MODERATORS
What I see is 5k NDP and Greens voters who would rather see a conservative MP having the seat than make sure it's someone fairly progressive in place.
Oh and enough people that voted for fake independents to make a point in favor of electoral reform to make a party that has always been against electoral reform take the seat.
It's not a fucking proportional system, vote strategically you idiots!
What I see is a need for Ranked Choice Voting, but the Liberals don't want to do that because they benefit from the current quasi-duopoly. But it is a necessary evolution
Edit: I think its pretty clear they benefit. Lotta would-be NDP voters who happen to fall into this dilemma of not wanting a Conservative government so they hold their nose and vote Liberal just until the next "less-pivotal" election that just never comes
I was one of those strategic voters and I was promised by the Liberals that they were going to have the "last election under first past the post". That didn't happen so I decided I am done being dragged into supporting a party that constantly fails to deliver the things I believe in. What I don't understand is seeing how the Liberals are getting demolished at the polls, why isn't the new strategic vote to go NDP to stop the Conservatives? They aren't that far behind the Liberals. π€·
Whats happening with Pharmacare and Dentacare btw haha? Are those still chugging along?
Pharmacare should be in place by April 2025, health minister says and Canada's dental care plan started almost 2 months ago..
Do try to keep up to date.
