Seriously 14 NDP switch in East to run for the GREEN!

I agree its not ideal but we can win when the left vote is spread around. Better they should flee Jughead and vote for Dizzy than Sock Boy. Our only hope now is turnout. If the Libs stay home - which a lot of them will - there's still a shot but we'll need everybody to show up. Unfortunately I'm afraid the most likely outcome is a coalition but historically they don't last long.

I am thinking/hoping that Greens and NDP lose party status after this election. Surely Canadians are smart enough to see the reason behind the green BS.

I also wish the conservatives would have picked a real leader-very disappointed in near zero so far. Trudeau would have been a sitting duck for Maxime or Rona.

Elizabeth May is the Most intelligent of any of the leaders.
Heard an in depth interview with her and she is impressive.
During the Previous governments Habit of passing Omnibus Bills she Actually Read thru the voluminous bills .
unlike my local mp who Simply stuck up his hand to vote with his party.. not knowing what he was even voting for.
He now realizes voting FOR a SEED Tax was not good thing but oh well he just rides off in to sunset with a Golden pension

haha mustard, maybe the weather is getting to you. Look at her bloody platform. Its a full shutdown of Canada.

And lets review her famous drunk quotes stating Omar Khadr is better than anyone in the HoC. Or the other doozy we need to transition off FF in 3 months.

She is a nutbar who should be nowhere near the levers of power.

If Andrew has to make a deal, go with the bloc Quebecois. They will get 14 seats.

You think Lizzy is impressive, you can’t be serious?

If Andrew has to make a deal with the Quebec separatist party were screwed.

I thought the lefty commies were supposed to be “inclusive “?

Don’t you think this’ll be a boon for the Conservatives anyway? Could very well see the greens doing the job Layton did when Harper came to power and it will come at the expense of the NDP and liberals. This time the split will be seen more so in English Canada. This will be Mays election to win more seats. I think there’s lots that want to turf Trudeau but hate Sheer. The ndp is toast. The conservative vote will be a lot more disciplined and although not an overwhelming plurality will show up at the box. The liberal vote is the unknown. This is Trudeau’s to lose.

Kiwi's call the Green party the Watermelon Party, Green on the outside, Red on the inside.

The vote split in the left only works to a certain degree. Its not like the old PC Reform split was. That was very regional so it didn't take much splitting to create a lib majority.

On the left, NDP and Greens have to be held to low double digit support. Lib support is rock solid at 25-28%. And it has to be pretty widespread. A majority for CPC is a hard path that why Sheer is walking a very soft line. That's why he may have to deal with the devil Bloc to keep skippy in check. Or else see if Kenny can walk the talk.
