We lost a lot of NDP to conservatives. Not sure if it was people "voting strategically" liberal to avoid a conservative win, or just a lot of lost faith in NDP. Probably both of those things and more.

It's a win, but it's a bitter one, when a party loses status because their supporters only flipped liberal to try to keep fascists out - and end up losing their representatives to conservatives.

We need either ranked choice or proportional representation because people shouldn't have to vote against their interests.

But fuck yeah PP lost in his riding. I hope he eats a big bag of dicks.

Strategic voting was just a delay tactic. Liberal gains came at the cost of the NDP and Bloc, not the Conservatives. The wolves of facism are circling and while we have kept them at bay for now, we did so by lighting a Liberal bonfire using the third parties as fuel, and it's not going to last forever.

Pretty sure it was vote splitting

No it's not. JD Vance's buddy got elected in Oshawa. Wouldn't be surprised if he rallies the maple Maga wing of the party around him.

IT'S NOT OVER!!!

Tim Houston needs to be watched. He has attempted to pass laws in Nova Scotia that give hiring and firing power of the auditor generals office to the sitting government. That is one of, if not the highest check in our provincial government. Here is what happened when Nova Scotians heard this...

He also has said openly and proudly in the legislature as premier of Nova Scotia:

“I don’t know many Nova Scotians that grow up thinking, ‘Boy, I hope I make minimum wage when I grow up.’ That’s not the way people think, they want real jobs,"

Hear that? Real jobs. Class war is the real war!

Scream it out with me kids

THAT'S FASCISM AND WE DON'T WANT IT!!

This guy is vying for power of a major political party in our country. Join the conservative party even if they don't agree with you. Have a voice who gets to head the party.
