I have a hard time getting worked up over the Harper win.  I know I'm supposed to be worked up, but I'm just not.  I never had the great dislike for Martin that I had at times for Chretien.

See, for me it's the other way round. I never had any of the sympathy for Martin that I always had for Chrétien.

Seat changes and electionprediction correctness. No time to do Onto, maybe someone can add that.

Nfld
Lib 4 (-1)
Con 3 (+1)
Avalon only change; Avalon only ep error

Nova
Lib 6
Con 3
Dip 2
No change; no error; Dippers outpolled Tories across the province.

PEI
Lib all 4
No change; no error

NB
Lib 6 (-1)
Con 3 (+1)
Dip 1 (0)
Net result as predicted; but 2 riding errors. electionprediction had Saint John switching, instead Tobique-Mactaquac did.

Québec
BQ 51 (-3)
Lib 13 (-8)
Con 10 (+10)
i 1 (+1)
Cons outpolled Grits across the province. Seat changes -
Liberals to Bloc - Ahuntsic, Jeanne-Le Ber*, Papineau, Brôme-Missiquoui, Brossard-La Prairie*, Gatineau
Liberals to Tories - Pontiac, Beauce
Bloc to i - Portneuf
Bloc to Tories - Beauport*, Charlesbourg*, Louis Hébert*, Louis St Laurent, Lévis-Bellechasse*, Lotbinière*, Mégantic-L'Erable*, Jonquière-Alma*
* represent electionprediction errors. All errors were on the side of caution, ie prediction was for no change.

Manitoba
Con 8 (+1)
Lib 3 (0)
NDP 3 (-1)
Churchill went from Dip to Lib, Winnipeg S from Lib to Con. electionprediction predicted no changes.

Saskatchewan
Con 12 (-1)
Lib 2 (+1)
Dip 0 (0)
We still outpolled the Liberals, although I think our vote share went down. electionprediction failed to spot Liberals gaining Churchill River, and falsely predicted Regina-Qu'Appelle to go Dipper.

Alberta
Con 28 (+2)
Lib 0 (-2) Yeah I know, -1, and i -1. Anyways, electionprediction was right. Sad

Territories
Lib 2 (-1)
Dippers 1 (+1)
Con 0
Dippers took Western Arctic. No changes were predicted.

BC
I'll do this in the following format-
incumbent party - prediction - winner
Con Con Con 17: Delta - Richmond E, Fleetwood - Port Kells, Port Moody etc, S Surrey etc, Abbotsford, Chilliwack - Fraser Canyon, Langley, Pitt Meadows etc, Kamloop etc, Kelowna, Kootenay - Colville, Okanagan - Coquille, Okanagan - Shuswap, Prince George - Peace River, Cariboo - Prince George, Nanaimo - Alberni, Saanich - Gulf Islands
Con Con Lib 1: W Vancouver - Sunshine Coast
Con Dip Dip 3: New Westminster - Coquitlam, S Interior, Island N
Con Dip Lib 1: Newton - North Delta
Dip Dip Dip 4: Vancouver E, Burnaby - Douglas, Skeena, Nanaimo - Cowichan
Dip Lib Dip 1: Burnaby - New Westminster
i Dip Dip 1: Surrey N
Lib Con Lib 1: N Vancouver
Lib Dip Dip 1: Victoria
Lib Dip Lib 1: Esquimalt - Juan de Fuca
Lib Lib Lib 5: Vancouver C, Kingsway, Quadra, Vancouver S, Richmond
So that the result is
Con 17 (-5)
Dip 10 (+5)
Lib 9 (+1)
i 0 (-1)
the prediction had been
Con 19 (-3)
Dip 11 (+6)
Lib 6 (-2)
i 0 (-1)
and the number of prediction errors is 4.

Some interesting Toronto results... Ignatieff (who I'll admit to liking *prepares to be hit by rocks*) won, that crooked piece of **** Bulte lost in Parkdale-High Park (yay!)... Chow *finally* beat Tammany (er... Tony...) Ianno, Churley failed to win Beaches-East York (seems as though gentrification hath doomed the Dippers out there). Wappel won easily. Bugger.

