Danny Williams re-elected in a landslide
As expected, Danny Williams was re-elected in Newfoundland & Labrador garnering almost 70% of the popular vote and all but 4 seats. While it is never good to lack opposition, I still believe Danny Williams deserved to be re-elected, although the size of the victory was probably a little too much.
During his time in office, the economy has turned around, the deficit was eliminated and finally the possibility of Newfoundland & Labrador becoming a have province is no longer a distant dream, but a distinct possibility in the near future. He did have a rocky relationship with the federal government, although seeing another former Progressive Conservative like myself go after Stephen Harper like he did is always good to see. I certainly share his views about Harper and I think a large number if not the majority of former Progressive Conservatives feel the same way. While normally we would expect the federal Tories to celebrate the victory of one of their provincial cousins, I don't think there will be too much happiness amongst federal Conservatives over this victory since Danny Williams has promised to campaign against them and considering how popular he is, I wouldn't be surprised if the federal Tories get the same thumping the provincial Liberals did.
Tomorrow we have our election here in Ontario, so I will comment as the results role in. My predictions are: Dalton McGuinty wins another majority with slightly fewer seats; John Tory wins a smaller share of the popular vote than Ernie Eves did in 2003 but more seats; Howard Hampton gains votes and seats; the Green party acts as a spoiler in many ridings, but wins no seats, and finally John Tory fails to win his own riding and is forced to resign as leader shortly after.

Casey proved himself in this election and even Liberals must admire the way the party stood up to the federal conservatives. But i didn't know that there were only 4 non-tory seats. That's extremely worrying, both in the general sense, and i'm sure, for the parties of NT e L
Certainly what Casey did was the right thing, although he has always struck me as a politician who put his constituents ahead of the party.
In terms of Newfoundland & Labrador, there may only be 4 non-Tory seats right now, but that will likely change after the next election, being probably seven, although in the bigger picture 7 seats really isn't a lot when it comes to the overall results. Still I oppose the idea of parties writing off provinces regardless of how many seats they hold as all national parties should be govern for all of Canada, not just some parts.
