Harper On His Way But...

So far this is turning into the "what could have been" election for the Conservatives.

Had they been just a tad more attentive to Quebec they could have possibly formed a national majority government and knocked on the Bloc Quebecois. They failed.

Speaking if the BQ, the popular vote in the province hovered around 38% the usual. While this calculates into roughly 49 or 50 seats, the fact remains that overall Quebec remains pretty much Federalist. The combined forces of the Liberal and Conservative votes (we can assume that NDP voters are on average Federalist in Quebec) overpower the BQ.

On the positive side for the Conservatives making inroads in Ontario - traditionally a Liberal bastion.
