The NDP had 9 years to press the promise of PR and did nothing. Fuck em. I hope they lose party status.

MODERATORS
PR is a non-starter for the liberals, their party would completely disappear if they passed it. That's why they sabotaged/killed it even though they promised last time.
The NDP couldn't push it through even if they wanted, all it would have done is forced an election into the Conservatives.
I'm not sold on PP/PR, and I understand RCV to help liberals more, but I disagree that LPC would do poorly under PP.
The Liberals only benefit from various PR type options if we assume that new parties wouldn't form and only the existing parties are competing.
That wouldn't be the case.

Good information.
Given we live in a FPTP country, this is a worthwhile thing to consider as well: https://smartvoting.ca/ridings/federal-2025
You can look up your riding to see vote projections; you ultimately vote the system you have.

First result has come in!
God bless Labrador.
If you don't know who to vote for, I recommend using vote compass to see how closely you align to the parties.
I'm usually disappointed by the vote compass. Lately it has been putting me between the Liberals and Cons because I am ambivalent about social issues and left leaning on economic issues. If you think it is non of the government's business which race/gender you are, that is putting you on the right these days.

They've introduced a feature at the end where you can choose to weight your answers, so the social issues you don't really care about can be weighted 0 and get a more accurate result.

Lurking American here. Curious who you think will win in your gut? I understand we won't really know until results are counted. A couple of stories covered by American media (one definitely liberal leaning) I've read and listened to seems to think because of the odiousness of our president, liberals may take it? Do you think that's likely?

Bringing your voter information card with a driver's license or any other Canadian Gov't issued card with photo, name and address is like having a FastPass for voting.
Are the early polling votes from last week not counted already? Because they've called the election for liberals already but the total vote count is less than the 7.6 million that voted early...?
