    Also a gain for the far left

    What the article does not mention is that the New Democratic Party (NDP), a party further to the left of the Liberals did manage to pick up 10 newe seats in the Parliament. So, I believe the article is misleading us into the assumption that all Liberal voters up and went for the Conservatives. No. Many of us up and went even further left for the NDP.
