Canada seems to be headed toward a two party system. I think it’s extremely important that we as Canadians push for electoral reform as quickly as possible.

    The left was forced to consolidate behind the liberals due to the Trump stuff. It’s just not a safe environment to split the vote right now.

      And that is why electoral reform is important; so that splitting the vote is not penalised.

        I wish 2025 was the last time I will have had to strategically vote, but it won’t be.

      I would argue if the NDP played their cards better they cooks have been the one people rallied behind.

      But they didn’t and running Singh was a one of the worst political moves by a party in Canada in my lifetime.

        I feel like we owe Singh for not giving into PP’s election demands the previous October. We’d have a Conservative majority government right now with the NDP as the official opposition, which would have really saved their asses with the debt problem they currently have. He put the good of the country ahead of himself.
