There are so many issues with Teddy's map, I don't know where to start.

Vaudreuil-Soulanges voting Tory?
Saskatoon-Humboldt voting NDP before Rosetown-Biggar?
The Liberals picking up Churchill River?

The first is an error, the second two are correct on the math

Hmmm?

Saskatoon-Humboldt, 2008: CON: 53.8; NDP: 27.8
Saskatoon-Rosetown, 2008: CON: 45.4; NDP: 44.5

I fail to see how "the math" would have Humboldt fall first.

Same for Desnethe. 2008: CON: 46.7; LIB: 30.3

Are you really predicting a big swing from the Conservatives to the Liberals?

Pankiw's been an idiot for quite a while, and people still vote for him.

None of these ridings had a chance of going NDP even if the NDP was sitting on 40 seats.

These projections, especially ones from Grénier, basically get destroyed in the current post (linked earlier in this thread I believe) from Alice Funke at the Pundits Guide, who is a way better and more numerate commentator.

It was a few pages back, so in case anyone missed it: http://www.punditsguide.ca/2011/04/rubber-hits-the-road-for-parties-and-seat-projectors/
And, in case anyone missed it, one of the only ones with experience is... ME! http://www.ridingbyriding.ca/

"peak" means the top. The NDP has room to grow.

Wait, I know it's not a federal question, but how can BC have a premier that's not even an MPP? That's possible?
There is no law requiring anyone from the government to be an MP/MLA. Only tradition. And tradition has, time and time again, allowed for Premiers and PM's to be such, so long as they run for an open seat at a reasonably soon opportunity.

In all seriousness, we are looking at between 25, and 50 NDP seats in Quebec.

Next up on Sun News: Is Layton really born in Montreal? Where is his birth certificate? Stay tuned.
Maybe he wasn't born in Canada at all! That would mean he can't be Prime Min... oh wait, yea that's right, our country is not silly like that Cheesy

More as a note of mild interest than owt significant, but Election Prediction Project has finally bowed to the polls (somewhat) and festooned its Quebec page with lightening bolts.
Happened the day after I took a pot shot at them from my website.

NDP has used green in Ontario and PEI, and Purple in Alberta. Mostly in the 90's.

May Day here is more associated with Soviet Tanks. Labour day is in September.

Decima, Ipsos, Angus Reid, Environics. They all may, or may not, come out with last minute polls.

Elections Canada plans for 100% turnout every election, hence the lack of long lines.

1993

2011 is just following up on 2004

2004 was just a mid-way point between 2011 and 1993.

But 1993 was just a response to the failure after 1984.

And 1984 was a response to the signing of the Constitution without Quebec's name on it.

Looks like Mulcair has stolen Vegas' spotlight by making a fool of himself, implying that Obama is lying when he says he has Bin Laden photos.
