The Liberals are one riding short of a Majority. They lost one riding by 9 seats. That riding is home to a military base and their candidate is a military man. Once the absentee votes are counted there is a good chance the Liberals will have a technical majority. That would decrease the Greens bargaining power dramatically. The Liberals could then extend Weaver an olive branch by appointing him as a Cabinet Minister without capitulating to specific onerous demands.
