I watched the election last night up to the point it was clear we lost the referendum, and that the possible breakthrough for Ontario's 4'th party was lost in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound. Had Shane Jolley won that riding for the Greens, the leaders debate for the next election would have been very different. This morning I also learn that Ontario voter turnout was a record low, suggesting that Ontario voters were simply bored by the whole process.
I still hear rumors of a federal election in the fall. While all parties claim they don't want an election, the Conservative party is setting themselves up to fall by proposing to create many artificial confidence votes. Hard to predict such an election given Canadian voters seem to not pay attention to politics between elections, and wouldn't necessarily know or care what lead up to the election.
