Thank you for your work, sacrifices and service. Apologies for the snark, but the NDP are responsible for Canada's public healthcare. The Trudeau majority had no interest in improving pharmacare until reduced a minority - then Singh and the NDP forced through improvements. That's just a fact. - ThreadSky

This is why we need more coalition governments so parties work together. We have universal health care in Canada thanks to a liberal government (Lester Pearson) working with the NDP (Douglas) to make it happen! (BTW, I usually vote NDP)

It’s VERY important to avoid a Liberal majority. It will mean AUSTERITY. Recall how Chrétien-Martin slashed transfer payments and allowed provinces to violate the CHA with private clinics and regressive and illegal taxes like the MSP? How union workers were fired and seniors were abused for profit?

I would prefer a liberal majority over a liberal con minority. That would accomplish nothing! I'm an NDP voter but I don't like Singhs recent antics. The times are very different now. We need a strong leader & effective negotiator, unfortunately that's not Singh & definitely not PP

The only way a Con minority can function is if the Liberals prop it up - like they did for 5 years the Harper minority. You really think Carney would stoop that low?

A coalition govt would force Carney to be more socially responsible, but the NDP will need more leverage: 100 seats instead of 25. It’s entirely possible as many urban ridings are tight NDP vs LPC battles. Time to get out there and knock on some doors! 💪🧡🇨🇦

I know, my friend & neighbour. All the respect and love to you. I know how hot-heat this election is for all of us, and honestly: I agree with you about the Trudeau majority and lack of action.

My hope, now that I work in healthcare at home, is advocate that we CAN do better- now more than ever💕
