Note that said NDP government in Ontario lost the election; a) because they were a bunch of doofusses, and b) that was not their only dumb move. Ontario had been blue for so long I think that was the only reason the NDP got in in the first place. BTW the colours are reversed in Canada, Red is liberal, Blue is conservative, NDP was green I think, damed if I can remember what colour Social Credit was - nut brown probably.
