I'm not sure that people voted for Carney as much as they were backed into a corner and forced to vote for him as a vote against Poilievre.
There's still the NDP.
Until we can get rid of fptp there isn't much hope
Actually, there kind of isn't? They lost their party status in the last election because Liberals don't understand how strategic voting works, and the NDP lost too many seats to Conservatives in the process.
If the threat of losing the election was to the Liberals then yes. But until we ditch fptp we're stuck with a two party system pretending to be a multi-party system.
Yep, and normally I'd say you gotta just be the change and vote for a losing party to build support.
But with what's happening in the abyss that is the States right now, taking a step backward in order to move forward feels much more dangerous than ever before.
We need electoral reform, but asking for it, and being promised it, sure hasn't been working.
Except the previous two elections had the NDP holding the balance of power?
Right??
Not to mention that by the numbers we are still in that position. It's just the Liberals chose a party leader who appears to have a specific hostility towards the NDP and would rather court the CPC for votes.
If you were backed into a corner and forced to vote for someone in the recent election, CBC news would like to hear from you.
Which alternative should I have chosen: Voting for who I want and letting Cons win, or not voting at all and letting Cons win.
Well it's up to you, but personally I tend to vote for the local candidate I'd prefer to win.
I wish I could do that, but it's not worth the risk when my local guy wins and we lose massively at a federal level, so local guy can't really do much of anything at all.
