Ontario NDP win a landslide in the Hamilton East by-election!
Fmr. Gov. NickG:
That sounds like good news, but I don't follow Canadian politics very closely. How much chance is there the NDP can deny the Liberals a majority & force a coalition? And will the Liberals coalition w/ the NDP ahead of the Bloc?

Well this was a provincial by-election not a federal by-election... but is certain to have an impact federally as the Dippers were already targeting two of the three federal Hamilton seats (Hamilton East-Stoney Creek, and Hamilton Centre) and after this they will have a better chance of winning those... and they might go after Hamilton Mountain as well.

1) The Liberals are teetering b'tween majority and minority... kinda like 1997...
2) Martin will do all he can to avoid coalition with the BQ... it would be humiliating for him... and the BQ would just use it as an excuse to cause trouble.
