38th Provincial Election - May 17, 2005 - NDP (Langley) - Liberal 52%
39th Federal Election - January 23, 2006 - NDP (

Let's see how you did :)

Another Liberal minority government
<-- Not quite, but a fair enough prediction based on polls at the time (as your entry on the 14th suggests)

I think it is very important for the NDP to increase their share of seats this time around.
<-- from 19 to 29.

Here in BC, I would say Vancouver-Centre, Vancouver-Kingsway, Victoria and perhaps even West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast are reasonably likely to switch if the NDP can run a decent campaign.
<-- First two firmed Liberal, third switched, fourth switched to Liberal. Several other quite unexpected seats switched.

I doubt BQ will be as big this time around in Québec.
<-- Correct - 58 down to 51.

I think people talking about the Liberals losing serious numbers of Toronto seats are deluded.
<-- Correct - I understand you meant in context "...to the Conservatives", and they didn't lose one. They lost three to the NDP.

Not bad!
