Rabble has a good run down on some election strategies to oust Harper and his gaggle of misfits on May 2. The Liberals have the best chance of beating Harper nationally, but in several ridings the NDP or Green stand a better chance, so strategic voting is important.
Catch 22 Harper Conservatives have a lot on info on that.
Several groups are also adopting ridings, where we provide foot soldiers and money to the best Conservative contender.
The biggest rule is to tune out the pollters. They have their heads stuck in the 1950s and I think this is one election where their predictions will fall flat.
They have not added the passion of the Canadian people to get rid of these crooks, and restore our democracy.
And they have not factored in the youth vote, which I think will be record setting this time around.
And most importantly on May 2, vote and vote wisely. Our future as a sovereign nation depends on it.
Check out Catch 22 Tories;

"We're Voting CBC" campaign
While we will work hard to engage our 150,000 supporters in all parts of Canada during the election, our strategy is to focus on 45 ridings where the outcome in 2008 was very close and where we have many hundreds of supporters on the ground. Already in the pre-election period we have worked with local volunteers to meet with scores of MPs and nominated candidates.
Now that the election has been called we are organizing a WE'RE VOTING CBC campaign in each of these close ridings. This will involve a sign campaign, all candidates' meetings, coffee parties and a range of other grassroots actions to raise the profile of public broadcasting. The goal – to make sure that the newly elected MPs arriving in Ottawa from these 45 swing ridings share a strong sense of the importance of a strong and independent CBC to voters back home.

2008 Federal Election Results by Riding in excel sheet

General Election on May 2, 2011

…………………………….
In 2006, Harper won his "minority" government by 4,502 votes in 11 ridings across Canada. That's it.
Having an extra illegal $1.3 million to throw around helped cinch the election for them.
Abusing the advertising rules by using no-chance ridings to divert money and bolster their advertising in competitive ridings is illegal when the party's reached its cap. It is more than an accounting or administrative error. It is yet another deliberate manipulation of the voting system to achieve an undemocratic result.
