and until they can win for a second time, it will remain that way, imo. Naheed Nenshi, the current NDP leader, is low key which may work in his favour but only time will tell. The interesting thing is I'm not seeing any recent poll numbers on where the parties stand which may mean Smith's numbers aren't great, that would be good news and I can only hope that is the case.
