Even here in Alberta we elected an NDP government that is far from what I would consider hard-left, and it took a mammoth protest-vote to do it where I doubt two-thirds of NDP voters will do it again.
There are some leftist nutjobs. Don't feel like they're a threat though.

Sorry, I should have been more thorough with my point. I wasn't intending to suggest that the far left is a significant threat, merely that if one extreme or the other were to gain a more dominant voice in Canada, it would be the left rather than the right that would do so. Neither is a credible threat to a country that tends to sit far more to the left compared to our southern neighbour - even the Harper Conservatives.
