Regardless of the poll numbers....VOTE!!!

You can vote most days at most Elections Canada Offices across Canada before April 22nd. There's also the advanced polling days as well and other ways to vote.

Ground news (from the screenshot) is Canadian too!

Good eye. We are opposite team colors, lol.

Polling is such a joke. Never in my lifetime has polling given me an accurate idea of how the election will turn out.

If Doug Ford somehow didn't win the recent election, Poilievre would have a lot better chances in Ontario. It tends to be a thing in Ontario where people don't want the provincial and federal to be the same party.

Polls are sometimes bad augury, don't count on anything. Register to vote, and by mail if you like. https://ereg.elections.ca/en/ereg/index

If strategic voting appeals to you: https://votewell.ca/ https://smartvoting.ca/

If recent history among the nominally liberal parties in the US and the UK are any guide, here is Canada's near term future:

The liberals will win by double-digit margins on a campaign promising change and reform.
The liberal party, once in power, will immediately start instituting mass austerity and adopting anti-trans laws.

Are you Canadian? I’d rather have the NDP but the Liberals have been pro trans for the last decade or so. Carney’s child is non binary even

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

The NDP vs Liberal debate is often a really easy one to solve if people are torn- check 338 Canada to see if the NDP have a roughly equal or greater than 1% chance of winning that riding. If they do, vote NDP.

That might sound like a very generous rule for the NDP but it actually amounts to about 17 of 343 ridings.

can you take that statement a step further to give it some merit? perhaps include some statements or historical data, or planned policy?

just asking as a voter who plans to vote for carney unless you give some decent information and can back it up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just remember you're not voting for Carney, you're voting for a local MP, if the liberals aren't viable in your riding you're essentially throwing the vote away.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

im aware.

anyways, can you provide a source for your remarks on liberals going back on trans rights?

sounds like a revelation we may all benefit from if you can provide that information.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not my remarks to back up. In fact I'd be willing to bet the opposite will happen, both austerity and queer issues.

I can see new disruptive outcomes based taxes (plastics tax, packaging tax, sugar tax) being implemented due to having an economics focused PM. Cutting social programs is often costly in the long run, I don't see it happening.

LGBTQ people are more productive when they aren't in hiding or fighting for their existence.

ah, i see, my bad, got your names mixed up, an agreeable answer either way, lol.
