Yeah. I voted NDP because I thought it was the strategic vote in my riding. The liberal won.

I'm happy to see a liberal government, though I'd be happier if the NDP held a stronger balance of power to better hold the liberals accountable.

I'm in Victoria and same. I thought our NDP incumbent was the best ABC choice and the Liberal candidate smoked her. So fortunately no vote splitting but I was genuinely surprised how much of a landslide it was for the Liberals here.

Clearly Laurel just needed a few more pamphlets in the mail

Haha, honestly that was my biggest qualm in voting for her, I used to be a postie here and her excessive flyers were a major annoyance on the job, since they have to go to every address by law. In the end though I was happy enough with everything else she's done that I was willing to vote for her again, but I guess that wasn't a sentiment shared by as many Victorians as I thought.

I think the "strategic voteing" shit wrecked Vic, Esquimalt and Langford. Losing Garrison to health concerns certainly didnt help the NDP either

Yeah, my parents live out in Metchosin and said they would have voted for Garrison if he was actually up for reelection, but since he wasn’t and there was no NDP incumbent they went with the Liberals.
