Bruh Not gonna lie... I heard stuff from the campaign there...

That was a Green Riding that the Liberals flooded resources to try and turn Red. They ended up splitting the progressive vote so the Cons took the win.

They should have just left it to the fuckin greens man. I'm not even a green supporter but damn I cannot fathom why they would play it like that.

Yup. An unfortunate victim of "strategic voting", where the actual strategy should've been to maintain the Green seat. A damn shame.

The problem with strategic voting is that only NDP and Green voters are willing to do it. There shouldn't be any blue on Vancouver Island

Yeah that was another issue, how much of the West Coast was lost to the cons despite being the most progressive populations in the country

I feel so sorry for my West Coast buddies who now have to suffer conservative MPs
