So you wish the BC Liberals had won the last election there, then, since it was triggered by the NDP premier during a pandemic. Right?

Ive always gotten the impression that he’s trying to downplay the Frenchness of his name anyway.

He used to always want to come and give a campaign speech to my high school politics class when I was a kid, and he’d get real salty about that too.

Naked power grabs are cool, and I respect them for it. However I also hope the liberals are destroyed but because of their governance and policies.

Everyone votes strategically, pretending otherwise is dumb. The liberals always push this too far, and pretend that a ndp vote is a conservative view in every single riding, but let's not pretend that there's tons of people in here that would vote for the NDP over a ML or Communist candidate because those candidates have zero chance of winning.

In an ideal system we wouldn't have to vote strategically, but that's not the system we have.

I won't vote liberal no matter what since that's voting for a party I'm actively against, but I'm absolutely going to vote for anyone to the left who stands a chance of winning.

He was tired of a minority government with the Greens holding the balance. Didn't matter since he and Weaver seemed to have very effectively hogtied the Greens the moment the agreement was signed. Sucked, but I still voted NDP. This riding went with the incumbent B.C. Liberal candidate, a young Para-Olympic athlete whose only skillset seems to be getting herself elected by the oldest population in Canada and making a wheelchair go very fast around the track. Which is still more than other Liberal candidates have to offer. Local representation is a bit lacking, notably on disability issues.

Green candidates in this riding tend to be the type wearing suits and driving a Tesla with a rack on business cards for their consulting firm on the dash . It's disappointing that there are no magic crystals hanging from the rear view mirror. (Do Teslas even have rear view mirrors? I dunno these things, gently caress Elon.)

I would too, as long as it wouldn't lead to putting the Conservatives back in power. They've gone through their competent evil period, now we're in to the incompetent, buffoon evil period.

Lib minority with strong NDP/Bloc holding the balance of power. I'd like a pony too while I'm at it.

I think that's already happening anyway due to the huge liability associated with old underground tanks. More gas stations on this end of the island have been decommissioned than new ones opened and there's still a lot of life left in the existing stations. And just :lol: at the idea of hydrogen fuel as long as we're producing it from natural gas and coal-generated Alberta power. At that point it does become wacky island brain thinking.

The east coast of the island is all teed up to burn down again like it did in 1840 so there might be an issue rebuilding the charred remains. I have to admit this is not high on my worry priority list.

btw, battery tech is fine for commuter vehicles, even living on the island. In a world where 10 year old 200k vehicles need to be scrapped because everything is junk coming off the assembly line I'm not sure there's much to be concerned about with a 10-20 year battery life. Hopefully that won't become 5-8 years through the miracle of modern capitalism. I also don't think we should be trying to consume our way out of a problem created by excessive consumption, but that's just me.

I have just discovered that Alejandra Bravo won the nomination in Davenport back in July, which explains why I had no idea who my federal NDP candidate was until just now. Her name doesn't ring any bells, good or bad, so I guess I'll see what I can dig up.

Elections are about mass politics and appeal, and the responsibility of having enough of it to win a riding is the job of the political party, not the individual voter. The shifting of the responsibility onto individuals is broken brain liberal poo poo that substitutes moral blackmail for actually and credibly offering people anything.

You will not decide the election with your single ballot, the only way to have a meaningful impact is to volunteer your time and energy to convince a statistically significant number of other people to do something specific with theirs.

Your individual vote should absolutely be for whoever you want, and "strategic" voting is for morons.

Also because I am a west coaster who vote is pretty much meaningless three hours before I even cast it I usually vote for the party I want in power, strategic be damned. I understand if those living on the east don't have that privilege.

This is where I'm at. Don't really want a lib majority at this point (or ever) so lib minority with the NDP to occasionally needle them is ideal and will be from now until I die (which may be soon thanks to heat + wildfires).
