I was introduced to a site today that has riding-by-riding analysis for the upcoming Canadian election.  It's called Vote for Environment (http://www.voteforenvironment.ca/) and provides detailed predictions for how your riding will vote.  Using the last election, and the latest polls, it looks at how close the race will be and makes recommendations on your best chances to dethrone conservatives in swing ridings.
Quoted Text
If the Election were held today:
If we split our votes vs "vote smart":
Conservative 130 -> 75
Liberal 83 -> 123
NDP 41 -> 52
Green 0 -> 1
Bloc 52 -> 55
IND 2 -> 2

Some argue that the Green party may have gotten at least one seat if it weren't for strategic voting.  I'm just sad that if we had proportional representation, with 7% of the popular vote the Green party would have gotten 20 seats!  Instead they got 0, and while Bloc got just 9% they scored 50 seats.  How's that fair?
