Anyone who would put the Conservatives ahead of the Liberals on anything hasn’t been paying attention.
I wish we had better options. The NDP could have this in the bag if they actually tried.
Anyone saying they'd vote Liberal instead of any other parry likely isn't a renter. Or you know, you could recognize that different people have different reasons for voting. Agree on your point about the NDP tho, that they're not making hay in the current socioeconomic context is pretty damning on party leadership.
I rent. I vote Liberal. I'll do it again.
The rules are simple:
Except: (a) isn't conservatives' strong point (b) isn't conservatives' strong point ( c) isn't the greens' strong point (d) isn't the oranges' strong point until we have better voting
It was liberal last time. Until the average IQ goes up and people realize the cons are still schlepping some trickle-down scam and stop perpetuating their mess, we won't get a better party into play.
Don't split the vote. Minority Red is better than cruel blues.
I rent, I vote NDP. Singh has a temper but he's a good guy.

I have friends who rent who would "love to vote NDP but they're never going to win so they vote Liberal as to not throw away their vote". Fuck. The system is broken if people need to vote like this.
I can't wait for my generation to be old enough to be elected.
Well, or strategically voting.
I'm just thankful that strategic voting allows me a party closer to my ideals in an ABC scenario.
Too many racist fucks to vote for NDP sadly
Ndp needs a stronger leader, not some clown who cries racism or similar every time he's backed into a corner
Just imagine where we'd be if Jack Layton was still with us
Honestly, we'd be in a better spot if Tom Mulcair was still in charge. Or, if Charlie Angus had won instead.
Singh is okay, if you're campaigning in the heady days of 2015-2019. He's not the person you want now; you want an empathic economic populist--the Canadian equivalent to Sanders, if you will.
Singh isn't that. Layton wasn't, either. Layton did well because the Bloc and Liberals both collapsed and Harper had a natural vote ceiling.
