If you’re voting strategically ABC, make sure that the Liberals actually have the strongest contender in your riding based on the polls.
There are a lot of NDP / Conservative battleground ridings that the Liberals will never pick up.

This!! don't just blindly vote Lib, some riding lib doesn't stand a chance.
Just gonna drop this here
I don’t trust most of these websites to give an objective answer for most people’s ridings. Better to spend a bit more time and look at the poll data and riding’s history yourself.
While I agree with you, it's tough to get most people to click beyond a headline or open a statistics database for a bunch of easily disprovable commonly held beliefs (aka "common sense"); even if it's to just start thinking about this stuff (and hopefully eventually apply and cross-check), I still view tools like these as a boon.
This right here
I'll be strategically voting liberal this time because of the MAGA traitor PP. He would sell Canada in a heartbeat to Trump's regime.
Once Milhouse is dealt with I will not be voting liberal ever again. Not that my vote matters really. My riding is 100% liberal.
I really don't give a shit how unpopular Jagmeet is. I am a socialist. I don't like the liberals. They're centrists. I will vote for the centrist to keep fascism at bay.
Centrists are fascist enablers though. But I get how you feel.
Democracy is fascism enablement in general sadly.
Thank you for voting strategically. It would be great to see people wake the fuck up and see the NDP become the official opposition. The conservatives should be banished to the basement of parliament
If you're in a battleground, like some of Alberta's municipalities this year, make it count.
I guarantee that when the next election rolls around, you'll once again be voting liberal to keep fascism at bay.
Just as the system intends. We need electoral reform as part of the solution out of this cycle. Our politics often mirror some of the USA (2 party system, right vs left, candidates spend most of their time bad mouthing each other, no follow through on election promises) , given their current state, we should be doing everything we can to distance ourselves and our systems from theirs.
I'm pretty much in the same boat but luckily my riding is a safe NDP vote so I don't have to worry about being strategic.
I am obviously hoping for Carney this time around though. I'd vote for an (evil even) inanimate carbon rod over PP. Hopefully the NDP can choose a new leader and really take off next election
I’m feeling conflicted this year. I’ve been an NDP voter since as long as I was old enough to vote. This year I’m leaning Liberal.
My riding is polling strong red so while it doesn’t make a statistical difference I want to show the NDP that I’m not confident in their leadership or partisanship. I love their policies but it’s time for Jagmeet and similar ineffective MPs to make way for stronger leaders.
I voted for NDP. My province voted for Conservative, so we are getting Dougie Ford in ON, again. :/
There might be a ghost of a chance that the Liberals win in my riding so I'm going to go for them.
That's pretty much where I'm at as well. My riding is currently blue, and every piece of mass-mail propaganda I've gotten from the current MP has used a lot of words to say an awful lot of nothing.
I've generally voted NDP, but they need to make some leadership changes. I don't believe that the current NDP leadership would be effective in handling the overgrown toddler running the show in the US, and PP would hand us to him on a silver platter. I don't actively dislike Carney so far, so at least that's something.
Yeah, the NDP kind of need to get crushed in this election so we can clear out the dead wood. We need a reborn and revitalized NDP to meet the current moment.
I absolutely disagree with that statement.
The Liberals are going to bring more of the same. What we need is a strong coalition with both the Liberals and NDP to push the Liberals to work for the little guy for once.
I'm tired of having a party that does nothing but work for corporations, who can't think outside the box and do nothing for the working class.

I kind of agree, but there's a substantial chance the NDP will insist on misinterpreting the results as meaning they should pull even farther to the relative center, even though it's their base they are losing.
On the other hand, the NDP implosion in NB opened the window for a stronger Green party with no more splitting of left-leaning votes. That party now more effectively represents both environmental concerns and labor. So far, that's seeming like a pretty harmonious pairing of interests, with a largely shared base.
I'm good with the NDP either shaping up or getting out of the way.

That's why, if you want the NDP (or whatever party you are closest aligned with) to make better policy choices, you should become an active member of the party and get involved long before an election.
Look, I wish I could give you an ironclad guarantee of how things will shake out, but that ain't how this shit works.
The NDP as they are now are incapable of rising to this moment. They need to be replaced by something that is. Maybe that works out, maybe it doesn't. Playing it safe has gotten us fucking nowhere. I'd rather take the swing.

Read Sale of a Country by Shelley Ann Clarke
If for no other reasons at all I think Canadians should vote Liberal for these two stances from their 2021 platform:
- 0 or lower emissions by 2050
I think climate change is a much more immediate concern than most people realize, there simply is no excuse to throw the future away over lesser social concerns.
- Taxing people who make more than 49k a Minimum non-deductible 15%, as a method of preventing the use of loopholes to pay 0% effective rates by the wealthiest of Canadians.
I think the 49k Canadian Dollars is a bit low for the bar to be, but if it taxes the rich then everyone below the 1% gains more from this policy than they lose.
But I'm not Canadian. Ya'll do you.
there simply is no excuse to throw the future away over lesser social concerns.
You underestimate just how selfish people can be

The Cons have lied through their teeth for decades, but specifically since Mulroney. He followed Reagan around like a lapdog and did his bidding. NAFTA never should have been signed.

I agree liberals dont make tha same mistake as your american equivalents. Make sure your candidates running actually gives people reasons to vote for your candidate.
Dont think you can just goose step to the party line of no change for the working class. Dont try to deny and support a genocide. Dont think the other candidate sucking is sufficient for you to brow beat people to vote for your candidate.
If there's a group asking for a change that you might not technically agree with but doesnt harm people do it anyways
