I can see a few reasons why this could happen:

1. Your local CPC candidate is an idiot and you have a stellar NDP candidate.
2. You are in an overwhelming CPC stronghold so don't feel your vote has any impact.
3. Your NDP candidate has shown up and answered questions during the election while the CPC candidate is AWOL.
4. You prefer Layton to Harper.
5. You want the CPC in power but want a strong counterweight in a minority government.
6. If you're not voting CPC, the NDP is favourable to the Liberals in terms of Western presence.
