Can anybody give me the number of Seats the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, Bloc, Indepemdents and Independent Progressive Conservatives have?

LPC                 172
Conservative   66  
Progressive    12  
Bloc Québécois 38  
NDP                 13  


These numbers are the results of the last 2000 federal election.  Many things happened afterwards (e.g., defections, partial elections, merger or the right).  Here's the current party standings in the House of Commons.

PARLIAMENT OF CANADA - PARTY STANDING IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

Liberal Party (LPC) Sad 169
Conservative Party (CPC) Sad 73
Bloc québécois (BQ) Sad 33
New Democratic Party (NDP) Sad 14
Independent Sad 9
Vacant Sad 3

TOTAL : 301

Seats in play in 2004 : 308 (3 seats added in Ontario, 2 in BC and 2 in Alberta)

I know that 100/105 seats in Ontario were Liberal at the last election-that seems rather unfair to me; the whim of Ontariens basically controls the whole country.
If the 308 seats were fairly distributed (rep by pop).  Ontario would have around 120-125 seats.

why is ontario sent have many liberals  

You mean why Liberals have got over 99% of the seats since the last three elections right ? Smiley

The general thesis was about the division of the right.  Since 93, The Conservative and Reform parties struggled to get the conservative-leaning vote.  However none succeed at nipping each other.  In every election, they got almost the same percentage of votes and prevented the election of candidates other than Liberal.

Now the Liberal hegemony over Ontario might come to an end in the next election, a the two parties merged into the Conservative Party of Canada.
