Since the NDP can't get in by themselves, our best hope is a minority red government. That way the orange can influence them for everyone's benefit like they've done this past run.

When everyone says that our best advancements have come from a minority government, I'm thinking it's really come from the coalition partner allowing that minority to stay in power.

But it's still a binary race for us and, while not as dire as America's current predicament, our biggest risk to losing the things that make us Canadian is the apathy being pushed by the Russian spammers to reduce voter turnout. Like America, it will favour the assholes and potentially could put them into power.

Get everyone voting.

I’m totally ok with a minority government with NDP keeping them in check, but I can’t risk that enough to ever vote for a con man.
