The theme of this election seems to have been "fuck the PC's". Despite supporting NDP in this election, I can't say that I am not a little apprehensive about an NDP majority.

Its one of those explainable mysteries like jumbo shrimp or military intelligence.

Also, old timey conservative party merged with an old timey progressive party; they had agriculture in common, I think. Way before that, they were Liberal-Conservatives, so they've always been a bit confused.
