I'm sure you're aware that splitting the left is often seen as a win for the right, and reasonably so given FPTP and the political aversion in this country to what should be (and are in other parliamentary democracies) acceptable democratic political maneuvering, such as forming coalitions and crossing the floor unimpeded.

You're implying that the Liberals are left-wing

Aware for sure, I have voted strategically in more than one election. I'm just surprised at seeing Lewis beating Carney as vote splitting. Sure if the Lewis : Carney : PP numbers were 30 : 35 : 35, then I would talk about vote splitting.

You pretty clearly aren't aware. An NDP win here achieves literally nothing, and is actually a conservative win (a big one).
