    Singh just stepped down and hopefully the change will mean more potential for the NDP in the next election.

    I’m Indigenous Canadian and I fully wish that we could have a country and a political environment where we could support and stand by a visible minority to represent a major political party. But I have to temper that with the knowledge that our country is not fully ready for that kind of person. As much as we would like to believe that we could become a more progressive, open and accepting culture, we are still not there and it will be a few more decades or lifetimes before that can become a reality.

    It would be more possible if we actually had an election system that was more representative of our people’s wishes … Proportional Representation would make it more possible to have major political leaders and politicians who represented visible minorities.

    “We denied a Liberal NDP coalition.”
    NDP immediately gains a seat, allowing coalition.

        Still awake for this.

        In all seriousness, even if he loses his seat he’ll get elected in another riding. They’ll push a con to resign in a safe riding and PP will run there. It could happen quickly too. The question is whether the party is going to kick him out or not.

          I’m literally too excited to sleep haha! We’re gonna have a productive government that will catch up to the most advanced countries in the world. We will keep and expand upon dentalcare and pharmacare.

      This might be the most interesting thing so far, actually, with the orange-blue swing votes in second place.

      Poilievre could leave this as a freshly minted lobbyist: His first normal job.

      Though I’m pretty sure that MAGA north pivoted to the CPC the same way the NDP broke for the Liberals.

      Singh just announced he is stepping down as party leader.

      I dont believe the hype. I think he’d have been great.

        I don’t dislike Singh but I don’t think he was a good leader.

        I don’t think he saw his own failures coming, but I’ve been saying for a while this would happen.

        I don’t think he did a good enough job getting the message out to the working class, and that needs to be the NDP foundation. Unless it’s a worker party, what actually separates it from the greens?

        I actually do like most of their platform, and the platform is bold. I Also like that he did push for dental and pharma, but as released those programs are a huge frustration to me.

          I think he performed well in the debates. I wouldn’t be surprised if the NDP has trouble filling his shoes. Though they may be able to by picking someone who is more ‘demographically palatable’ to the average Canadian.

    I may as well get to bed, but I wish I would know before if the NDP will have enough seats to prop up an LPC minority. I’d hate to see the LPC+NDP be one or two seats short, leaving the CPC/BQ with enough votes to stymie everything. Right now it’s sitting at 170 combined, need 172 or more to make it work.

      LPC+NDP could be 171 and be ok on current numbers, with the 1 GRN projected reaching a majority without needing BQ. Still…they’re 1 short of that.

        We’ve still got those advance polls keeping things in flux, though. A Liberal majority hasn’t even been ruled out.

          Have there been estimates of how many advance polls there have been, as a percentage of estimated overall turnout?

            I’m going to bed pretty quick, but CBC just said that it’s about a 2,000 voter jump for the left when that advanced poll comes in, based on the ridings that are done. So, about 1.6% in a 125,000 person riding, or actually more because voting isn’t mandatory.

            As a percentage of turnout, not off the top of my head. It was 7.2 million advance voters in a nation of 41.7 million, though. So, a lot.

        1 short may as well be 2 short, because the house will elect a liberal speaker and reduce the vote number one more. But, whatever will happen is set in stone, waiting to be counted. I don’t know why I engage with this as if its a story unfolding, like I can influence it by watching.

          Oh, is that not built-in to the 172 requirement? In Australia we always talk about a requirement of 76 seats to win an election, because 75 after the speaker is selected is able to have control of Parliament. I assumed the CBC and others were doing the same here.

          edit: actually, just ran the numbers. 343 seats total, minus one for speaker, halved is 171. Assuming Canadian speakers follow Speaker Denison’s Rule, exactly half isn’t enough, so you need 172. So it looks like it is built in.

      the article I read about him said that he left his job to raise his children fulltime while his wife worked. then goes on to say his children are well into their post-secodary degrees so he’s been renovating his house and talking everyone’s ear off about how great it is because of its greenness. One of the things he’d like to do as MP is help other people renovate their houses the same way he did.

      Losing to Carney, a serious member of the financial class is one thing. But losing to full time parent of 2 adults, who loves eco-friendly home renos is another thing. It’s interesting that neither men has held a conventional job in 20 years. Not to mention the dynamics (esp gender) of one of them having spent the time being a homemaker and the other being a brainwrecker.
