The NDP has actually profited from the Green Party, at least for the time being. While not being prominent enough to cause the NDP to lose any seats (maybe one or two in BC), the Green Party has also shifted the entire political frame in Canada slightly to the left: the NDP is no longer the fringe left party, they're now the center-left party, liberals are still the center party, and the conservatives represent the entire right, from center-right to fringe-right.
