Once again the conservatives were proven wrong. Let's not make the same mistake Canada, vote liberal.

We have yet another example of the conservatives having only short term gain and quick profits on their mind. Turner and the liberals were right when they said that we have been building this country east to west for a century plus, and that we should have continued doing so. And now we are seeing Turner's predictions coming true, and a conservative sold us the fuck out and took the easy way Instead of nation building.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’m feeling conflicted this year. I’ve been an NDP voter since as long as I was old enough to vote. This year I’m leaning Liberal.
My riding is polling strong red so while it doesn’t make a statistical difference I want to show the NDP that I’m not confident in their leadership or partisanship. I love their policies but it’s time for Jagmeet and similar ineffective MPs to make way for stronger leaders.
Yeah, the NDP kind of need to get crushed in this election so we can clear out the dead wood. We need a reborn and revitalized NDP to meet the current moment.
I kind of agree, but there's a substantial chance the NDP will insist on misinterpreting the results as meaning they should pull even farther to the relative center, even though it's their base they are losing.
On the other hand, the NDP implosion in NB opened the window for a stronger Green party with no more splitting of left-leaning votes. That party now more effectively represents both environmental concerns and labor. So far, that's seeming like a pretty harmonious pairing of interests, with a largely shared base.
I'm good with the NDP either shaping up or getting out of the way.
Look, I wish I could give you an ironclad guarantee of how things will shake out, but that ain't how this shit works.
The NDP as they are now are incapable of rising to this moment. They need to be replaced by something that is. Maybe that works out, maybe it doesn't. Playing it safe has gotten us fucking nowhere. I'd rather take the swing.
Yeah, I think I've already talked myself out of worrying where the NDP goes next anyway. I hate how things went with the federal Greens but at this point they've still got as much shot at representing the left as the NDP.
I'm smelling a theme in leftist parties, where good leaders seem disproportionately difficult to replace.

That's why, if you want the NDP (or whatever party you are closest aligned with) to make better policy choices, you should become an active member of the party and get involved long before an election.
"I'm voting Liberal because the NDP have become too much like the Liberals"
This is why no one respects the left, you realize.
I voted for NDP. My province voted for Conservative, so we are getting Dougie Ford in ON, again. :/
That's pretty much where I'm at as well. My riding is currently blue, and every piece of mass-mail propaganda I've gotten from the current MP has used a lot of words to say an awful lot of nothing.
I've generally voted NDP, but they need to make some leadership changes. I don't believe that the current NDP leadership would be effective in handling the overgrown toddler running the show in the US, and PP would hand us to him on a silver platter. I don't actively dislike Carney so far, so at least that's something.
There might be a ghost of a chance that the Liberals win in my riding so I'm going to go for them.
Yeah same boat here.
