The Liberal Party of Quebec won yesterday's election with final results creeping in around 11:30 p.m. This was late enough for some Canadian papers to have a Dewey-Truman moment, with the Globe and Mail announcing incorrectly that Liberal leader Jean Charest had lost his seat.
In the end, and before any recounts, the federalist Liberals beat the right wing ADQ winning 48 seats to 41 for the ADQ. The secessionist Parti Quebecois was relegated to 36 seats, its poorest showing in over 30 years.
At least we won't have to worry about another referendum on separation for awhile.
