Well, Ontarians have a vivid memory of Rae days of the 90's, and the prospect of a possible NDP government shifted a lot of centre-right Lib voters to the Cons in the past 48 hours.
So Harper gets his majority (God help us). At least there's a fixed time for the LPC to reflect and rebuild. A new leader looks to be on the way (Ignatieff currently trailing in his riding), lets hope they get it right this time.
On the silver lining side of things, the NDP explosion in Quebec is wonderful to see as it effectively kills off the BQ. And it looks like Elizabeth May is on her way into the HoC. And, while the majority has been achieved, it is not a sizeable one - and some Conservative ministers have fallen.
