In my own riding, and tons of others, Conservatives won what they had no business winning...because the Libs & NDP split the vote.<br /><br />I hope these numbers are a reflection of Ontario finally getting that...at least on the federal scene...we have to get with the rest of Canada and accept the NDP as the alternative.<br /><br />On a sidenote, I'm really loving the imagery of BC being the western wing of the party & Ontario being the eastern wing. If the praries have decided to throw their lot in with the Albertans, it's Ontario & BC that serve as a powerful counter-weight to Alberta's petro-fuelled dominance.Dan Tannoreply@blogger.com
