ummm...pardon? Where??
This thread is talking about the riding of Kelowna-Lake Country so one would logically assume that's what you are talking about however the facts don't support your claim at all.
2011 NEW DEMOCRAT Tisha Kalmanovitch 13,322 22.12%
2015 NEW DEMOCRAT Norah Bowman 9,044 14.1%
The NDP actually received 33% fewer votes than the last election in Kelowna - Lake Country.

NDP support was down in all areas of the country except PEI and the north.

I voted strategically and was one of a few thousand that made the difference. Good to see Kelowna embracing the future.
Me too. What sealed the deal was the endorsement of the Green Party. I got to vote pro-environment and anti-Harper. Win-win.

Nice guy, but will tow the party line to the end. That's how parties work.

Somehow I don't see Fuhr trying to start a fist fight in Parliament or closing a Veterans office in Kelowna and saying if we didn't close it we'd end up a socialist nightmare "like Greece".
It's well known the Liberal and NDP are much more fluid in their party structure. Less "king" and more "team".

That's interesting, considering the letter to the editor.

While Adams will not appear on the ballot, the Kelowna Federal Green Party Executive will not be endorsing or supporting another political party or candidate in order to avoid creating any false impression that the Green Party endorses another party
Edit: Does that count as a vote gained by deception?

More seats, but fewer votes in every single riding. Here is a graph of all ridings in the interior and on the Island showing this fact. Okanagan ridings in blue.

you are dealing with the Green Party supporters here. Introducing reality to this discussion is not appreciated.

What's actually well known is that you and truth are rarely acquainted. If you honestly think that the NDP or Liberals are "more fluid" then you are just kidding yourself.

Okay I get (don't necessary like it) the pension, what hell is with the severance. You were not re-elected its hazard of being a politician, to bad so sad. Go back to whatever you were doing before you became a politician.
