    As exciting as it is to see that Canadians aren’t as stupid as our neighbours, this is only a poll. We have to vote, and vote like our country is at stake, because none of us want to be voting for a PRESIDENT in our next election.

    You can see people swapping from NDP to Liberal. Whats really interesting is how little Conservative voters are changing.

      There is a ten percent drop in Conservative support since November 24. That’s a fifth of their numbers.

      There is a tiny drop from November to today, but yes it’s mostly NPD voters (That’s their name in Québec ^^) and a little drop in the BQ towards the Libéral Party.

      People on the broader left are unifying under the Liberals to counter PP now that Trudeau is gone.

      I want NDP but we have to win against cons first. NDP can wait.

      Btw libs, time to knock off the gun control letters. I just got another one (for a model I don’t even own).

      They should be explicitly endorsing responsible firearm ownership now given the enemy at the gate.

      Not really.

      Conservative brains are way more locked down, while center and left brains are more open to change, and know what needs to be done to better everyone’s lives. It’s pretty much in the name “conservative” and “liberal”.

      If you look at the exit polls from the election down south, it’s pretty wild how definitive republicans are with certain statements, even when those statements are demonstrably untrue.

    How the fuck is there so much conservative support in this country? How did people get so fucking stupid?

      Buddy, Canada is blue outside of cities. Not as stupid blue as rural US but blue nevertheless.

        Provincially, Northern Ontario was mostly orange, it was the braindead cities that voted in Ford. Maybe federally is different.

        And no, it is just as stupid as US conservatives - especially when the candidate is ready to fuck over healthcare and potentially sell us off to be the 51st state

          More like most of the suburbs and small towns just outside larger cities did. Most large city centres all voted for either Lib or NDP.

        I’m still pissed about that. Like, how?! Dude has cost us so fucking much as it is. Then he goes and gives all adults a $200 cheque?!

        For a party that loves to bitch about welfare and wasteful spending, those cheques should have killed the party’s chances - especially since the note that came with it mentioned the cheque was to help offset the expensive cost of living that was partially due to the federal carbon tax? The fucking tax that HE forced us into? And they STILL fucking won?

        Maybe it’s high time we put will testing questions on ballots like we do on sweepstakes.

          It’s mostly wealthy people that want private healthcare because they want to hoard the limited supply of doctors themselves for quicker response times and let all the poorer folk wait even longer to be seen.

      Many swallow the same propaganda as south of the border. Around 40% of conservative voters could be considered MAGA supporters. It’s the other 60% who have to come to their senses and realize the PP is lying about his support for Canada. He is just a discount Trump populist.

    Liberal majority with 61.4%

    With this, the prospect of electoral reform seems bleak.

    But it looks better than the alternative with 1% chance.

      The best we’re going to get is ranked ballot. At the very least it would avoid vote splitting, so that’s a positive.

      Good question, and thanks for the link to 338. I’m in an ndp stronghold and happy with my mp.

      Would still switch if I needed to to avoid a split vote. I’m sure there are many others who feel the same.

      I would hate hate hate to vote strategically, but it’s fpp and this feels like a time when it’s necessary.
