In other words, just another down-to-the-wire provincial election made unpredictable by interlopers to an old two-party system. While the cast of characters may be different, Quebec's election has much in common with recent contests in New Brunswick and British Columbia. A similar surge by the Greens in last year's election in British Columbia also resulted in a minority government, the province's first since 1952.
