Byelections -- no change

More or less as expected there was no change in seat count as a result of the byelections.

Former Ottawa mayor Bob Chiarelli won the Ottawa West-Nepean riding for the Liberals on Thursday, while former Brockville mayor Steve Clark won Leeds-Grenville for the Conservatives.

That said, the margin for Bob Chiarelli was fairly tight and that may suggest something.

On the other hand, in spite of the economy and distaste for the HST the PC's have not been able to do anything except hold on to seats they already held. I still say they picked the wrong Leader (not that I am complaining ... but seriously, Christine Elliott MPP would be a much stronger contender).
