Canadian federal election - 2015

The Liberals will finish third again

Say, I was looking at the map for the last election and I noticed something I thought was peculiar. The NDP won their best result ever - and yet they didn't manage to get any seats in Saskatchewan, the province where historically they have dominated? Even in that regional poll that Canadaland just posted, the NDP are level with their numbers in Atlantic Canada, a region with no real Dipper tradition. What's up with that?

a) The boundaries of ridings (mixed urban and rural seats) in Saskatchewan worked very much to the NDP's detriment

b) A lot of the NDP's original Sask base basically no longer exists and has been replaced by demographics much more friendly to the Conservatives (and increasingly so now). Plus the popularity of the current Saskatchewan premier.

Given the current nature of the Liberal Vote (especially as seen from polls) I suppose them propping up the Conservatives would be very unlikely (unless they are complete idiots).

Apparently Trudeau wants to abolish FPTP, is that getting any play there?

EDIT: If that is the actual result than the CPC are back to where REFFOOOOOOORM the Canadian Alliance under Stockwell Day were in 2000.

Gotta to love the fact that is the second Canadian scandal in recent times which involves a video which almost nobody has seen and is not available to the public. Was Baird in one of his drunken stupors, I wonder?
