Bye bye PC.
Looks like WR has the least effect. Few union or corporate donations for them I suppose. But it will hurt them in the future, since the PC corporate funding would have made WR it's new home if not for this change.

Having disproportionate representation is the one reason I'd be in favour of splitting Ontario into multiple provinces. Once the provinces of Southwestern Ontario, Greater Toronto, Eastern Ontario, Northern Ontario, and Central Ontario rise from the ashes we'll finally get the representation we (in SWON) deserve but don't get because the GTA has too many people.

Wildrose always leads in polls well before an election. I'm not getting worried about Notley. At least until the Foothills by-election.

Forum poll says NDP continues to lead in Ontario provincially. No leader is popular, although Horwath's approvals are decent. Forum says the NDP would take a plurality of seats, unlike the last poll where PCs lead in seats despite trailing in the popular vote.
