What??? SK and AB are voting conservative? Who would have thought? It must be because we saw everything Harper did for SK when we elected only CPCs.
I mean, in a time of uncertainty, could the Wheat Board, that he sold to Saudi Arabia, be helpful?
True! But we gotta forgive ourself (as country, personally I never endorsed this little clown) and be proud that we are going not to do the unforgiven mistake to make him pm. Like US did with the Master Clown.
Nobody get complacent, make sure your family, co-workers, neighbours get out to vote. We don't want our own version of a Hillary. I don't want to hear that it's in the bag so there is no need to vote
The NDP is generally the third biggest by votes, which seems a perfectly fair way to count things. Especially when it's often by a rather large margine (3 million votes to 1.3 million last election, for instance).
Fair point! The NDP is considered to be vote efficient, but the BQ is even more so (if we viewed them as a pan-Canadian party, which would kind of funny)
Indeed. Considering they've managed to get all the sane countries to haul their arsenal to protect their democracies, even i from Finland could send some.
Eiköhän ole niin että noille nokkosetkin olisivat sodanjulistus / I'm somewhat certain sending even just nettles would be seen as a declaration of war in their eyes
can you share any insight on where the data comes from? polls regarding who people intend to vote for in each riding? do party registration numbers factor in?
i ask because many of us registered LPC just to vote in the leadership race, when our votes will likely go elsewhere.
visit the site for all the specific polls that go into the aggregator. You can then even go to specific polls, see regional, age, and gender breakdowns, and see the actual reports from the pollsters which include methodologies and other questions. It's a very good site.
Good point. This is a Harris/Trump neck-and- neck race. Never trust the polls. Make sure to vote for anyone who can beat a conservative candidate in your riding. I keep checking to see if NDP or Liberal are most likely to beat the conservatives in my riding.
Yes. Liberals are red, Conservatives are blue. Which can be confusing because whenever I talk about USA politics, I'm hoping for a bluenami, but I do NOT want that in Canada
I’m so ashamed to be from Alberta. Most Albertans weren’t even alive during PET’s reign. They likely don’t even know why they hate the libs but are too afraid to think for themselves. They’d rather hate and blame than research issues for themselves. This ain’t you Daddy’s Conservative Party Bubba.
Ironically, I had an Albertan justify not voting for the Liberals today by sending me a chart showing how poorly JT did in a "Best PM" survey. The same survey showed PET as the best.
Don’t trust the polls. The number of people who don’t vote could change everything. We have to help all of our friends and neighbours get to polling stations.
Well I’m an American I already know the horror of living and dying by the polls ! Just be thankful you still have no reason to worry about the freeness and fairness of any future election!
Gotta thank the yanks for giving Canadians a good look at how a modern conservative government elected on a platform of grievance politics and weird culture war obsessions (and, of course, explicit racism, xenophobia and misogyny) runs things.
I’m former PCer without a party. I refuse to vote Conservative. They’re not my party. The reform party swallowed up the PCs. I’m going Liberal for the first time in my senior life.
I think social progressives (like me) are just seeing the wave of authoritarian, repressive governments being swept into power across the world, and are shit scared of losing all of the gains we've made (and the Trudeau government, for all its warts, did deliver on a lot of progressive policy --
legalized marijuana, daycare reform, national pharmacare and dental care plans). Personally, I don't feel a pressing need to ratchet things further to the left at this dangerous moment in the world. I just want to hold on.
I think the other person was referring to the 2022 supply-and-confidence agreement between the Liberals and NDP, which Singh unilaterally ended in ... September 2024, I think.
I googled it. I was plain wrong. I confused it with the fact that Jack Layton was the son of a PC cabinet minister and that he first ran as an independent.
Americans are reversed from basically everybody. In most of the anglosphere countries the mainstream progressive party is represented in red while conservatives are blue.
PP had it in the bag and still fucked up! He's done as CPC leader after this. Good riddance 😂
Even sweeter? Trudeau's final approval ratings are higher than PP!
Now, Canada, don't forget to vote!
