The official results of the 2007 Ontario General Election now show that the Ontario Liberal Party has been re-elected. The Liberal Party lead by Dalton McGuinty will spend the next 4 years in a majority government. Asking hypothetically "Is [Tory] a little too progressive for the Conservatives?", Liberal Gerard Kennedy on CTV echoed the thoughts of many media outlets, who feel the faith-based school funding was the key blow to Tory's campaign. Tory called McGuinty to concede at 10:30 pm. McGuinty was first to make a televised speech, despite the general practice of winners speaking last. Results trickled in for most of the early evening, due to the clog of visitors to its public website. At 9:49 pm ET last night, CTV told viewers that they were only receiving result updates every 10 seconds at top speed, compared to a test run of 10 results per second. They speculated at the time that the computers' new software was to blame. The media outlets were still calling victories early in the evening, with one station unironically declaring a candidate with 7 votes (compared to two others with 3 apiece) as "well up in front". Wikinews has a full selection of in-depth interviews with 53 candidates; see Ontario Votes 2007. You may view other articles about Canada and Ontario at Wikinews' Canada Portal.  Throughout the night, many outlets stated the opinion that the referendum was poorly promoted. Even Toronto's Mayor David Miller, appearing on TVO at 9:56 pm , called the proposed process "MPMP". Some outlets, like the Owen Sound Sun Times called the referendum process "set up to fail".
