  • Either way you slice it, throwing a vote at the NDP or Greens and staying home to file your nails is about the same thing. Your vote could help the NDP to… lose official party status, or if your heroic strategy fails the CPC will have a pointless number of seats anyway because they are about to be obliterated by the Liberal Party. I know I know, it’s exhausting that your point has to be re-explained yet again, right?

    Also, speaking of embarrassing, saying that polls are not to be trusted while also saying that you should vote for a third party because the polls say they might win in your riding is a hilarious bit of cognitive dissonance. Thank you for brightening a drab Monday morning with that.



  • I fully understand Canadian politics, but whatever hot take “strategic voting” opinion you have is meaningless if the ridings are polarized. There is a reason the NDP is dropping to the brink of non-party status. They aren’t going to be an option for anyone’s “strategic vote”. That works occasionally but this is not one of those years. For the vast majority of the country, it’ll be red, blue, or a wasted ballot, even in traditional NDP or Green ridings.


  • Ok, you are telling me the most basic shit like it’s news. I know what a minority government is, I just don’t think the NDP has done anything worthy and the Green party is a wreck, so I think most seats will go either blue or red with the bloc being the only party that might have a chance in hell of pulling enough seats to play spoiler and become the swing votes in Parliament.

    See Parliament after the 2006 election, except replace Jack Layton with Singh, i.e. maybe two seats of they’re lucky
