She moved to a much more competitive riding in BC, so yes, a very good chance.
Though the Greens here aren't your normal Greens.
What are "normal" Greens and what are the Green Party of Canada?

The only thing I ask NDP voters is to consider voting Liberal if 1: NDP will come in third in the riding and 2: Liberals have a chance to win it. I'd also ask Liberal voters to vote NDP if the reverse is true.
I know the Liberals aren't that much better than the torries, but they are better. I've only seen 2 elections here, but I'm tired of watching the vote splitting in the face of the "unite the right" success.
Simple as ABCs: Anyone But Conservatives.
Yeah you are right, NDP are most likely to be 3rd and in all honesty Ignatieff does look like a better alternative. So practicality over ideology.
I wonder what are the chances of a another coalition between the Liberals and NDP? I know the last attempt was failure because Dion lack leadership skills and really did not put up any real fight. But if it is possible, how successful it would be running the country?
I don't know what I'll do...
The Conservatives have done some stuff that I really like, and other stuff that I really don't like.
I'll probably just end up voting for the local candidate who annoys me the least
I don't see how the Torries don't walk away with another plurality -- third straight -- unless the NDP and Liberals have figured out how to stop vote splitting and further.
If I could vote, I'd enthusiastically line up behind Ignatieff. I like him.

It's not that they specifically oppose those things, but if they had to roll back welfare or oppose labour to get green legislation passed, yes they'd do that. Their taxation plan is to the right of the Liberals (it's rather regressive).

Not that it will make a frakking difference of course; riding will go at least 60% Tory. Thank the gods for Albertans and FPTP.
