The Greens are experincing a surge of popularity in BC right now, with 24% of the popular vote in this poll. BC is a political four-way tie in the polls right now, with the Conservativs at 28%, the NDP at 26%, The Greens at 24% and The Liberals at 20%, all within the margin of error for the sample size. This is pushing up its overall numbers nationally. However, the Greens are also up to 10% in Ontario and Quebec. In Quebec, they are in a statistical tie with the CPC and NDP for that province's popular vote.

The next election is going to be very interesting. Majority governments look to be a thing of the past for us. With five significant political parties nationally, I expect coalition governments to become the order of the day for Canada. IMO that's a good thing.
