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.
