This is not a land share issue, it is what happens when you total the counts of many mini-elections as we do. 2000 votes for green, 8000 for ndp, and 9000 for cons. That's a con win and a seat with 10000 votes getting thrown out. Multiply that for each district and you get a low vote share win.
Until we can get rid of FPTP this will keep happening. And good luck doing that when any elected party suddenly seems happy to keep it.
