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.

      Thank you for voting strategically. It would be great to see people wake the fuck up and see the NDP become the official opposition. The conservatives should be banished to the basement of parliament

      I guarantee that when the next election rolls around, you’ll once again be voting liberal to keep fascism at bay.

        Just as the system intends. We need electoral reform as part of the solution out of this cycle. Our politics often mirror some of the USA (2 party system, right vs left, candidates spend most of their time bad mouthing each other, no follow through on election promises) , given their current state, we should be doing everything we can to distance ourselves and our systems from theirs.

      I’m pretty much in the same boat but luckily my riding is a safe NDP vote so I don’t have to worry about being strategic.

      I am obviously hoping for Carney this time around though. I’d vote for an (evil even) inanimate carbon rod over PP. Hopefully the NDP can choose a new leader and really take off next election
