It's great that Pierre lost and he probably lost to someone better, but were there better candidates for the common people on the ballot? How are liberals as a whole for Canada? Would another party have been better - greens for example?

I've seen a community about better vote counting system, so it seems Canada is still a first past the post country?

I always vote NDP, but it depends on the MP in your riding. Some people didn't have an NDP candidate to vote for, and some people voted strategically so they didn't split the vote and the liberals would get in over PP.

The seats the NDP did win were generally NDP strongholds. An example is that Wpg Centre had Leah Gazan running, and she has a really good reputation in that area because she does really good work, and she was the only NDP in the prairies who kept her seat!
