Alright then, have fun "strategically" voting for parties that have showcased a lack of interest in fixing that issue then.

...and by taking the vote away from the Green party you're ultimately leading to their dissolution and lack of effort in finding candidates for Conservatives ridings.

Which is something I've already been seeing as the Greens failed to enlist a candidate for my riding despite me wanting to give my vote and volunteer time

Copy-pasting my comment from the crosspost:

Can we stop with the "strategic voting" bullshit?

Go ahead and "strategic vote" but don't come around complaining when Canada ends up being a two-party state like our oh-so mentally sound southern neighbours.

According to the City of Calgary’s Integrity and Ethics Office annual report delivered to city councillors on Sept. 17, 2024, there were 51 complaints made under the Code of Conduct for Elected Officials Bylaw. Forty-eight of those complaints were dismissed, with the rationale being no reasonable grounds, or frivolous or vexatious. The reporting period was from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024.

That's a high ratio of complaints dismissed.

  1. Pierre Poilievre will CUT income tax by 15% to save families nearly $2000 a year. Do you want more savings?

"We are objectively right, do you agree?"

a. Yes, please top me daddy Poli

b. No, I am a fucking moron and will be giving a serious vote to the Rhinoceros Party because they base their platform on facts.

Hate to say they'll likely move to BlueSky, but at the very least it would be a good idea to have them make a bridge via Bridgy Fed.

I mean, good on there being more options I suppose, but wish they had better values.

Saw they had a candidate in my riding listed on the Elections Canada site the other day and I just can't help but feel they could be standing for better things.

Gotta love the language here implying he only sees Indigenous people as means to access resources rather than seeing them as normal people whose lives and histories should be respected.
