We need proportional representation for this to work. The Conservatives are so ghoulish that people vote Liberal as a safety. If the left splits the vote, the Conservatives get a majority government with only 40% of the vote.

The moment people have a viable alternatives to liberals they will flock to them. The libs have been a neoliberal fascist enabling party for a long time.

I doubt it, personally, but even if you're right, Single Transferable Vote would be a much better system to allow people to vote for alternative parties with similar ideals instead of feeling compelled to vote strategically.

FPTP is one of the biggest problems in Canada, and it's upstream of just about every other issue of significance.
