On November 28, 2005, the House of Commons passed the no-confidence motion by a vote of 171 to 133, and the government was forced to call an early general election - held in January 2006 - in which the Liberals lost to the Conservatives.

He ran as a Tory in the riding of Grey in the Ontario general election of 1987, in which the Liberals under David Peterson won a landslide majority; Murdoch was defeated Liberal Ron Lipsett by about 2000 votes.
He is also known as one of the most socially conservative members of the Ontario assembly, and one occasion threatened to block unanimous consent from being given for a same-sex benefits bill brought forward by the Harris government.
Immediately after the election, he shocked many of his colleagues by openly musing about sitting with the social democratic NDP -- not for ideological reasons, but to ensure that the party received official status in the legislature (thereby maintaining the province's three-party system).

 CBC - Ontario Votes 2003 - Parties - Dalton McGuinty
Seeking to distance himself from the increasingly unpopular policies of the Harris years, Eves pushed his Tories away from their tough-love policies of the past with social spending and policy reversals that seemed lifted from the Liberal playbook.
The Liberals, who'd been in a race for the centre against an incumbent government, were suddenly alone in the vote-rich middle of the political spectrum.
Despite a disastrous performance in a TV debate, McGuinty is generally credited with improving the Liberals' share of popular vote (to 40 per cent) and seats in Legislature (up five to 35).

 babble: Any bets on a Fall election date in Ontario?
Interestingly that was also an election where the Liberals started out way ahead under Bob Nixon and then the NDP gained a ton of ground in the campaign and ended up producing a result that was almost a three way split - not that i expect that part to be repeated.
Anyway, if there were a federal and provincial election next spring it would be far closer in dates than the 1963 elections were and my other points regarding overlapping campaigns and the advantage to the Liberals still stands.
The 1984 federal election was in early September as were the 1987 and 1990 Ontario elections.

It is run by Liberals, but in general they base their predictions on the submissions of participants, and there are people from all the parties who submit comments.
Their successful prediction rate was lower than usual last two elections they did (Quebec and New Brunswick) but that's because the number of comments was quite low for some ridings.
Since the regulars to the site are primarily Ontario based, I bet they will be very accurate in their predictions, beating their 1999 results of 85%.
