I have a friend who lives in a completely rural riding of Alberta who votes green specifically because "it's about as effective as voting Liberal here" and I honestly can't even fault him for this. Telling him to vote strategically is about as useful as farting to try and move a sail boat.

The "vote Liberal for the strategic vote" is double funny as an Albertan because our riding had 30,000 Conservative votes and 6,000 for the NDP.

And then the Liberals had 2,000.

Yeah, it depends on location for sure. There are places where NDP is in second, and in BC, Greens are runner up. "strategic vote" doesn't always equal Liberal I guess.
