There are probably more of them then we will ever know. It's just that center-left politics is hard to get 'excited' about, hence the lack of lawn signs.

Certainly the politics of the NDP, Greens and Conservatives attract a lot more people of an ideological bent; who I’m guessing would be more inclined to publicly display their support.

As I write this, I'm reminded of the last election in Kildonan-St.Paul when Terry Duguid went toe-to-toe with Joy Smith, and all this when there was hardly a Liberal lawn sign to be seen.
