i predict all the seats in b.c. (and thus the island) are irrelevant and the election will, once again, be over long before the polls close in victoria
as always, everything the liberal government does is about ontario and quebec, and to a lesser extent the maritimes...that's where the seats are up for grabs , 66% of seats are east of manitoba
they clearly have written off b.c as wacky ndp OR solid con seats, and never have a chance in alberta
their focus is entirely on taking back seats lost to the ndp in quebec and picking up seats in ontario suburbs
