Please, BC, call this bluff so we can laugh at the outcome. It's worth whatever completely minimal price it takes!


For reference, 10x as much natural gas is produced in BC as gets consumed.



From one KMI pipeline to no pipeline... Do it!

it does almost sound like a brilliant attempt to thwart blaming everything on the local ndp. they can’t fight other parties and win, but what if they fought... each other

do whatever it takes to get the liberals in a minority government position where they'll have to rely on the ondp an-- oh they'll just lean on the conservatives, right.

Vote however you want then cause the Liberals are winning your riding. If you really want to make a difference perhaps find a decent local candidate worth supporting (not necessarily in your riding) and knock on a few doors or do a few phone banks on their behalf. If you have a car maybe volunteer to help drive elderly and disabled people to the polls on E-day.

Voting is the least consequential thing you can do politically and you shouldn't lose too much sleep over not having a candidate worth voting for. If you wanna get involved there are far better ways to do it.

Regarding your specific question though all the parties currently suck. I'd advocate voting NDP for the simplistic reason it is generally seen as a vote for more lefty leaning policy but yeah, the party sucks. They're explicitly in favour of proper socialized pharmacare and keeping public utilities under public control so for all their flaws they are unambiguously a better choice than the alternatives right now. You can also reassure yourself that living in St. Paul's you're at no risk of accidentally helping a Conservative get into office by splitting the vote.

Ontario politics is so depressing I just try to ignore it and wait for a Federal election to get all worked up about.

I've never lived in a close riding anyway. Sold Tory 'exurb, or solid NDP downtown core.

I've voted liberal ~strategically~ for so long it'll be nice to finally put one in for another party, even if it's the ONDP. Thanks for the advice.

At least I can look forward to the PCs tearing themselves apart. Part of me thinks that Doug Ford would win them the election somehow

my riding has our PC candidate getting nearly the same amount of votes as every other candidate combined. it's very depressing. he did lose 6% of his vote share in 2014, but I don't see things changing until he's dead (insha'Allah)

Crowder is sort of Canadian too? We need to convene a royal commission to study this.

The quintessential Tory voter is a suburban dad who wakes up in a cold sweat because he thinks a welfare recipient might have purchased a name brand product instead of store brand.
