I would note that that is crazy. You seem to think the vote subsidy thing will change a lot of things that it won't.
The NDP put people in every riding across Canada before the subsidy and will after the subsidy. It has absolutely nothing to do with getting extra money and has everything to do with providing a representative, and yes sometimes a placeholder representative, in every single riding across the country. Since the subsidy likely will be gone next election, I bet that the NDP STILL run someone in every single riding, including those toaster ridings in Alberta.
