A tale of two candidates

Not long ago, Michael Byers was the Libs' first choice as a candidate for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky. But given the opportunity to run instead for the NDP, he decided he could do better than the Libs.

Not long ago, Blair Wilson wanted desperately to run as the Libs' candidate for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky. But after the Libs rejected him for dishonesty, Elizabeth May was more than willing to overlook problems which even her own choice for Prime Minister saw as making him unfit for office - that is, as long as it would raise her party's profile.

Which would seem to nicely summarize the choice facing voters who are understandably frustrated with both the Cons and Libs. Do Canadians who want a change from politics as usual want to cast their votes for a party which can do better than the Libs, or a party which has no qualms about accepting even worse?
