Guess not. Couillard made some noise about being ready for a fall election, but I'm still betting on the opposition parties toppling Marois on the budget. This splintering of the separatist vote is badly squeezing them yet no solution in sight.

MMA has been barred from Canadian operations due to a lack of liability insurance. They're bankrupt in all senses anyways, good riddance.

PQ and CAQ rule out a fall election.

The 308 has it's Nova Scotia model ready to go. Cheesy

Current Projection:
Liberal: 44.7%, 28 seats
NDP: 25.8%, 13 seats
PC: 25.8%, 10 seats
Green: 3.0%, 0 seats

Roughly what's expected. Also the Liberals will have a b*tch of a time winning a majority if they do much worse than 45%.

Just took a look at the seat by seat results. Pretty typical stuff. Liberals gain a lot, NDP lose a lot, Tories gain and lose and basically break even. Personally I think the NDP are too weak in Halifax and too strong in the rural areas, but whatever.

Also the NDP are supposed to win Cumberland North... WTF?!?! It's a safe Tory seat. MLA gets arrested for drunk driving/fleeing the scene of a car crash, runs independently and the right wingers lose on vote splits during a record breaking year for the NDP. Obviously a prime candidate for the NDP to hold when they're sh**tting the bed Roll Eyes

I feel dirty seeing my colour scheme for an Eric Grenier projection Wink

I wonder if he is using Elections Nova Scotia's redistributed results completely? Remember, they looked at the most recent by-elections for some reason.

I think he used the redistributed by-election results. Inverness would've been much closer if he hadn't.

McDougall is quitting the PMO next month for a London job, and his replacement (not named yet) will be the eighth person to hold that job. Ivison says that's because McDougall was Wright's guy.

So what's everyone's over/under on an Ontario election next year, assuming Horwath sticks to her guns about no transit taxes? Mine's 50/50, will never believe Horwath pulls the trigger till I see it.

I'm thinking 60-40 for the pull being plugged in the Spring. What do you guys think about Quebec?

I'd say quite probable. Marois is vulnerable, but never count out an incumbent.

Spring. Liberals wants an election this fall, but, with municipal elections, it's not really possible except in December.

However, I doubt very much than next Marois' budget will pass. So, spring.

Yay, it's been months since I had a good campaign to follow.

While I sympathize with the goal of saving small bookstores, having patronized a couple in my neighbourhood since childhood, reducing or hobbling competition (and I'm sure the chains' lawyers would find a loophole) doesn't help competitiveness. They're hardly the only interest groups to think this way.

PQ's looking for a squirrel because in the past year, 40k jobs have been lost and only 80 - not a typo- have been created.

Well the separatists have never been known for their competence in economics.

It's not as if the Liberals were any better. As least PQ reached balanced budget.

Did anyone really expect Marois to not be a train wreck?
