There's an article there from February that agrees Oliver's chances are slim. I think it peaks at 38%. But if the NDP and Libs split the vote, he could still squeak in. Given that they have yet to name a candidate, it's unlikely the NDP will have anyone with name recognition. And with no name recognition, it's unlikely an NDP candidate will take much away from the Liberals. But if that's they case, perhaps resources are better spent elsewhere.

I dunno. I just "liked" the FB page for the riding, so maybe I'll get a better idea of what they're planning.
