After this election there won't be a single government in Canada led by a party with "Conservative" in its name. SK, Yukon, and BC will still have centre-right governments.

When is the Yukon election, btw?

Not sure what thread would be most appropriate for this, but here are my predictions for the results of the next provincial election in each province (and Yukon):

Newfoundland: Liberal majority
Pretty obvious

Yukon: NDP majority
I'd consider this a tossup, but Yukon having one of the few positive NDP swings federally, along with sharp Conservative drops in native-heavy areas thanks to turnout gives me some hope. The Liberals seem to be out of contention in Territorial elections here.

Saskatchewan: Saskatchewan party majority
Safe as long as Wall is leader. They'd still win if Wall rethinks entering the CPC nomination race, although it would become competitive.

Manitoba: Liberal majority
I think the NDP will collapse, letting the Liberals win with Winnipeg. The election would look a lot like an Ontario election, with NDP in the north and a few urban ridings, most urban areas going Liberal and the rural south going PC. Despite the current PC lead, having a single big city greatly helps the centre-left in Manitoba as compared to Sask in terms of vote efficiency, not to mention Pallister is also quite unappealing himself.

BC: NDP majority
I think the polls underestimating the Liberals in 2013 were a one-off event. It didn't show up in 2009, and the CPC underperformed in 2015. Clark also has become more unpopular.

Nova Scotia: Liberal majority
The honeymoon still hasn't ended.

Quebec: Liberal majority
The PQ is still at historically weak levels, leaving the opposition and francophone vote divided among PQ, CAQ, and QS, which should let PLQ win again.

Ontario: Liberal minority
Hoping the #Wynner gets crushed, but Ontario rarely throws out a government if none of the opposition parties can prove themselves.

New Brunswick: PC majority
This is one that I think is too far to predict reliably, but Gallant's popularity seems to be low enough to sink him.

Prince Edward Island: Liberal majority
I'm just guessing here.

Alberta: NDP majority
Despite tough times, this poll suggests the NDP are recovering: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/albertans+give+budget+thumbs+down+according+poll/11486319/story.html?hootPostID=8151c5c9d174d8701e30691ed94a8b7a
But even with a better economy and an incumbent boost it won't be much better than a tossup.
However, if PC and Wildrose merge the merged party will be safe to win.

I'm expecting at least one election result that would have looked ridiculous before the campaign starts in the next 4 years, so I figured it might as well be Manitoba.

308 thinks there's no possibility of a liberal sweep, even if the Liberals reach their "max" of 83%: http://www.threehundredeight.com/2015/11/four-quebec-by-elections-mid-term-test.html#comment-form

I doubt the NDP can win as many seats as their projection, though. 308 and similar models seem to consistently undershoot the vote efficiency of parties which are experiencing large positive swings, like the Alberta NDP or the federal Liberals.

The public usually hates the Liberals in between elections.
That was true in 2013 but not 2009. The NDP didn't lead in a single poll in 2009 but still came within a few points of the Liberals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia_general_election,_2009#Opinion_polls

It should be noted that this is NDP leader McCurdy's district. McCurdy trailing isn't that much of a surprise, though. In fact 308 has him trailing by even more than what this poll shows based on a proportional swing.
