I've never voted liberal, never liked chretien when I was young. Voted cons to give them a minority back in the day, saw what they did and said never fucking again. And have voted other parties since. But god damn, I'm going to vote for mark Carney.

Not that my 86% conservative voting region will give a fuck.

I generally don't vote liberal, usually NDP. When the parties aren't really that much different from each other I don't mind putting my vote towards a long shot.

But right now, when the options are

  1. Sell Canada out to Trump
  2. Not the above

I'm basically obligated to ensure #2 wins

Lol are you from rocky mountain house as well

Based on Carney’s speech, he’s aiming to take votes from both the NDP and the conservatives.

Yah which is good. But around here the conservative candidate could literally kill the voters parents and they would still vote for them. We have so many traitors its not even funny. Ive been inundated with pro trump wanting to be the 51st state fucks.

I've noted them and if the war ever begins I have a very long list of people I am dragging out and executing in the fucking streets.

Ive been inundated with pro trump wanting to be the 51st state fucks.

That’s a thing?

Is it new, or was the sentiment around before Trump floated the idea?

Ive had trump 2024 flags around since 2020. Like I said I've made a list and people will be dragged into the street. But not until we reach a point of no return for these traitors.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

But did they actually want to become a 51st state?

I’m curious because, from my perspective in the US, this came out of the blue. But the idea is less random if some MAGA Canadians were ostensibly asking for it before.

Sadly, I do not think he will pull many conservatives. All he needs to do though is hold them to the 30% of wing it’s who love the blue and to pull enough NDP votes to win.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There’s loads of voters who go from conservative to liberal and vice versa - case in point - look at Ontario. Goes conservative provincially, now almost guaranteed to go liberal federally.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 0 points 5 hours ago

Clearly.

However, look at the polls before and after the recent swing in Liberal fortunes. There is little movement in the conservatives. It mostly a shift to Liberal from NDP.

So the Liberals have gotten back people protesting the Liberals, not people the genuinely like the Conservatives.
