Consider NDP even though the recommendation is Liberal

Unfortunately, the method of displaying poll results on this site may be giving false suggestion that the NDP candidate is well back in third place: the reason being is that it uses data from 2006, when the NDP had a different and weaker candidate and when the % support for the NDP was much lower. Nao Fernando is a popular candidate and is most likely ahead of Brenda Locke (Liberal) in many polling areas, if not neck and neck. Brenda is a weak candidate and voting her in, notwithstanding your desire to oust Nina Grewal, will result in this riding having weak representation (especially while the Liberals go through another leadership election). That's not going to help the environment. This election is going to result in a Conservative minority government, and having Nao Fernando as the MP is much better for this riding...no need to fear a Harper majority. Talk to your friends, research, and if you agree that Nao has a much chance of winning as Brenda, and is a better candidate, vote NDP.
