I have no predictions really. I think the Liberals will continue with their minority government, and both the Conservatives and the NDP will get more seats than they have now. I'd love it if Green somehow managed to work their way into visibility though.

Welcome to the voting world.
Green is often viewed as a 'snub' vote, in that people will vote for the Green Party to avoid voting for any of the other candidates. They have been gaining legitimacy in recent years, but I wouldn't expect them to take any seats this time around; there's just not enough people who take them seriously yet. Watch for them in the pop vote, though.
