On limited opportunities

It's noteworthy enough that the Libs are apparently focusing on only three ridings in Quebec as remotely plausible gains. But it's even more significant that a list that short includes one riding already held by the NDP, and another where the NDP has inside position on the Libs.

In effect, the Libs are publicly admitting that they're helpless to change the balance of power in Quebec against either the Cons in a national battle, or the Bloc in a federalist/separatist contest. And if the Libs can't claim any plausible hope of contesting more new seats than the NDP, then there's every reason for habitual Lib voters across the province to consider whether there's a better chance to bring about the change they want by voting for a party that actually has some room for growth.
