We do need someone to come over pre-election

If we want to get into the debates again I think we need someone to jump from the Liberals/CPC/NDP/Bloc pre-election.  Last time it was the final straw as we finally had everything that was listed as needed to be included.

Dion is possible, as he obviously has green leanings, but I think the ideal would be to find someone who is retiring but currently an MP for someone other than the Liberals as we don't want to be labeled as 'just there to promote the Liberals' (seems kind of dumb as, if that was the case, we'd just be splitting the vote).

Are there any CPC's who are sick to death of Harper and don't care if they get re-elected?  That would be ideal as it would be viewed as a shock to the system for the media to see one of them come over.  Bloc would be the least desirable on the surface but if they said they feel Canada can work but needs a change to a Green government to do so... now _that_ could be a game changer.

Really, I don't think anyone is going to jump ship, nor should that be our goal.

If they don't want to invite us, we'll just get everyone mad as hell like we did last time.  Last time we didn't get in because we had an MP, or because we met any criteria. 

We got in because Canadian's demanded it, and one by one the other parties broke down and supported our inclusion.
