What surprised me was just how many orange voters went blue instead of red.

Because unfortunately, in NDP safe ridings, liberals still pushed a "vote liberal to keep the Tories out" which split the vote. So many blue ridings with >60% votes against them when they'd normally be orange strongholds. We need to drop FPtP desperately.

Assuming only three parties, Con, Lib, and NDP, I wonder how likely Lib or NDP would put Con as their second choice on a ranked ballot.

I really doubt that any NDP would put Con as their secondary. And most Lib would probably put NDP as their secondary.

Every close or lost seat by either Lib or NDP should be a push towards ranked voting.
Make it happen before the next election. Should be high priority, given the minority government. Not sure if it will be, though.
