I think you're right--the math is strongly indicative of another Conservative minority, unless the top line numbers conceal massive Liberal strength in Ontario (which I don't know anything about, but sort of doubt). The other possibility is a slim Liberal minority, and it is really an open question whether Canadians (having just voted last fall) really feel like waging an election fight over such a tiny sliver of influence.
What effect will decreased voter turnout have? Weil, historically it increases the relative influence of highly motivated voter blocs, meaning that we may see BQ gains in Quebec.... but I don't know what else.
