Are things changing in Canada?

The federal election is in October, but the Conservatives who've been in power for about 10 years are struggling (although they never have been that popular - Canada's also first-past-the-post so...). The NDP (the most left of the three major federal parties) is in a tight race and occasionally polling in first. But right now it's a three way race with each party (two left, on right) around 30%. It is not inconceivable that the NDP will win a majority. This was pretty much near unthinkable 10+ years ago, although not as unthinkable as the NDP winning a majority in Alberta - that would be like the Tories winning Scotland. Except good.
