Even though the Federal and Provincial wings of some Parties in several Provinces diverge significantly on policy and in the issues they face, the extent to which voters in a Province support or oppose a Party Provincially can have a major spillover effect in a Federal General Election.

Currently, this is a matter that should concern the Federal Liberals and boost the spirits of the Federal Conservatives And NDP in Ontario.  Given the number of Seats at stake in Ontario, this could have a major impact on the outcome during the next Federal General Election.
