And how many seats/votes did Jack Layton bring in that election? If I'm not mistaken, he came in 4th out of 4 parties and is fighting hard to maintain borderline official party status in Ottawa.
Obviously, there aren't very many of those Canadians out there.

For being 4th out of 4 official parties they have a substantial share of popular vote. I seem to remember it being around 20% but I may be a little high. That in my mind represents at least a reasonable amount of support for his views. Though I guess one could argue that people may have voted against the Liberals rather then for the NDP.
