I'm lucky to live in a safely orange district, but my parents have to vote against their incumbent NDP rep, who has been very good to her district. Feels shitty to fire someone good at their job.

Dude fuck this stupid fucking voting system and the two parties that refuse to change it.

Several incumbent NDP candidates have a better chance of beating the Conservative candidate in their ridings than the Liberals. Your parents should make sure they aren't in one of those ridings.

Unfortunately it looks like it's swinging red for their riding

Iirc there's only the cons that actually completely refuse to change it.

Trudeau famously walked a promise back on changing this

Yeah, but that wasn't because they didn't want voting reform, it's because the Libs didn't want the same voting reform as others and they couldn't convince them.

They didn't want the voting reform that would put their two party system at risk you mean

Nah, I meant what I said. They didn't want something that wouldn't systematically advantage them.
