The Bloc are not available for most Canadians to vote for, but yes, they are a left wing party, and we were certainly lucky for that when they were the official opposition. They help keep the window from being dragged further right than it already is.
The Greens attempt to be neither left nor right so they can be (in a gross misuse of this term) nonpartisan. I don’t know about today, but earlier in their formative period, most Green candidates were ex conservative candidates of various parties who found that true conservatism was not welcome in the modern right wing. Green philosophy is very compatible with both right wing conservatism and left wing idealism.
The LPC are the biggest whores in Canada and it’s just branding and shrewd exploitation of social issues that make people think otherwise.
The Greens? The Bloc?
And yes, the Liberals.

What are you talking about? Greens take the NDP line or further left on just about every issue.
