Electoral reform was not foremost in ANYBODY'S mind and the Conservatives positively dreaded the idea! You are right that we had to get rid of Harper and the Conservatives, however, and even though I'm a Liberal, I would have voted NDP if I thought the local candidate had a chance and if Mulcair hadn't made a mockery of its campaign by promising to balance the budget without raising taxes even as he introduced at least one major new social program.
