Just to update, it's election night, and it'll be a PQ government; right now they're looking at around 58 seats, about five short of a majority. Their overall support is lower than most of the polls were leaning, below 33%. Still going to be a solid government, but they won't be able to raise the sovereignty question with a low popular vote and no majority.

edit: Liberals are significantly beating the projections for them, probably finishing around 45 seats. But still a big blow for them from the last assembly standing. Interesting to see what happens for Charest.
