Stephane Dion moves left, looks for NDP support

The Liberals are great at campaigning from the left, which it looks like they're trying to do, but have a history of governing from the right. I don't foresee this time around being any different, if they are able to form a majority government. That, however, is unlikely, though they'll try and find as much left-leaning support as possible prior to the election. Of course, the NDP are the ultimate losers when they are unable to distinguish themselves from welfare and left-leaning Liberals. Increasingly, more than the Liberals, the Green Party is starting to eat into NDP support, which explains this.

While Hebert notes that Dion's strategy has yet to poach any NDP support, the Liberals will likely cast themselves as progressive as possible on social issues and quasi-left on economic issues (except of course for anti-scab law) until the next election. There's plenty of time for their strategy to bear some fruit.
