The polling numbers depend on the polling firm. Check out the latest provincial numbers - this time from Decima.
Liberals: 41%
Progressive Conservatives: 33%
New Democrats: 13%
Greens: 11%
Remember my 10% rule for the Greens? Yeah, can't trust this poll. That being said, and as I've said long before this election even started, Liberal majority.

This is actually encouraging because if the numbers weren’t so attractive for the Liberals, I could see Kinsella splicing together a few stock scenes from those Pakistani madrassas - THIS IS WHAT JOHN TORY HAS IN MIND FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
Seriously though, is there anybody who doubts for a second that the moment full funding for faith-based schools is brought to bear we’ll have seen the last of the hindu and muslim kids from the secular public schools?
I think these numbers are encouraging for Tory in the sense that they’re probably going downhill from here.

Well, I was one of those ‘Hindu’ kids, and I did decamp for a religious school, I suppose — an Anglican one.
Tory’s right in principle, wrong politically. Not unlike Kim Campbell’s 1993 campaign.

I was about to die of shock…but then I realized that this was a provincial poll!

It’s actually shocking to think a liar and a thief can win a majority government.

Raphael - not shocking if his opponent has incredibly bad political judgement.
