Canadian Politics Shocker: Per Ottawa folks on Twitter: a poll is about to be released showing the NDP ahead of the Liberals for second place.

That's a huge pyschological barrier being lifted for NDP voters. The Easter weekend could see a huge seachange occur on the Canadian political left.

(This might be the first time the NDP have ever polled ahead of the Liberals nationally, but I don't know about 80's John Turner/Ed Broadbent type polls at that time.)

Responses:

If the poll gets any play at all, I can see a mass shift of voters from the Libs to the NDP, creating momentum. - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 13:28 1
- This actually strenghtens, not hurt Tory majority chances. The NDP may gain a few at Tory expence, but it also puts newly split vote seats into play. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 13:31
