It's a decently effective strategy. Essentially these MPs have to shut up until Canadian voters hand them the keys, then they can do whatever they want because they promised very little.

While they stay meek, oil money is being flooded in hyping up Poilievre and the conservatives in extremely generic terms. I'm no strategist so I have no idea how you counteract that.

Trudeau and Singh need to work something out very, very soon, because 24% + 18% of the vote = 24% of the seats in FPTP math.

My thoughts are we need someone like Notley or Beck, a highly respected Prairies NDP member, who are progressive but also in touch with issues that matter with rural people.

This is my issue. YouTube keeps spamming me his stupid pointless videos where he does and says nothing but attacks on trudeau. Like dude...who gives a damn, wtf are you going to do?

It's just annoying as all hell. I don't want to see these pointless speeches of literally nothing. Talk about going forward and what you plan to do, otherwise I will assume you're just an ass wanting to ruin everything.

They already promised to make a few key issues "their priority" and "fix it".

For a large part of the voter base, that's enough of a promise.

This type of leadership is not likely to change after an election win.

We know exactly how Pierre plans to run the country because we already had Harper as PM. It will be the same if Pierre becomes PM.

There really isn't a solid strategy against what the Conservatives are doing outside of passing legislation that helps the problems they keep parroting and communicating what is happening clearly to the population.

One half of the strategy is being blocked by the Conservatives in the house as they tie up proceedings with privilege debates, and the other half is a serious weak spot with the Liberals in general as they don't seem to know how to communicate effectively.

We will see how effective the strategy Conservatives are using post federal election because as it stands we cannot really say it is effective when the Conservatives are the only party campaigning making polling numbers lean dramatically one way.
