We talked about the possibility of an election, likelyhood and risk in another thread yesterday. With party and leader numbers like these… maybe it’s more likely than I thought.

      I cannot express how much I hate strategic voting. But basically every Canadian person living in Canada thats eyeballing the US thinking “thats the way we should be” is Conservative and that number is growing worryingly high.

      We need electoral reform and we needed it 30 years ago.

        How could it not be growing. The left abandoned any social media spaces. They have left every high profile leftist high and dry letting the right dominate the conversation. Nobody is out there spreading and supporting the left. For some reason thé biggest effort on the left is organizing bigger and bigger protests but then going home after their most vocal and active leaders are killed or arrested.

      At least until the new leadership race has concluded. The country is hungry for an official opposition that can work with government when it’s in the shared national interest.

      I think people have given up on the left overall but the right wing machine is so aggressive and entrenched into everything that we are casting votes to liberals to hang on
