I'd have to agree with you on the NDP front. Layton screwed himself good hehe

Duceppe is a smart communist ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Duceppe ) and plays well in Quebec. Duceppe might even gain a few seats.

Harper well.....he has to fight:

Years of balanced budgets, an economy that while not red hot is O.K., a scandal that happened (yawn) and has been brushed under the carpet, a Liberal machine that even Karl Rove would have trouble cracking.

My predicition:

A Liberal Majority.

It will take a few years and the Liberals will fall but I just don't see it this time.

The Liberals will be wiped out in Quebec except in a handful of anglo ridings. They will lose some marginal seats in Ontario they kept the last time. Toronto area voters will punish the NDP by switching a couple of seats over to the Liberals. My prediction: a slightly stronger Liberal minority Government. This will be (unless I'm wrong) another status-quo election.

I agree.

These Revelations take time.

Some don't see the time required to change however.

We are on the same page and if you look at the history of Canadian poltics when governments end up with a minority status it takes several elections before a majority government comes to power.

eg Trudeau to Mulronney.

I see five years before a sea change one way or the other.
