Then my next question is, if the federalists win tonight with the Tories polling 40% nationally, is Harper going to call the election soon or will tonight's results not have much to do with it?

The Quebec vote has lots to with it & most likely yes but, Harper's way too cagey to "call" an election which the public doesn't want and will instead select an appropriate, politically wise, hill for his government to die on at the seeming hands of the Opposition.

Accordingly, several 'election trip wires' have been set in the form of Legislation which it's highly unlikely to support with most scheduled to come before Parliament within the next 2-6 weeks.

"Canada's de facto Karl Rove" will then be able to ... snicker ... cry all the way to the ballot box with his government having been defeated over something along the lines of one of the CPC's proposed 'tough on violent crime' laws by the self-evidently bleeding-hearted & power mad Opposition Parties.

Plus if this turns out to be the exact scenario & with our relatively short - roughly 7 week - campaigns, should some especially appalling violent incident occur generating widespread public outrage part-way through ... hello, MASSIVE majority!

Too soon to tell but, 3-way race with PQ running 3rd!
Arguably the best possible outcome ... if it holds.

PING!
