The Parties & their Leaders

Conservative Party
Stephen Harper - Favored to win. Strong Presence in the West (Prairies and BC). Bush-lite. Basically, if the Conservatives make inroads in Ontario they will have a shot at a majority.

Liberal Party
Stephane Dion - Party of Pierre Trudeau. Favored to be the opposition party. Dion lacks the communicative skills of previous French Canadian Liberal leaders.

New Democratic Party
Jack Layton - Solid communicator heading a party that is spread too thin nationally...resulting in less seats than the popular vote suggests.

Green Party
Elizabeth May - I believe no Green MP has ever been elected.

Bloc Quebecois
Gille Duceppe - Federal party committed to the protection of Quebec and its sovereignty. Power is overrepresented because all of their vote is concentrated in Quebec. They got 10.5% of the national vote in 2006 as compared to 17.5% for the NDP yet the Bloc won 51 seats as compared to 29 for the NDP"...