And PP fanned the flames. Except once Trudeau was gone abd the Orange Thing took office again, Canadians realized who would be PM and said "Wait, we don't want YOU either!" and then Carney entered the picture
Makes me question the Conservatives thought process. Choose a political attack dog ad your leader, fan to flames until the unpopular leader is replaced and your unlikable leader has no target to hide behind
The benefit Canada has is that it is a quick election, basically 33 days and the tariffs start in a week. So it makes manipulation more difficult to sway momentum in a short period. There are also less total disinformation channels.
Outta curiosity (I don't know shit about how Canada's democracy operates ((sorry))). Do the northern Canadian provinces just not have enough of a population to merit federal representation, or does it work some other way?
The northern territories don’t have enough population to garner more than a federal seat each for the House of Commons and the Senate. Yukon (the left one) has 40 000 people. North-West Territories (middle) has 41 000 people, and Nunavut (right) has 37 000 people, according to the 2021 census.
Le choix est clair : Voter pour ou contre Trump.
Voter conservateur, c'est voter Trump.
Mon humble avis de Français aillant vécu plusieurs années en Ontario.
Faites le choix de la liberté !
I won’t even consider a guy who won’t renew security clearance. A guy who echoes the orange dictator. A guy who still hasn’t said ‘elbows up’ once. Calls himself a Canadian but doesn’t apologize to inanimate objects when he bumps into them. PP is a tree elf who failed at making cookies.
Alberta and SK have many good people, but damn you wouldn't think so from their premiers or MPs. I mean ... the likes of Andrew Scheer and Kerry Diotte should be unelectable outside Florida.
If Alberta goes all con, I am blaring O Canada out of my windows while driving all summer to upset the assholes.
They know, and you should believe no con voter that they are confused that their vote is for destruction of our nation. They know, and just like everything else, they are liars.
Truly, 2 months ago, if you’d told me this was going to happen, I would have laughed. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy about this but I’ve yet to see a fumble like this in the almost 30 years that I’ve legally been able to vote in this country.
True. But PP has also had a role to play in his own expected political demise. He's not likable. At all. People don't want to vote for someone they don't like. I've yet to hear colleagues/former colleagues describe him as anything other than a purely political individual who has no real 'friends'.
I mean, we did just hand the BCNDP another majority government. Marginally but it is the 3rd consecutive win and polling shows them up by +3% over the CPBC.
To be honest, David Eby has the Western NDP curse of being very very centrist so it's hard to even compare Eby to Singh and I think few people really see the federal and provincial parties as similar. There are A LOT of people who vote for the both BCNDP and the CPC.
The NDP is solid in all of Edmonton and half of Calgary on a provincial level. We just can’t flip seats for shit from the conservatives for federal elections. 😬
Thanks. I just checked last night, and we currently have 9 Liberal candidates for Alberta. The NDP at least made sure to have a candidate for every riding already. 🙃
We made the mistake of thinking Hillary had it in the bag in 2016...don't make the same mistake or your people won't worry about voting and you'll end up annexed because PP will roll over for trump and that's just a fact

Also note: the colors for the 3rd-biggest party, a leftie/social democratic one, are orange!!
Can't chat now, I'm goggling poisonous options.

We have different “colour coding”
Get with the program, eh, and vote liberal.
A vote for the conservatives is a vote for Trump.
https://Liberal.ca
It's almost as if Donald Trump is bad at math.
Progress isn’t being lost everywhere — look at S. Korea’s failed coup, and protests across the globe and in the US.
The moment we lose hope is the moment we have been truly subdued.
Even sweeter? Trudeau's final approval ratings are higher than PP!
Now, Canada, don't forget to vote!
See this thread.
Imagine being one of the year-round residents of Dawson City. That's gotta be some wild shit.

No Carney, and we would not be seeing a turn *this* dramatic

There's pretty much no other candidate who presents such a stark contrast to Poilievre.
However, BC NDP is between the federal Liberals and the federal NDP ideologicaly.
A former BC NDP mayor is running for Liberals, and a former BC NDP premier was an MP for Liberals.
Unite and let’s grow this country’s wealth. Together from Coast to Coast.
