In Ontario, the Conservatives (41%) maintain a comfortable lead over the Liberals (27%), who are being challenged by the NDP (22%) who are not very far behind. The Green Party sits at 6% support.
In British Columbia, the Conservatives (46%) still have a healthy lead over the surging NDP (32%), but the Liberals (12%) are struggling to maintain levels of support higher than that of the Green Party (9%).

I feel that with the Liberals doing so poorly, this is the opportunity for Ontario to show their power with their 100+ seats and vote for a Conservative majority. Stablize the country and bring Canada's concentration in the next mandate into the biggest province as Harper will cater to Ontario and the majority of his new cabinet would then be Ontarians.
Ontario voting all over the place would bring uncertainty with another minority government, possible coalition, Quebec separatists talks, Western alienation... all not good for Ontario.
Ontario still has the might, they need to start flexing it. Start being a have province again.
