I can't help but notice this is the same call-to-arms that the federal Liberals have been crying at the end of every election since at least 1980, including the last. No matter how badly the Liberals have governed, how bereft of ideas and policy, the last-minute rallying cry has always been, "NDP: Hold your nose and vote for us or else the other guys will win" (Alison Redford successfully ran with this ploy last Alberta election, at the provincial Liberals' expense). So even though I have no ponies in this particular race, you'll have to excuse my reluctance in sharing your enthusiasm for this decades-old tactic.
