  • David Kilgour - The former Liberal cabinet minister is supporting the NDP in this election.[27]

  • Wade MacLauchlan - The Liberal Premier of Prince Edward Island endorsed his local Liberal candidate but declined to campaign for the federal party noting "I feel that the premier of Prince Edward Island and, for that matter, our province collectively, must be ready to work with whoever forms government after Oct. 19, and as we can see, there are a lot of different scenarios that could emerge."[107]
  • Don Iveson - The Mayor of Edmonton declined to endorse a specific party noting "It’s not my role to tell anyone who to vote for…but I’m going to suggest what to vote for. Vote for cities…But, above all else, make sure you vote."[108]

  • Mohamed Fahmy - The recently freed Egyptian-Canadian journalist felt "betrayed and abandoned" by the Harper Government while imprisoned in Egypt.

  • Alison Redford - The former Premier of Alberta and leader of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta endorsed 'change' while noting this didn't mean she was opposed to the federal Conservative government observing, "You have to be open to new ideas.

Strategic voting

edit

Some organisations and individuals have endorsed strategic voting, these include

  • LeadNow - The group ran a campaign called Vote Together encouraging voters in "swing ridings", where the Conservative incumbent only won with a narrow margin in the 2011 election, to vote for the Liberal or NDP candidate most likely to defeat the Conservative candidate.[124]
  • Unifor - Canada's largest labour union has endorsed all NDP incumbents, but has urged progressive voters to pick the opposition candidate with the "best chance of defeating the Conservatives". Union leader Jeremy Dias added that Unifor has a "strong relationship with the federal NDP" and will actively support the "re-election of all incumbent New Democrat MPs".[125] That could be interpreted as somewhere in between an endorsement of the NDP and an endorsement of strategic voting.
  • Margaret Atwood - The renowned author endorsed strategic voting to defeat the Conservatives: "I support whoever, in their riding, can defeat a Conservative. It can be a Liberal; it can be the NDP. We have three main political parties, so we’re very conscious of vote-splitting. Last time, the incumbent [Conservative] government got voted in by 39 percent of the vote."[126]
  • Mark Jaccard - Professor of Environmental economics at Simon Fraser University endorsed strategic voting to defeat Stephen Harper.[127]
