"The Conservative Party wins elections by using the progressive split in their favour, usually with less than 37% of the popular vote. This has left the remaining 63% of Canadians – progressives – out of the government for 3 consecutive elections"

Of course you like everyone else are entitled to their own opinions.

And for the record, provincially I strategically voted for the NDP in 2018 as they were ahead in my riding.

Likewise if Greens are ahead in your riding then you should vote Greens (in my opinion)

Bullshit- strategic voting is just an attempt to move Canada to a US style 2 party system Fiendish Thingy Sep 2021 #5

There's just one thing you need to remember, "Pete" True Dough Sep 2021 #22

I thought DU had a policy against flaming democratic/liberal figures Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #14

The Democratic Party stops at the 49th parallel- doesn't exist in Canada Fiendish Thingy Sep 2021 #15

As I mentioned to "True Dough" I have no interest in parroted talking points from #2TierOtoole Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #18

Indeed. The Liberals aren't the only party in Canada with ethical and corruption issues. Nt Fiendish Thingy Sep 2021 #20

Actually there's nothing wrong with the Liberal Party at all Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #23

Finally, if NDP supporters are wondering why Trudeau called an election, Hiawatha Pete Sep 2021 #19
