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.

Are the NDP taking a large amount of heat over this? I can see the Liberals getting roasted, and not that I think the NDP are guilt free, but an NDP supporter would be more excited to be in a more powerful role for once, I would think.
And the BQ may not gain English Montreal, but in "non-separatist" ridings I can see it being the choice of a strong candidate as opposed to a specific political party.
