I don't think so. The liberals lost some seats because they were so flagrantly corrupt. But the majority of the voters in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes still want a free lunch.

Once again I have to state that Ontario is the largest provider of transfer payments to the rest of the country, not a recipient. Ontario voters seem not to care that the federal government does so little for them.

Now in the Atlantic provinces people tend to vote for whatever party they think will win the election, so as to be on the right side and get extra goodies.

Many Quebeckers on the other hand seem to think that they're getting the short end of the stick, when in fact Quebec is the largest net recipient of federal transfers, although not on a per-capita basis.

Manitoba, Saskatchewan and at times BC are also net recipients of federal dollars.
