But due to the first-past-the-post system he has a chance of winning. Voters are used to voting for the party they feel like voting for: the Liberals, NDP, or Greens.

The Greens are wildly unlikely to win due to their lower numbers of support. I suggest that all reasonable Canadians vote for the NDP this time.
