The NDP had 9 years to press the promise of PR and did nothing. Fuck em. I hope they lose party status.

MODERATORS
PR is a non-starter for the liberals, their party would completely disappear if they passed it. That's why they sabotaged/killed it even though they promised last time.
The NDP couldn't push it through even if they wanted, all it would have done is forced an election into the Conservatives.
I'm not sold on PP/PR, and I understand RCV to help liberals more, but I disagree that LPC would do poorly under PP.

The federal portion anyway.
Is the guy in the blue suit reading a book behind that sign or something?
Yep, reading something on his phone.
Lurking American here. Curious who you think will win in your gut? I understand we won't really know until results are counted. A couple of stories covered by American media (one definitely liberal leaning) I've read and listened to seems to think because of the odiousness of our president, liberals may take it? Do you think that's likely?
Honestly hard to tell, but I'd say a conservative minority is the most likely outcome.
My riding has voted NDP every time for as long as it has existed, but I expect it to flip conservative because the liberals will split the vote enough thanks to Carney's "popularity" despite their candidate here having zero chance (seriously, PPC got more votes than the liberals did last election).
Edit: Well the liberals won so that's a lot less bad. I was right about my riding though unfortunately. My vote has never counted and this election made sure that streak continued 👍.

When my special ballot hadn't shown up the local election office said that there is still a process to vote in person, you have to sign a statement saying you have not voted yet. It showed up the next day but according to them there is a process but they don't mention it unless it's really needed. It was last Thursday so I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to vote at all.
Just got this beautiful flyer hand delivered by the CPC to help me vote against the CPC:
And, if you truly don't know for who to vote: cancel your vote. Go and check every single boxes of your ballot!
There's no reason why you shouldn't go and vote, even if you want to vote for no one!
I’ve worked elections before (but currently not working this one), it’s amazing how few spoiled ballots there were.

Did someone take down 338canada.com or did we crash it?
E: Nope, it's an attack. Apparently the French version works.
