Except in clear NDP ridings, we're better off with those going to the Libs. Strategic voting sucks but it's a necessary evil without ranked ballot. NDP and Liberals if they are smart should agree to a split map where they only run one candidate between the both of them in each riding. Trudeau refusal to implement rank choice is going to hunt him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted Saturday at 07:49 AM Share Posted Saturday at 07:49 AM (edited) First Liberal MP calls on Trudeau to resign: 'for the good of our country' (msn.com) First Liberal MP calls on Trudeau to resign: 'for the good of our country' OTTAWA – Liberal MP Wayne Long has become the first member of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s caucus to call for his resignation. Long, a New Brunswick MP, penned an email letter to his caucus colleagues on Friday afternoon saying that after this week’s disastrous byelection loss in Toronto—St. Paul’s , it is time for Trudeau to step down. Another MP from Newfoundland appeared to support his message. “After reflection on this week’s defeat in Toronto—St. Paul’s and then seeing the response, I want you to know clearly and directly where I stand,” Long wrote in an email sent Friday afternoon and obtained by the National Post. “For the future of our party and for the good of our country we need new leadership and a new direction.” Long, who is not running for re-election, said the Liberals need to listen to what voters are saying. “The voters have spoken loud and clear. They want change. I agree,” he wrote. Newfoundland MP Ken McDonald responded to the emailed message in a reply-all, writing “well said!” Trudeau has repeatedly said he has no intention of stepping down , including after this week’s humiliating loss.

It would be interesting and informative, if the governments could stop anyone from other countries from posting for a couple of days. Just so people can see the difference in who is still posting. Or some way of providing the nationality of the poster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are not looking so good for the NDP. Of their 25 seats won in the last election, I think we are 7 NDP MP's have already said they won't run again. Devastating gut of 'corporate knowledge' there. Charlie Angus Ontario - returning to grass roots activism, retiring from 20 years in office. Carol Hughes Ontario - riding disolved in redistribution earlier this year wont run again Rachel Blainey North Vancouver island - won't run again sources cite the north tip of the island will go BLUE next election, she chose to not run vs lose outright. Randall Garrison Sooke, Esquimalt, Sidney retiring in his mid 70s Richard Cannings (i don't know much off the top of my head but he won't run again) Daniel Blaikie left in March to join Wab Kinew's team in the Manitoba Legislature. I am sure there was another one, but can't quite recall now... ahh yes Nikki Ashton is likely tossed from office in the next election, i think that is the 7th one i was thinking about Quote NDP's Ashton pays back some money from Christmas trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only going to get worse Under Truduea senior and Mulroney Canada sold out to corporate profits and legislatively helped de unionize the private sector which lead to nearly all private employer pension and retired benefit plans ending The result is millions of canadians now retiring with nothing but CPP and OAS to live off This is the real reason so many of them are now living in RV's at rest stops Over the last 10 years the first wave of those who worked entire careers with only the cpp Retired and are living off any savings and the equity in their houses NOW we have those who not only worked an entire career with only cpp but ALSO have been under the wage controls and austerity held up by conservative governments... These poor workers at.ethr first to hit retirement with debt and only cpp , OAS .... This is the natural consequence of out of control capitalism that has given us the highest corporate profits in our history along with record numbers of billionaires.... And somehow the highest consumer debt in our history In the next 20 years OAS will outpace healthcare in costs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
