this isn't that surprising, but one may note at this point that the ndp has been all but wiped out of the province.

i've been saying for years that canada is most stable in a four-party system configuration, and the rise of a party to the right of the conservatives is consequently really not a strange thing to see - we've usually had one. but, at least in the east, it seems like the greens are the new left.

one wonders if that pattern asserts itself elsewhere.

and it very well might.
