Harper does what Harper wants, and simply has one of his toadies fall on their sword if it becomes an issue later.
Christian Heritage Party it is then.
I'm fairly certain the majority of Canadians feel that way too.

life long Liberal supporter here who voted NDP in the last two elections because they were they best chance at beating the Bloc locally in my riding, beating Gilles Duceppe himself.
in 2011, Gilles Duceppe was sent packing. Wooohooo, finally we can chose to vote betweeen, Left, Center or Right instead of Yes or NO
but Duceppe has returned and is trying to get his old riding back
I wanted to vote Liberal again out of principle but they are in 3rd place in my riding.
Alas, I will be voting NDP again to Block the Bloc and the save democracy from the farce the Bloc is
I want Justin Trudeau to become our next Prime Minister

Harper's proven that you don't need the media to be successful. It's unfortunate, and it's clearly to the detriment of our political discourse, but Mulcair has seen how well it works for Harper and he's copying it.
I may have a bit of a Liberal bias, but Trudeau is pretty photogenic. Even in his craziest pictures -- for example, from his boxing match, after he'd beaten up Brazeau -- he's still ridiculously good looking.
Assuming he isn't run out of the position, he can come back and try again in 4-5 years (or fewer if a minority is formed)

That's close to what I got too.
Funny that I align so closely with quite a few parties. They really aren't far apart ideologically.
The Bloc is so useless. :/
It's the hair, it's quite nice.

the biggest problem is that they have the potential to subract NDP and Liberal seat counts that in the end enables the Conservatives.
The Conservative support in Quebec is not threatened by the Bloc, while NDP and Liberal seats are threatened by the Bloc. (like my riding where Duceppe makes his return)
in the end, the Bloc is a Conservative enabler.

I'm likely to vote on the NDP.
That said, I have a hilariously impossible wish that if the NDP wins, the Liberals could be the opposition.
Also, there was footage and pics a couple years back of Harper awkwardly trying to do an aboriginal dance with huge pom-poms. People should use that more often if they're able to find it.

Harper's gone beyond that. His success is largely from excluding the media. That way no one can use out-of-context soundbites against him, like "the economy will fix itself."*
Every single time he's made available for Q&A the questions must be submitted ahead of time so he has a bulletproof script to go by. Every single time any member of his party speaks on camera, in parliament or for an interviews, they robotically read from a script, often having nothing to do with the question.
This is one of the most embarrassing examples.

It's really frightening how that party works.
(*Trudeau said something like "If we do this, this, and this, the economy will fix itself", which is a valid statement. But the Conservatives chopped it for their spam-like radio ads, removing all context, to make it sound like he's a buffoon.)

this link above is a projection riding by riding from Too Close To call.
If you are voting Anti-Harper, look in your riding to see who has the best chance of winning.
there is a full riding list. This has not been updated since late July.
In my riding is going like this NDP 1st, Bloc 2nd, Liberals 3rd, Green 4th, Conservatives 5th. The Conservatives are not a threat in my riding but the Bloc is, so this skews my vote into chosing NDP over Liberals because I hate the Bloc
click on the link, track your riding and see who are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and by how much and go from there

76 live, 75 NDP, 28 cons
Lol

It's not normally that long, but Harper is up to fuckery as usual.
South Surrey/White Rock, which is apparently at 33% Liberal, 32% NDP, 28% Cons. Hurrah!
I will keep an eye going forward.
Vancouver Quadra really loves Joyce Murray, huh. Not surprising though, I think she's cool in my books.
Didn't Harper pull out of the leader's debates as well?
Wow, I knew GAF was a liberal site, but I never realized how liberal it was until I saw how pretty much nobody aligns with the Conservatives (which compared to Republicans...). I figured that the results in the US isidewith was so liberal because the US is quite right in general.
I might catch some flak for this, but some part of me wants to see Harper win again just for some laughs. When it comes time for election though, I'll just check my representative in my riding and vote for the conservative or liberal I like the best.

the younger population usually leans left vs an older population of right leaning (fiscal, security, personal freedom),
I'm still voting NDP...
Why do you want stricter immigration policies?

Amazing OP matthewwhatever.
I know one thing is certain for me, I'm either voting NDP or Liberal. I just can't stand the Conservatives anymore. They have made a mockery of us and Harper must go. So lets get this election underway

He'll only agree to attend the debates if they change them to a scripted format.
So in other words, not a debate.
Such bullshit.

Given I now live in the UK, I'd probably root for the NDP - loonie will drop a few percent against USD/GBP if those guys are elected.
Otherwise - will vote Harper and the Conservatives.

All we can do is vote.
I've said it before in a Canadian election post on NeoGAF but the pride of being Canadian is dwindling down over time with Harper at the helm. Canada needs to get back on track for being a leader on social issues instead of trying to be a mini-USA.

That's like wanting to see Rob Ford win again for laughs.
HORRABLE! xD Keep dreaming in your head where it's safer for the rest of Canada lol.
As for me:
Seems legit! Conservatives bottom of the barrel..
