So there are 11 seats undecided
Liberals leading in 7 PC 2 and NDP 2
The Liberals are on the majority number but they have more of the undecided seats where it could flip back

it would be a disgusting slap in face of democracy if 37 percent of the support translate to a majority government.

My theory on Trinity-Spadina:
The polls serving people living in new condos were run very efficiently and Liberals were leading there.
The polls serving students and hippies were really crowded, closed late, and took a lot longer to count the ballots. The NDP votes are now showing up late.

That 35% of this province would vote for Hudak's Conservatives is, frankly, frightening as hell.
Relieved Rosario's pulled ahead. Very sad for YSW.

I believe that makes him the first NDP MPP from Peel since 1995, if not ever.

Jagmeet Singh (NDP- Bramalea Gore Malton) elected! First time the NDP has ever won a seat in the Peel region. CBC says he is trilingual.

York South--Weston is essentially out of reach. Ferreira needs to gain something like 18 votes over Albanese for every outstanding poll.

Olivia mentioned that the lack of affordable housing in downtown may be forcing some lower-income people out, and this would naturally have an impact on the NDP vote.

CBC comentator: how do you square Hudak's comments about foreign workers with the need to make gains in Toronto where you have a huge "racialised" population. what?

i kind of like Hudak personally , more so than Dalton. ugh. I pray this is going to be a minority government.

Jagmeet Singh, well done! High point of the night for me.
17 seats is a return to respectability. A good place to begin the next fight. (And it is probably coming sooner than four more years.)

Just watched a bit of Hudak's speech - he reminds me of "The Joker" as played by Jack Nicholoson, and he doesn't need makeup.

Carol Mitchell has been defeated in Huron-Bruce by Lisa Thompson. Grant Robertson for the NDP came in third.

Jagmeet Singh declared elected with less than 50 percent of polls in and Kular gaining? Some of these 'declared electeds' are close, including Essex where Brister isn't much behind the NDP. . Poor NDP candidate selection in the Thunder Bay ridings and in Windsor West.
Interesting to see some of the bigger name Liberals going down - Dombrowsky, Aggelonitis, possibly Wilkinson - but people like Albanese and Mauro and no-name 905ers sail through and they're keeping it super tight in Davenport. Meanwhile, they capture 11 and 10 percent of the vote in Timmins and Rainy River, respectively but manage 2nd place 25+ in Temiskaming-Cochrane.
Interesting election. McGuinty will eek it out by one or two seats. Bartolucci's 300 vote lead in Sudbury could be the deciding factor. Or the 400 votes Pettapiece hason Wilkinson.

I think Singh's victory is assured; Kular would have to beat him on average by more than 25 votes in each of the remaining polls in BGM to take back the lead.

I think Dalton McGuinty may just miss out on a majority by a couple of seats, and if that happens it will be because of the only mistake he made in this campaign - writing off Northern Ontario. By not attending the N. Ontario debate and conceding the area to the NDP, it may be what costs him a 3rd majority.
Not really, the ones they lost there were by wide margins

It now looks like the most the Liberals can win is 53 seats. So minority is almost certainly will be(barring some weird changes in any recounts).
Thu, 2011-10-06 23:19
#141
With a slim minority, the party whips are going to be running in overdrive, but I could imagine Dalton governing on a case-by-case basis rather than a formal coalition. Again the trick is passing the throne speech and the budget.

So the tight undeclareds are Kitchener Centre, NOrthumberland-QW, Perth-Wellington, Niagara Falls and Sudbury? (the latter being all but over)

500 votes to go with only two polls. Enviro Min. WIlkinson is lost. 10 polls to go in Northumberland with a 500 differential in Northumberland is looking like a PC win too. But Bartolucci keeps Sudury red by 400. Close races!

This is a wonderful night for the Liberals. Not just provincially, but federally too as it may point to the possible resurrection of the federal brand in Ontario:
But even one of [Harper's] MPs, chatting casually in a cafeteria lineup in the Centre Block this week, was worried.
"It means the Liberal party is back," he said, having in mind the federal Liberal party, crushed so decisively in Ontario in the May election.
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/stephen-harper-may-bigges...
Question is, if you're not a secret Harper fan, why would you WANT the Liberals back? It's not as if they have anything to offer anyone.

Bartolucci hangs on in Sudbury by about 500 votes.
It's all over in York South-Weston. Only 7 polls to go and Ferreira is 800 votes behind.
I'm not sure I'd be calling Davenport or Trinity-Spadina just yet, either - very narrow leads in both and still 25-30 polls to declare in each.
Disappointing result in Windsor West. The scuttlebutt seems to be that the NDP did not nominate a particularly strong candidate.

Horwath signaled the NDP will work with MLAs of all parties.
