   The election won't be settled for another ten days, until the absentee   
   ballots are counted.  A few of the ridings were seriously close.  So if   
   the Liberals hold on to the 43 seats they have now, and pick up the   
   Courtenay-Comox seat, which was lost by just 7 votes, they will have a   
   majority.  A lot of those absentee ballots will come from CFB Comox, and   
   them military types tend to lean BC Liberal, so it's a real possibility   
   that Crusty could still land a majority.   
      
   Otherwise, we'll be having another election in about 18 months or so   
   because provincial minority governments in Canada tend to implode by then.
