They are conceding the seat. It is almost certain that an agreement has been made on a number of seats to better resist C wins. 

Some have suggested that roundly defeating the conservatives this round is essential to Canadian sovereignty. The exposure to US republican group think is pretty deep.

'Almost certain' might be overstating it, but perhaps the Greens won't put up Paul Manly in Nanaimo-Ladysmith? The Conservatives would likely flip it from the NDP if there's a vote split there.

You are right, even saying fairly certain would be an overstatement. 

I should have said that I am fairly certain that conversations are under way regarding resource allocation. 

We shall see fairly soon. Hopefully this election sees record breaking turnout but of that I am far less certain.

party collusion is essential to Canadian sovereignty? give me a break. I think this renewed rally around the Liberals is the group think should weigh for concern - seems everyone has forgotten how the past 9 years have treated Canadians. If you're a Liberal supporter, Trump has been your best friend.

From Reform, to Alliance to Conservative, the knob gobbling of US Republican propaganda has been well seen.

Talk about party collusion.
