The Provinces

What with the provincial election in New Brunswick, I thought it would be interesting to look at the current provincial scene.

The Liberals form government in 4 provinces:
British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island

The Conservatives (or one of their aliases) form government in 4:
Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador

The NDP form government in 2:
Manitoba, Nova Scotia

Five provinces are going to the polls next year:
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador.

According to the polls, after these elections, Ontario and Manitoba will fall to the Conservatives.

That brings the government count to 6 Conservative, 3 Liberal, and 1 NDP.

However, also according to the polls, the Liberals are behind the NDP in British Columbia and the PQ in Quebec. According to public opinion, then, the provinces stand at 6 Conservative, 3 NDP, and 1 Liberal - which is, incidentally, the province with the least population.

The provincial Liberals - relevance is SO overrated.
