Based upon polling history, these guys can be quite off in terms of "actual" results.

What I am curious about is what happened to long-time, Winnipeg-based pollster Probe Research in this election? They are an expensive yet quite accurate (relatively-speaking) CATI pollster. First time that Probe Research has not released MB provincial public opinion polls, during an election campaign, in decades. Perhaps just too expensive, as a CATI pollster, these days. I dunno.

That said, yep, looks like a PC majority tomorrow night.
Probe did a poll at the end of March/beginning of April and then suddenly stopped. Not sure why. In any event, mainstreet was the only one to call Trudeau's majority correctly.
