Cadpol
I wonder what kind of morning Pierre Poilievre is having.
re: Cadpol
It would not be inaccurate to call the LPC rise in the polls "meteoric".
re: Cadpol
@mos_8502 I'm a bit sad it's cannibalizing NDP votes to do so as well, but at least we got a good few seats in Ontario
re: Cadpol
@elfi I think it's to do with risk aversion on the part of NDP voters. Nobody on the left or centre wants PP.
re: Cadpol
@elfi A lot of LPC voters would be perfectly happy with an NDP MP, but won't risk a Tory win to support one.
re: Cadpol
@mos_8502 Yeah, weaponized voter apathy is what got us Ford again, we need to cut that attack surface off
re: Cadpol
@elfi Voting in Canada is so simple and quick that making it mandatory is less of a burden than paying HST.
re: Cadpol
@elfi That said, Election day should be a statutory holiday, with mandatory paid time off to vote for anyone working on election day.
re: Cadpol
@elfi I advocate approval voting, because it requires the fewest changes. Vote for as many candidates as you want, and whoever gets the most votes wins, being acceptable to the most people. This would disincentivize extremism on the part of candidates.
I also want voting to be mandatory.
