Sashimi posted:Not a single campaign reached out in my riding in any capacity, not even with a flyer in the mail. I got bombed with NDP fliers, door hangars, people at my door, texts, phonecalls, it was a bit much frankly. Liberals didn't do much I think I saw an ad. Greens left door hangars and showed up on YouTube ads.

At the provincial level, the Liberals have been eliminated as the left wing opposition to the Cons in favour of the NDP everywhere west of Quebec. Now how to expand that to the federal level.

Manitoba is an entirely different story than Ontario. Yeah the Manitoba NDP are a lot better than ONDP I agree, but never underestimate the stupidity of the average voter. Having said that, the NDP share of the vote is a lot more efficient in Manitoba too, so even if they win the popular vote by only 3 or 4%, they'll have a good shot at forming a majority. It's just too bad we're still 16 months away from election day and getting rid of these shitheads.

yeah it's just all our politics are an entire step to the right, which sucks. The cons here only exist on paper because the BC Libs are happy to take aboard alt-right christian fascists AND urban realtors who just want to have weaker financial regulations. The NDP then just exist to be the generic centrist party for folks who want to support are job creators and mom and pop landlords but don't really hate gay people or want money laundering legalized. The left simply doesn't exist, I mean it doesn't really anywhere in Canada. But we don't even have a centre-left party that supports unions, Horgan's NDP have been deeply hostile to unions since day one and constantly giving lip service and handouts to business owners and landlords. But he knows he can gently caress unions because who else are they going to vote for, the even more anti-union libs? And the BC Greens are just conservatives who have purchased a tesla which they use to drive to their oceanfront vacation home which they want to make sure no clear cutting occurs near as it could harm the property values. The BC greens worry that bike lanes could slow down electric vehicles, and if you think about it that's pretty anti-environment.

Even in Ontario, it seems like the NDP is mostly coasting on a pro-union reputation vs. actually proposing doing anything union friendly. The union stronghold cities are still extremely solidly NDP (Horwath got like 60% of the vote here in hamilton), but I can see that starting to bleed to the PCs if they keep up their "liberal, but orange" policies.

Ehhhh it's a bit more complicated than that - the BCNDP are way better than the federal libs on a bunch of stuff like the recent pushing for drug decriminalization, the effort to actually crack down on money laundering, a bunch of massively improved renter's rights legislation, stopped the privatisation of crown corps, the big push to educate people on First Nations history and reconciliation etc... However they completely loving suck on environmental stuff/resource extraction and are really sorta iffy on labour rights - they rolled back some of the damage the BC Libs did but haven't done much beyond that.

Getting rid of the $75/month for the Medical Service Plan was nice too. It was kind of weird being the only province that had to (directly) pay for health insurance.

At least the BCNDP brought back card check, that's pretty cool Less cool is refusing to build any meaningful amount of social housing or co-ops. Or any? Maybe one in Vancouver's river district?? E:card check means union organizers only need to get a majority of workers to sign union cards for the union to be created. In BC I believe the threshold is 55% for it to happen without going through the old bs system, which was a majority signing cards + election period in which the employer has free reign to intimidate and propagandize the workers, then election day, THEN the results to see if a union has been created or not Samuel Glompers fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jun 4, 2022 |

Vancouver rent's up 26% this year with no meaningful action bro!!! It's very strange to see them do something, but not something that meets the crisis. It spells out that they know the solution and choose not to do it

Alctel posted:Horwath is gone thank gently caress, two elections too late. At least that is one bright spot  It's also not like only blue voters turn out for the party name / colour alone. My riding was a nail-biter between the NDP incumbent who fought and spent like crazy to win, and the Liberal candidate who didn't even campaign yet got within a thousand votes of the seat. The CPC candidate looked like he currently goes to the high school up the road from his own campaign office and he still got ~25%. Also there are ~200 white supremacists and ~1000 anti-vax Don't Say Gay cry babies near me. Great neighbourhood.

Horwath would have governed to the right of Horgan 100% That is in some bizarro reality where she somehow became Premier, despite having spent the last decade proving that's an existential impossibility.
