2. Horwath screwed the pooch, and Hudak was too wrong to win

Liberals and NDP made advances over the Tories' losses in this election. Good for them.

Horwath really could have made much bigger advances if she hadn't triggered the election when she did, especially on a budget that was much more catered to NDP planks than it needed to be.

It does look like Ontario's sick of dirty attack ads and fuzzy math from Hudak, though.

Is it time for a big swing left? Dare we hope that the Toronto municipal election with go a similar way? Dare we dream that Harper's cons will be decimated in the next federal election? Will it come soon enough to save us?
