Considering how often I've flipped between Liberal and NDP in the past, I'd suppose every election in New Canadaland would be a close race between the two. The NDP would have to move to the left for there to be meaningful debates; right now they are too close to each other. The sharpest differences between the two parties would be on nationalization (Lib: no, NDP: yes) and free trade (Lib: yes, NDP: no).
The Conservatives would be a minor party seen as extremist unless they become red tories in which case a Lib-PC coalition might become possible, the Greens would be stronger but still not competitive, and the Bloc would stay as is but less xenophobic.
In terms of policy, there would certainly be a carbon tax, legal and taxed marijuana, repeal of C-51 and C-24, no more military intervention in the Middle East, higher taxes on the wealthy, more infrastructure investment, public housing for the homeless, and a more generous child care program. Equal amount of immigration, but with more effort to integrate them. Also elections would use MPP with a 5% threshold (per province so the Bloc doesn't get screwed).
A typical election: Liberal 35% NDP 35% Conservative 10% Green 10% Bloc 5% Other 5%
With the Conservatives becoming PC's (Newfoundland style): NDP 35% Liberal 25% PC 25% Green 10% Bloc 5%
