Olivia Chow was married to late Jack Layton the first NDP leader to put his party in the opposition 3 years ago. The reason why she will most likely loose is because people see her loosing and they do not want another Ford run (I'm sure you have heard of his legacy lol) so they are voting for Tory.
Just because she does not do good in Toronto does not mean she can do good in Canada in fact the opposite has happened with many politicians, if she went federal she would do good in BC and Ontario but she would probably completely loose Quebec.
