If enough conservatives cross the floor, maybe Canadians will recognize the Liberal party as the progressive conservative party it is and let the NDP own the left.

Exactly. It's time to put to an end the myth that the LPC is a "progressive" party.

Traditionally, Canadians have been socially liberal and fiscally conservative and fairly “centrist” overall. That has mostly described the Liberals with the Conservatives mostly coming in to power after periods where the Liberals have been less fiscally conservative.

The NDP struggles to create a national mandate as they are perceived as too fiscally left (what gets the Liberals in trouble). The Conservatives are sometimes seen as too socially right, opening the door for the Liberals.
