Gee imagine that.
It's kinda hard to gain ground when a party has almost the whole province as it is. They can gain 2 seats in Alberta, 1 seat in Saskatchewan, 7 in Manitoba. Even if they swept all those, it's only 10 seats. Good luck having that gain be more than the 20ish seats they got in Ontario.

What I was showing, was a comparative swing. Ontario went through a horrible experience, in its 8 years of Provincial Tory rule, yet it actually saw a huge improvement for the Conservatives.
The problem for the Conservatives isn't Ontario, where it is finding new found support, it is Quebec, NB, NFLD, NS, PEI, and the North. The Conservatives took 7 measely seats out of a possible 110. Make any kind of inroads in the East, and the Liberals wouldn't be in power.
