The election of a Liberal would also present a vastly greater threat to the Conservatives than electing a Green. And I think we do want to threaten them, so that they don't just treat us as an obedient cash cow (expressed by cancelling our rec centre funding, for example).

Harper viscerally hates the Liberals. He wants to destroy them, burn their villages, slaughter their oxen and salt the very fields they sow. Electing a Liberal would get his attention alright. Think shadow candidate, air war, etc. I don't know if he would outright try to buy us back but there sure as heck will be a full court press next election. All the while maintaining a smug what me worry demeanour about it.
Please Calgary, lets do this.
