[4] Liberals won 19 seats in and around the Island of Montreal, but their gains from the Progressive Conservatives were minimal, with 8 exceptions; Bonaventure—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Laval West, Outremont, Pierrefonds—Dollard, Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, Saint-Maurice, Vaudreuil and Verdun—Saint-Paul.
Progressive Conservative Minister of Industry Jean Charest held his seat of Sherbrooke, being the only MP from his party to survive the BQ surge.
Former PC MP Gilles Bernier held Beauce as an Independent on a narrow majority against the insurgent BQ.
The results were attributed to the vote splitting between the PCs and Reform which allowed the Liberals to be victorious in many of the marginal ridings in rural Southern Ontario.
The NDP performed particularly poorly in Ontario due to the unpopularity of Premier Bob Rae losing all of their seats to the Liberals.
The Liberals won 5 seats in British Columbia and 4 in Alberta, pale in comparison to their domination of Eastern Canada.
