2. I predict a Liberal landslide

and the Conservatives tossed on their ass just for the bad stench conservatism has left in the media and society down south in general -and- for Eves cozying up to Jeb Bush this past spring.

3. Good

Alan always voted either LIB or NDP while he lived there. He's still a citizen, but unfortunately can't absentee vote while living in the US.

6. This is great news!

Here is a link to CBC article:

http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/10/02/ontpolls_closed031003

The win gives Ontario only its second Liberal majority government in 65 years. The PCs under Ernie Eves will form the Official Opposition.
