Just to tie these two points together- talking to people in Manitoba it would appear that a lot of people are angry at the Liberals/NDP over this whole matter. Manitoba is an oddity in that they tend to vote either NDP or PC- and the Liberals sometimes get in as the 3rd party up the middle. This might strengthen Manitoba and perhaps NW Ontario.
I can't see the CPC losing too much of English Montreal, so with Manitoba making up what is lost in PQ, it may be a wash.
And I have to think that some of those close ridings in Ontario would swing CPC after all of this.
