The Liberal Party led by Mark Carney continues to gain momentum in week two of election campaigning (46%, +2), opening a double-digit lead over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives (34%, -4 pts) among decided voters.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah, but many still support palestine. https://votepalestine.ca/candidates

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.

And that's how the election is lost...

It's when candidate avoid certains questions and positions thst make undecided people not vote for that party

This reads like a conservative tactic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And you look like someone considering parties as cults

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.
