The problem isnt that we aren't a swing province, it is that Ontario has 100 seats in the house while we have around 30.
I'm not sure if those numbers are accurate or not, but if so, Alberta has greater per capita representation than Ontario. That would give Ontario slightly more than three times as many seats as Alberta despite having about four times our population.

Anyway, all this incessent complaining about Ontario deciding every election grows tiring. Did anyone ever bother to think that (excluding Quebec) Ontario has more citizens than every other province and territory combined?
