The Liberals have managed to squeak through with a minority government. That was expected, but the shocker is the new official opposition: the ADQ, which knocked the Parti Québécois down to third place.

Party standings are 47-42-36 as I write, although there will probably be recounts after several close races, including the one for Jean Charest's seat in Sherbrooke.

I was going to link to the ADQ website but it seems to have been knocked over, no surprise there. Here's the Wikipedia page meantime. also a pretty good resumé of the campaign.

I don't have a link, but according to CBC TV commentary little has changed on the island of Montreal. It's in the rest of Quebec that the shift has occurred. Here's a list of elected candidates. There'll be more numbers and analysis tomorrow: let's just say the landscape has changed and it'll be awhile before we know how it will affect this city.
