She might get some exceptions or reductions because of her bootlicking, but keeping them is going to mean keeping up with Trump's changing demands. It's a short-sighted way that will result in a complete loss of our sovereignty - though she's probably fine with that 🙄

Why not?

Honestly just another reason that ranked choice isn't the best version of electoral reform :P

Disagree on your assessment of why PR failed, but I agree with it being the bottom of my priorities right now. Back in 2013 I voted Liberal for the first time (normally an NDP voter) purely for electoral reform - it's incredibly important for the long term health of our democracy. However, we're in an economic crisis, and I really think we need to survive the next few years before we can worry about long term health, and I think Carney is the right guy for that. I will be happy to see him replaced with someone more progressive down the road.

She specifically writes that it's no different between the Liberals and Conservatives, and goes further to say Carney would pave the road for someone worse than PP. That's just straight up delusional.

Yeah, the instructions said you could rank as many or as few as you like. I'm not sure what the effect is of not ranking someone vs ranking them 4th, aside from their internal statistics

This is how I feel (and I don't really like Singh anyway). Gould is probably my favourite candidate of the Liberals, but I think Carney is what we need to get us through tough times, so I ranked Carney first.

1. Carney
2. Gould
3. Baylis

Didn't rank Freeland because I really dislike her

Party leadership debates are always like this. However, I don't think it demonstrated how well any of these candidates would do versus PP.

I thought it wasn't adversarial enough to actually learn anything about any of them. If they went at each other more, we'd see how they'd perform against PP.

My personal highlight was Carney mentioning a portable health record. No details on the implementation, but it's nice to hear a politician talk about that.

And you think that allocation was unrelated to Trump?

Rollback all concessions we made.
