Sooner or later (Probably sooner) voters will get tired of these 2 and look elsewhere.
If the NDP was more than just a protest party they could make some real headway. A charismatic leader with a shift in philosophy at the head of the NDP could be what this country needs to stir what has been a boring and embarrassing Canadian political landscape.

Actually I think the Conservative brand is growing. All governments become corrupt. Let's not forget, before we point fingers at the Conservatives, that the previous Liberal government was responsible for one of the biggest public scandals in Canadian history.
Where I work, we've done some polling and mapping out of Canadian public opinion and voting patterns; it's shocking how national the Conservative vote is when compared to the Liberals especially. The Conservatives are basically a legitimate party in every region of this country except for Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
For full disclosure, I will say that I work for a conservative-oriented non-profit organization.
