There's a functional Green Party in Canada?   What's the difference between the Green Party and the NDP in terms of platform?

If the Liberals loose too many seats, and the conservatives gain enough (I guess a tie or near enough), will the NDP join the liberals to form a government?

The most likely outcome right know is a minority Liberal government... exactly who with depends on how badly the Liberals do...
Martin would prefer to deal with the NDP (although he'd prefer a majority), but if the Liberals get really mauled... he might have to cut a deal with the BQ...
In which case a leadership challenge by a disgrunted Chretienist will be all but certain.

Does the largest single party always get to form a minority government?  What if the PC was the largest party, but smaller than Lib+NDP (or Lib+BQ).  Could the Liberals still form a coalition?

New SES/CPAC tracking poll:
Lib 36, Con 25, NDP 22

What does party status mean?  I remember a couple years ago the NDP had like 5 seats, and the PC had 2, and they were called "parties" and included in the debates and such.

What about the Bloc and Green? 15% Block 2% Green? Do you guys think that the Greens will win any seats at all this election, if so will they get the required seats for party status (3 I think) in your opinion?

BQ 13, Green 5

12 seats are needed for party status... no way in hell the greenies get close to that... they *do* have a chance to win Saanich-Gulf Islands in BC though. But only because it's a *four way* race...

I think that 22% for the Dipper's may be their highest number in a respected poll for over 10 years.

What is exactly is the BQ's positions on the issues that aren't Quebec-specific?   They are left-wing?

What time do the polls close?....it terms of Eastern Time, the non-offset time used on this forum.  

Do returns roll in from East to West like they do in the US?
