Now I'm curious on why you're so upset about something that has a 19% chance of happening actually happened. (I really hope you didn't lose money/face/etc over this.)

"The Conservatives had no room to overcome the Liberal lea[d] in Ontario" This is factually true. LPC got 49.6%/69 seats vs CPC got 44.3%/53 seats. LPC still got more votes and seats at the end. Why they were off by a dozen seats or so should be studied by the pollsters in the near future, and why just in Ontario?

You know Eric and Philippe are poll aggregators, not fortune tellers, right? They don't do the polls themselves. They interpret the polls and give a projection on how the result may be. They can't see a set of numbers and then tell a completely different story. You're pretty much shooting the messenger here.
