I’d prefer NDP to either of the other two.

NDP for sure. I just wish Singh was able speak without feeling so hollow and empty. But, that said, they're the only party actively trying to improve Canadians lives.

Since the NDP can't get in by themselves, our best hope is a minority red government. That way the orange can influence them for everyone's benefit like they've done this past run.

When everyone says that our best advancements have come from a minority government, I'm thinking it's really come from the coalition partner allowing that minority to stay in power.

But it's still a binary race for us and, while not as dire as America's current predicament, our biggest risk to losing the things that make us Canadian is the apathy being pushed by the Russian spammers to reduce voter turnout. Like America, it will favour the assholes and potentially could put them into power.

Get everyone voting.

I’m totally ok with a minority government with NDP keeping them in check, but I can’t risk that enough to ever vote for a con man.