*looks at Earl's map*

NDP sweep Hamilton? Smiley Finally win London Fanshawe? Hey... is that *blue* I see for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell? Huh

Yes.
Liberals won a bare majority of seats, 54 to Tories' 40 to Dippers' 12.

Good Lord... you know part of that riding had had a Liberal M.P from the 19th century onward... I guess it completes the death of the Liberals in rural Eastern Ontario then. Amazing to think that seats like Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and Stormont-Something-South Something were once Liberal strongholds... two of them even refused to budge in 1984...

No, there's still a Last Grit Standing in ...what's it called? Kingston & The Islands?

Which doesn't count as it's a) largely urban b) a university town and c) traditionally Tory (albeit in a High Red Tory sort of way).

Odd... the NDP crossed the deposit (ie; 15%) level in a couple of rural Eastern ridings (the traditionally Tory ones rather than the old Red Belt ones).

===

Interestingly the NDP didn't do so badly in the "Saskatoon" ridings; nearly cracked 40% in Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar (most blue collar riding in Saskatchewan, btw) and finished a decent second in Blackstrap (something that suprises me a lot). I suppose demographically Saskatoon is naturally *much* more Dipper than Regina...

Yeah; a tight three way race. NDP candidate came third. Dippers did better than expected in the two Thunder Bay ridings though... came close to ending the since-Confederation rule of the Liberals in Algoma as well. Angus took 50% in Timmins-James Bay...

It's sort of funny really. Last time the Dippers increased their vote share by ... like ... 50% and added a smattering of seats. Now their vote just went up a notch or two and they gained ten seats.

Desnethé - Missinippi - Churchill River, 106 votes
Winnipeg South, 120 votes
Glengarry - Prescott - Russell, 210 votes.

I trust that the 10 "ridings" in Quebec that voted Conservative were concentrated in the English-speaking Anglo-Irish parts of the province?

And I thought Manitoba, in federal elections, was much more Liberal than just 3 seats from the previous election.

But, really, what does this election even matter? The Liberals + Blocquistas + the Socialists form an absolute majority and can continue their policy, only without Martin.

Nope. Only one (Pontiac; rural riding north of Ottawa) has a large Anglo population. The really big concentration is in Quebec City.

But what is a little hate when you can govern an entire country? [/cynicism]

I thought French Canadians only outside of Quebec voted Conservative, at least in provincial elections. I know that NB and Manitoba, in particular, have many French Tory MPs. You learn something everyday ...

Or, put in another way, that the two extant parties in Quebec were the Bloc and the Liberals -- one for "states rights" and the other for federalism.

Yes, but only conditionally; last time they gave genuine support was back in the early '70's.

Like I've said before, Harper has about six months of safety. After that (and only if he messes up badly) they'll be a window period in the late summer/early autumn where he might be toppleable. If not then (and because no one wants to risk another winter election methinks) he'll last into 2007 at least. O/c if things go well, he'll call a snap election at some point and try to get himself a majority.

The Tories doing well in Quebec is something that only started a few weeks ago... seriously... although Charest-PC's did do fairly well there in '97 (but in a different part of Quebec). And if you go back to the '80's, Mulroney pretty much swept the province in '84 and '88.

In New Brunswick the main Franco-Tory area is Madawaska (paired with Franco-Liberal Restigouche at the moment) which is much more like Quebec than it is the rest of NB... the Acadians were always Liberal though (federally anyway. Not quite so solid provincially). Past tense is important; since 1997 the most Acadian riding in NB (Acadie-Bathurst) has been represented by a Dipper (Yvon Godin; who's just beaten a Liberal star candidate by close to 10,000 votes).

The Tories were good (very good) at attracting soft-nationalists (the hardcore Federalist ridings in Montreal all stayed Liberal; as did the city itself. Just...) this time round.
