The core urban areas will remain Liberal. Everything else will fall to the Tories. As for the Conservatives not getting a majority, its simply because a clean sweep of Quebec isn't going to happen. Brian Mulroney achieved that in both of his wins in 1984 and 1988. Not this time. Unless such a breakthrough in Quebec materializes, a 200 seat plus Conservative majority is out of the question. If they get very lucky tonight, 160 seats are possible but I don't think they'd get more than that - not unless they win in places like Kingston and the Islands and pick off a couple of 416 Liberal seats. So the best they can hope for are 140. It will have to do tonight.

That is what a lot of people are predicting. But it sure beats the hell out of the last few elections and sure beats the hell out of what the polls said at the start of this election.

The CPCs have come a long way in such a short time.

There are two ridings in Toronto that I will be watching - Etobicoke Lakeshore and St. Pauls. I would love to see us take on of those ridings. My dream would be the CPCs to take either Don Valley East or Don Valley West but I think I am a little too hopeful for that.

That's why maybe it would be better for Canada to let Quebec go independent, so that the Conservatives can get a majority. That's probably why the Liberals fear Quebec separation, they know it could spell doom for them.
