So many ridings where Liberals could’ve voted NDP or NDP voted Liberals to keep the Cons out. Sigh.
At least we didn’t elect the fascist-lite option but they still got way too many seats for comfort. Still, we’re better off than where we would’ve been had we gone to the polls in the Fall 🇨🇦💪🏻

“A Strategic Vote Is Still A Vote
There are key ridings — where New Democrats are the best choice to beat Conservatives.
These will be close races, and the reasonable desire to vote for Mark Carney could tip the balance for Pierre Poilievre.
We can’t let that happen.”

Polls don't vote. People do. Take nothing for granted in this historic election my friends.
We need to stop MAGA MAPLE while ensuring there is a progressive presence in Canada's palrliament.
Your vote matters.

Am I just a cynic? Every pundit keeps mentioning how PP was so genuine in the last minutes of the English debate because he tried to squeeze out a tear & imitate a human. I thought it was so fake/rehearsed I laughed out loud. Wtf am I missing here? 🤷🏼♀️

Whoa, Poilievre's announcement today:
He would invoke the notwithstanding clause to overturn a Supreme Court ruling and make sure multiple murderers die in prison.
This would make him the first prime minister to override the Charter using the notwithstanding clause.
Aiieee

As much as we want Carney to defeat PP (& given that math doesn’t realistically mean NDP can form government even if that’s your preference), we still need to vote strategically.
