Yeah. I don’t know why everyone is fawning over Mark Carney. He is small ‘c’ conservative. There’s nothing he plans to do that’s actually going to alleviate the burden on the middle class.
That’s why I’m voting NDP next election. I don’t care that Jagmeet Singh is not popular. Their party’s plaform is exactly what we need right now. But nobody wants to acknowledge them as a real alternative to conservatives. No one is giving them any media attention also. So it’s hard for them to deliver their message.
Another way to look at it is that we thought there was no way to avoid a conservative government. Mark Carney has brought back the possibility that somebody else could win.
What will stop Mark Carney from winning will be if too many people vote NDP. If that happens, we get Pollievre. That is just the math.
Personally, I do not like to vote to send a message or complete a survey. I like to try to pick the best available government.
As a candidate to win, the NDP is not one of the options this election. You have two choices. Please pick one.
If your number two choice is going to win, picking the opposition is a viable strategy. However, if your last place pick is going to win, maybe vote for whoever has the best chance of beating them (otherwise you are choosing your last place pick).
Canadian system is that you just vote for your single riding. NDP and Green opposition to Liberal preferred voting reform (they were too quick to give up on) means your wrong narrative is what the media BSs Canadians into understanding.
The reality is that some ridings will have stronger NDP than Liberal chances, and in such ridings voting Liberal can split the vote to let PC win. You as a voter are forced to independently seek polls or other indicators of which of the 2 might be the strongest candidate, because the main media will be of zero help in preventing PC relevance.
Singh has so little charisma the media just passes right over him. He says all the right words but has no genuine feeling behind it. I’m afraid I’ll have to vote for less evil again which fucking sucks.
The thing is, they don’t get the job done. And one of their jobs is to win over the hearts and minds of the electorate, and they can’t even make small inroads on that when people are frustrated and ready for change.
The party has presented no clear vision for voters to latch on to, and I say this as someone who volunteers for them.
They got the dental care added to the social medical insurance coverage as a third party. That’s a pretty good accomplishment.
Again, I feel like the media doesn’t give them enough coverage, and when they do, it’s never really in their favor.
In any case. I agree with you that he lacks something. He’s too “normal” I guess? Not loud enough? Not aggressive enough? People expect some kind of super star. But I believe in the party’s platform and I sincerely believe it’s the right path to take.
If you take the time to look at their platform, you’ll see they want to strengthen the middle class and improve our quality of life. Bring back the spirit of solidarity between middle class Canadians and give everybody a chance to have a better life and a better future. Unlike neo-liberals and conservatives who only care about counting beans and hoarding profits for their corporate friends at the cost of our social services, food security, environment, etc. I’m sick of it. And I know you are too.
The only way to turn things around in our favor is by voting NDP in my opinion.
No one is giving them any media attention also. So it’s hard for them to deliver their message.
Last time I checked their YouTube channel, it was sparse. They barely seem to have a presence. That was around a year ago, so maybe they’ve rectified that.

We can still get a minority conservative government. End up with another coalition. That could work great too.

I think there’s general antipathy towards Poilievre. It feels like classic Anyone But the Conservatives.
Carney doesn’t have a history with Trudeau, so the hope is that he can steal a victory from the Conservatives.
Singh has so little charisma the media just passes right over him. He says all the right words but has no genuine feeling behind it. I’m afraid I’ll have to vote for less evil again which fucking sucks.
So we’re going to ignore a whole party and it’s values and objectives because the leader has no charisma?
I don’t really care about charisma as long as they get the job done.
Lucky for me they tend to be my reps. In my riding(s) not voting NDP means voting for a candidate that cannot win
Mine is a toss up between liberal, NDP and bloc québécois
I understand, but most people vote by how they perceive a person. Basically elections are a popularity contest, which is unfortunate.

I’m talking more about regular media. News channels. Etc.
