NDP only at 24% in Quebec? I think this may be an outlier.

And for the Cons to be "within majority government territory" would be like Wildrose being likewise with similar polling figures in Alberta recently, or the ONDP set to actually lost seats back when things were looking genuinely three-way prior to the last provincial elections. That's what you get when a bunch of airheaded dorks try to project seat numbers by crudely using past results as a base...

The biggest change is in Ontario, where the NDP are now significantly ahead in the polls. Gamechanger?
Is this right btw? The Green Party has 23% support in Saskatchewan?

Small sample size.

So, how long would an NDP minority government last? Two years?

That is too far in the future for me to provide a prediction. Would any remaining Liberal voters strategically vote for NDP in a subsequent election to prevent a Conservative resurgence? Would the Conservatives be too weak while rebuilding to pose that kind of threat?
Hell for all we know, the Conservative Party may split after Harper leaves.

If Harper does indeed win re-election, but with a rather small minority, the party won't be very happy. Some people think that he could step down as a result.

The Conservatives are so busy going after Trudeau and the Liberals, they are ignoring the NDP passing both of them.

Liberals are announcing major election/government reforms tomorrow. Interested in hearing what they will be putting on the table. Trudeau's teaser talks about changing the way we vote, and the way politicians make decisions. "Government will no longer be the PM's rubber stamp".

I also like the default open government. Eliminates the need to file freedom of information requests for many things. FOI requests would also only cost $5, to be refunded if the request takes too long to process.
Too little too late though?
To answer WislaHD's question... I (a Liberal) would vote NDP to prevent the PC's from winning the next election. There is nothing in the NDP platform that I feel would take Canada backwards.

Trudeau wants to go to a ranked ballot or STV system that would benefit the Liberals disproportionately doesn't he?
I think at the provincial and federal level, a PR system like the NDP wants is more democratic.

I am in the same boat Tuscani, a Liberal who has no problems voting for the NDP and probably will vote NDP this election.
