Yes, Aristotle, I've noticed that the NDP has very few candidates nominated in Manitoba so far. Meanwhile, the Liberals have nominated candidates in nearly all the Manitoba ridings, and not just paper candidates, but some very good ones. This is the first time in many years where it looks like the Federal Liberals will go into an election in better shape in Manitoba than the NDP.
It's a bit different next door in Saskatchewan, where the NDP seems to be making more of an effort and has nominated more candidates. Maybe NDP HQ feels its chances for pick-ups are better in SK than in MB in 2015.
