I don't love this sort of stuff. How are you going to do riding-level strategic voting without riding-level polling? I think this sort of stuff tends to stop people from thinking about the issues. It's not necessarily bad, but I'm also not convinced it's helpful. - ThreadSky

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm kinda over playing nice and taking a shit kicking.

“…However, rather than simply relying on these raw numbers, we apply a proprietary weighting system to fairly balance the available data based on our (yet to be publicly disclosed) methodology.”

Is this trustworthy?

I thought they did take riding level polls into account

Fair enough! As always, I appreciate your take!

This strategy worked in 2015

There was a website called AnyoneButHarper and people referred to it to make sure we weren’t splitting the vote to give CPC a win

What Cdns need to remember is Ford (and the CPC) rely on vote splitting to get majorities

You can look at historical data to see

It's helpful if it gives Ford a minority so he can't just enrich his buddies at our expense all the time but I do agree it's not the greatest to not vote based on that and we should be voting for the candidate in our riding that will best represent the change we want to see no matter party

Riding level polling is an important part of what could make strategic voting work. Not sure how that could be accomplished. Here is my work on strategic voting for the Ontario election.

The basic premises is to see who came in second in the last election... not exactly scientific, but something to start from.

Yea, I don't really believe in strategic voting on a personal level. We would all be better represented if we didn't vote strategically.

They should use this energy to support voter reform.
