With the PLQ being reduced to Montreal-Laval (they won one seat at the outSkirt, one further away), PQ moribund and PCQ and QS too outsiderish a long rule of CAQ is now not impossible. The return of the Union certainly looks like it's happening at the moment... |

Or, also possible, the party splits between its nationalist and federalist wings after Legault retires and the new leader isn't as skilled as Legault to keep both wings happy.

Why aren’t the NDP standing in these Quebec elections? They used to have some strength in Quebec.

The Liberals have long been the exception and the Tories standing are a relatively recent phenomenon Neither party is affiliated with the national party of the same name. One of the longest serving PLQ leaders was Jean Charest, who used to lead the federal PCs (and was, famously, one of their two survivors in the 1993 meltdown) and recently unsuccessfully ran for leadership of the CPC. Former NDP leader Thomas Mulcair was previously a PLQ politician (in Charest's cabinet!). |

Why aren’t the NDP standing in these Quebec elections? They used to have some strength in Quebec. As has been observed, neither do the Liberals or Conservatives (neither provincial party of the same name is actually affiliated with them). After their 2011 federal breakthrough, the NDP did discuss launching a provincial affiliate but they evidently changed their mind. Some activists still went ahead and launched a New Democratic Party of Quebec, but that only got 0.57% in 2018. The fact is a lot of the space a provincial NDP might occupy is already well and truly locked down by Québec solidaire. |

In British Columbia local elections took place yesterDay.
In Vancouver the inCumbent, who is de facto close to the NDP, received the expected 30% - but his opPonent rose to over 50% (what had only by Leger been predicted). Due to too many problems in the per se left city.
In Surrey a BC-Liberal defeated narrowliest (0.8%) the unpopular mayor (a former CPC-candidate, so not ideologically incredibly different).
Generally, quite many inCumbents lost.

This may be an affectation of yours but it makes your often idiosyncratic posts even more comical than they already are. English is a language that voraciously devours multiple languages words and warps them to our grammatical constructs, it being endlessly flexible and evolving. I hope that's helpful. |

Replace capital E in “Esteem” with lower case e. Insert full stop after “esteem”. Start new sentence with “If”. Insert “then” (and then the rest of the sentence) after “me”. Restore an absolute monarchy to avoid having to have discussions about democratic elections. |

It's very bad mannered of Khunanup to constantly pick on your diction as a non-native English speaker. The fact he doesn't engage in this form of bullying with other posters (for example's maxque's constant mangling of English ) shows that it is really just another form of partisan bitching |

It's just rather embarrassing, It’s absurd to call Georg a racist. He’s become a very good friend to me over the past several months and I most definitely don’t belong to the same race as him. You should maybe look up a dictionary the next time before commenting on others’ grasp of your native tongue. |

Concerning the local elections in Ontario i waited for hours, that an inSider might write anything, as this has not happened i will try my best, hopefully without causing another meltDown.
The summa summarum first: All 4 regional exLeaders were elected; in the 200.000-cities nearly no change happened, the inCumbents were reelected or their preferred crownPrinces.
Toronto: Tony Tory (exTory i.e. Cons.) won easily with over 60% - no surprise.
Ottawa: The favorite of the Liberal mayor prevailed on a midright platForm surprisingly clearly (51% vs. 38% for a progressive).
Mississauga: The Liberal mayor can continue.
Brampton: Brown - another exToryLeader - was reelected (60%) despite all scandals.
Hamilton: This city will see a sharp change: Instead of a Cons. it will be run by - Mrs.Horwath, until recently regional NDP-chief. She made it only narrowly, though.
London: Morgan is like his predecessor (center)right.
Markham: Liberal mayor Scarpitti reelected (60%).
Vaughan: Del Duca - the regional LiberalLeader few months ago - defended it for the Lib.s (but also rather closely).
Kitchener: Liberal inCumbent Vrbanovic reelected (80%).
Windsor: Dilkens, like the sitting mayor from the (center)right, got it (52.5% vs. 38.7% for a progressive).
In some councils a shift to the left seems to have taken place, though.
