    Since liberal winning is pretty much assured. I will vote for either npd or green for supporting palestine

      If it’s a two horse race in your riding between CPC and NDP or Green, that would make sense. If the CPC is polling very low in your riding, it would also make sense. If however it’s a two horse race between CPC and LPC, then you may be helping PP to another seat.

          I’m not that person and our election isn’t the same. I respect people who don’t want to do what I want to do, or what I think they should do, and I don’t belittle or shame people into any of that. If I or a party wants to get someone else to do something, they have to present a convincing argument for that. If people don’t do what the party wants them to do, the blame should fall primarily if not exclusively on the party. In the context of our election, as a fellow voter, all I am doing is sharing my opinion of what I think the objectives of likeminded people should be and how I think we should achieve them. If you feel unconvinced, either I haven’t conveyed that well enough (I definitely haven’t), or you might be of significantly different opinion, but either way, I’m not gonna shame you for not agreeing with my opinion. ☺️

        Then again, voting liberal may make the status quo party feel they have that much more of a “mandate”.

          For sure. But we can’t finely target the vote in FPTP. So all depends on what makes sense for a particular riding. But in any case as they begin to govern, the Liberals favourability is going to fall.

        NDG is very liberal. There’s zero chance for CPC to win it’s 68% vs 18% and the liberal candidate in NDG is anti palestine

          Go NDP or Green then. I’d probably go NDP in such situation.

          My riding is solid CPC v LPC race with NDP clocking at single digits so I’m gonna have to go LPC.

      Didn’t the ndp just very publically fire and shame someone for propalestine sentiment?

      Yeah, because that’s a wise move given the current situation…sounds like vote splitting propaganda. In the current state of affairs, nothing is assured, use your vote to make it as sure as you can.

          Not at all, but I do think astrosurfing and other tactics are a thing and I want to be sure we stay alert. Sorry if you were being legitimate.
