
Please, go back to watching e-talk and being a follower.
These are very informed, very well read, very well rounded citizens who don't just sit at home and bitch but get out and make a difference in the world. If there were more people who volunteered their time for causes, more people voting in every election, more people passionate about their country and who get out and do something about it, then both countries would be better off.
Polls show 70% of Canadians would have voted for Obama, just like a majority of Americans did. This is democracy in action and in all its rainbow colors!
Do you know what Democrats Abroad is, jackass? It's a group of American citizens who support Democrats Abroad. The group has organizations in over 50 countries world wide. Did you see the part where I mention AMERICAN citizens? We vote in all U.S. federal elections and are active in get out the vote efforts among Americans here in Canada (and those 50 other countries) as well is in the U.S.
So, your smug attitude is particularly amusing when it's clear you don't know what you're talking about.
I personally see an ex-pat American I know, who has lived in Canada for the past few decades, in one of the pics.
So, there's that.
