Unless the commies have a chance of winning I will vote NDP. No matter how hard they suck.....

My city (Nanaimo) hasn't elected a Liberal since WWII, but apparently they're the "strategic" vote now. I have my doubts.

In any case, while a Conservative win would be a disaster, a Liberal majority would suck too, especially if the genocide against the Palestinians is a key issue for you. Domestically, I don't look forward to them being unchecked by the NDP either.

My riding is the same. Been NDP for the last almost 20 years. We only have the 3 parties(NDP, libs and cons) running here as well. So unless I spoil my ballot(which is tempting some days) I throw mine to the NDP MP.

"Strategic voting" in a place that libs often place below NDP and Greens is so lame. It's a riding libs can afford to lose "strategically" if they aren't proposing better policies than the NDP or Greens.
