There are all kinds of other parties you may consider voting for. There's the Fourth Front, whose website sent me to a bullshit "1 billionth search" ad that said I could win a prize and whose platform is COMING SOON in 00 Days 00 Hours 00 Minutes and 00 Seconds. There's the Animal Protection Party, which claims to be "inclusive of all species" and yet does not run any animal candidates.  There's the Canadian Nationalist Party which is clearly doing well.  There's the Marijuana Party which... I mean, half of their platform has already been enacted!  There's the Rhinoceros Party, of course, which, I mean, why not at this point? quote:Economy Any many more!

ZShakespeare posted:The NDP is mostly Liberals with a marginally more progressive tax policy? Yeah. I don't get people being disappointed by the NDP now. Why would it be different from the Mulcair years? It's basically the same people, with extra popular lefty sounding buzzwords with no tangible plan or serious candidate backing any of it.

Just a muddled mess of milquetoast centrism but at least there are some good TikToks now. I just think it's funny. At least try to say the quiet part quietly.

Or at least, that's what they seem to believe. I mean the love affair didn't last all that long after his death given how quickly all of those orange seats evaporated under Mulcair, because it turned out that Quebec actually loved racism a hell of a lot more than they loved Jack Layton and/or Jack Layton's ghost.

My local NDP riding association still hasn't got their candidate officially on the ballot, whereas Scott Reid already has lawn signs all over the place. Kinda sucks

Albino Squirrel posted:On a provincial level there's a bunch of seats in Alberta named after party leaders. Edmonton-Decore, Calgary-Klein, and Central Peace - Notley spring to mind. (The last one is named after her dad, she runs in Edmonton). I do think they're all posthumous though. So you're saying there's a chance that Harper could drag his ballsack across a vast swath of Calgary?

HackensackBackpack posted:Hahahahaha holy poo poo. How did this person get nominated by the NDP? It's a riding where we generally get 6-12% of the vote. They probably had to dial down a list of people to get someone to run. ...or, given this tweet, this person might be completely and utterly delusional.

Holy poo poo, stop naming things after people already. Especially after politicians. It shouldn't even be considered until...I'm going to say 100 years after their death, see if anyone remembers who they were or if they had any lasting relevance. I just get annoyed every time we we end up having to drive on a section of highway named in memoriam of some OPP officer or a street named after a minor local politician from 1956. And wow, that landlord tweet. If you're an NDP candidate and you're getting the urge to defend yourself from a landlord organization by reassuring them, remember that you don't actually have to do that. Feel free to tell them to go gently caress themselves instead.

We're just leaving the expense of re-renaming things to later generations when it turns out the politicians we named everything after were awful, which we already knew the whole time but pretended we didn't because "it was a different time then."

This is kind of stupid, O'Toole says he will still bring private healthcare to Canada, just prioritize public healthcare? The Liberals are stupid as well though because the full video is just as bad and by pushing the edit it gives the Conservatives an avenue of attack on what should be a really important election issue. Just burn this loving country to the ground already.
