TORONTO - Paul Martin's Liberals have survived a near-death experience to win a minority government – Canada's first in 25 years.

The CBC decision desk predicted a Liberal minority victory at 10:22 p.m. EDT.

A Liberal minority government means nothing about the country's immediate political future is certain except the prospect of more uncertainty.

Once the Liberals gets over the joy of being still in power, their first job will be to figure out how to work with a partner after years of flying solo.
