Green Party in Canadian election hurt Liberal Party?

[TexasSissy]

I think I heard a commentator say that if all the liberals had stayed together in the Canada election, the Liberal Party would've won big time.

The Green Party doubled its presence percentage-wise in this election. I guess he's counting the Green Party as a sub-party of the Liberal Party.

If so....is this an indication that the Green Party could do some damage to teh Dems in America?

1. isn't Canada based on proportional representation?

Which is obviously a much fairer system than what we Americans have. So, even if the leftist parties do not gain a majority individually, they still each get seats, and they can still work together to defeat the right.
