In New Brunswick, many (about 30-35% or so) of the French-speakers are conservative, unlike in Quebec where conservatism is virtually unheard-of...
That was my point. It is one of the few provinces to have a Conservative premier, and it is just not believable that he was elected with just the anglophone vote.
The same is starting to happen in Ontario. The Conservatives picked up one of the easternmost seats (Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry) and should hold it with over 50% of the vote, while they are also in a position to pick up Glengarry-Prescott-Russell which is majority francophone...even if the Libranos held it previously with 70% of the vote (they got about 45% last time out).
