I hate strategic voting and I’m holding my nose and voting for Carney anyway to keep Polievre out. I wish the NDP wasn’t such a mess. But I don’t want Canada to get into bed with the orange rapist.

Just in case: There are websites that tell you how each party is polling in each riding. If your riding isn’t competitive for conservatives then absolutely don’t vote liberal. If the people who have to will strategically vote liberal, then the people who can must vote their conscience to avoid more lesser evil politics (which just might guarantee a conservative government later on as seen from your neighbors down south).
Your post would be better worded as “if your riding isn’t competitive for conservatives, you don’t have to vote strategically and can vote for your preferred candidate/party.”
Lol. It’s crazy to me that progressive Canadians act like the Liberals are the devil incarnate when they live in one of the stablest and most progressive countries in the world, and it’s been lead largely by Liberal governments for most of its history.
Like I don’t agree with every decision they’ve made but it’s also crazy to just view them as incompetent northern Democrats.
Okay full disclosure I’m not Canadian I’m just here for the political drama, but Canada is trailing behind Europe in terms of peogressiveness no? No proportional representation for one, and until recently no dental healthcare.
I don’t think anyone here, including me, has said that. They do represent the business as usual political establishment so the broad comparison tracks; Canada has issues that will lead to a conservative majority if not addressed and a minority government has a much better chance of addressing those issues in a satisfactory way than a liberal majority government.
That is a massive quibble / splitting of hairs over an incredibly subjective metric. Whether or not Canada is number 1 or 2 or top 5 is not relevant. The point stands.
That is precisely what your previous comment implied.
Really. What evidence do you have for that? Please do educate us with your extensive knowledge of Canadian parliamentary history and the relative effectiveness of our minority governments.
