24 hours. I'm obviously voting Tory, though not without trepidation.

This was a roller-coaster campaign. For the first half Mulroney was coasting to another landslide and the Liberals dropped back to a distant third (at one point internals had them at 8! seats), culminating in an attempt to overthrow Turner and replace him with Chretien mid-campaign which was broken by the CBC. Then the English debate, where the Liberals jumped ahead, and finally the Tory counteroffensive which secured them another comfortable majority. But basically a referendum on free trade. One result which flew completely under the radar: Reform winning 15% in Alberta. A clear harbinger of things to come, in retrospect.

PC, although had I lived in the west I would have voted Reform. The PC's were a shameful excuse for a right-wing party.

Look up the Ontario provincial election and take a peak at NDP's policy positions. They were god-awful.

NDP. Ed Broadbent, in my opinion, would've been highly superior to either Mulroney or Turner if he'd been PM.

Voted PC. My old man voted CHP though, so I suspect that's how I would've voted if I had the chance.

Tory solely on basis of the free trade issue.
