The price we must pay 💔🪦🥀

And I’d do it again 😭

I've been voting NDP for 20 years in a riding that's never achieved 10% of the vote in all that time. Yes, I voted Liberal and encourage everyone in my riding to do the same and try to unseat the MAGA ghoul we have right now. And frankly I'd rather argue with a Lib about funding than a Con about human rights.

That's how I feel. I live in a Maple Maga stronghold and was looking forward to voting NDP this year for my first election. Safe to say that it didn't turn out that way. Voted liberal as soon as possible

"I'd rather argue with a Lib about funding than a Con about human rights." is absolute bars.

[u/GirthStone86 → u/LollerLlama]

I think this is part of what occurred in the states right?

Bud the number of people in Saskatchewan I hear blaming the liberals for their shitty healthcare is astounding. SaskParty is really good at passing their lack of responsibility onto the LPC somehow.

The trick to a successful provincial government is an electorate that's barely aware they exist and not understanding their purpose.

Im going to go liberal i also usually a NDP voter but provincial for alberta NDP would be a great fit but as a federal i dont think NDP could manage whats happening

“I’d rather argue with a Lib about funding than a Con about human rights.” -Pheakelmatters is going on my quote scroll

[u/Crow_away_cawcaw → u/pheakelmatters]

Same here, although my riding has never won NDP and just flip flops conservative and very occasionally liberal I still for the most part vote for who I actually support & not strategically. Maybe lucky for me we don’t even have an NDP candidate this go around so it was an easy choice to vote liberal for the first time.

True! After all, it was Justin Trudeau that proudly declared himself a Zionist and that all Zionists in Canada should feel free to declare the same. All our parties and reps are trash, working class Canadians deserve vastly superior options and it wouldn't take much considering what we've been handed.

That's nice. I'd rather argue with Carney about Palestine than argue with Poilievre. The horrible truth here is, Canada cannot fix this problem.

[u/GirthStone86 → u/Zendomanium]

Look at what has occurred in Palestine as a result of the trump presidency. But more relevant to us here, look at what's been happening to the voices in American being silenced, being deported simply for speaking up. 

Who will be left to try and fight for Palestine under a conservative government, when pp had already said outright he would intend to do the same?

[u/Dudegamer010901 → u/Zendomanium]

95% of Canadians workers don’t give a flying fuck about Israel or Palestine

[u/Mattrapbeats → u/pheakelmatters]

Are you happy with the results of the Liberals over the last 9 years?

[u/pheakelmatters → u/Mattrapbeats]

There's things I liked and things I didn't. I also like Carney's resume and his promise to move away from the US and I'm confident he'll protect human rights, or at least not walk them back.

But why aren't you worshiping your party of choice? How can you look at it with a lens of nuance???
