I did something like this for the American Greens a few months back.

Create a pact with the Liberal Party, where I would withdraw Green candidates and endorse Liberal in Liberal/Conservative marginal constituencies, and in exchange, would ask the Liberals to withdraw from some Green friendly constituencies. Even if the Liberals refuse, I'd still do the former, since FPTP requires electoral pacts to work in a multi party system.

pay a bunch of random Canadian celebrities to hold up signs that say "What do you Green?" and post it on twitter with no other context whatsoever

No idea, since Canadian politics are different from here. Liberals seem less offensive there than anywhere else, although if they're close to our liberals, i'd create an electoral pact with NDP, but under no circumstances i would disband the Green Party but it is a fact that you're stronger together and the NDP seems open to many of those Green ideas.

If NDP refuses the electoral pact, i'd just run everywhere wherever possible without concessions or tactical moves.

If they accept, I would run wherever possible (with NDP-Green banner), regardless of which party it helps: liberals, conservatives or bloc quebecois. No tactical withdraws.
