On the same day Quebec vigorously defended its law promoting state neutrality and secularism in government, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared religious values can and should frame how politicians act.
It wasn’t, though. Look at where “strategic” voting has gotten us: A descent into a situation where the lesser of the two evils is almost completely indistinguishable from the greater of the two of them AND WE HAD THE NDP. THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE OPTIONS, DUMBASS.
Anyone who thinks the NDP would have been worse than the Liberals despite all of what’s happening now being fully unsurprising is deeply unserious as a person and their opinions on the matter are beyond worthless. You didn’t vote against PP, you voted against progressive ideology and I will NOT pity you for your stupid, short-sighted nonsense about “lesser of two evils”.
We didn’t avoid ANY-FUCKING-THING and all we did was reinforce the idea that progressive politics aren’t popular in this country. Everything wrong with this god-forsaken place can be directed right back at the gutless, snivelling cowards who either vote center or don’t even fucking show up at all. I am SICK AND TIRED of trying to make you idiots feel comfortable, figure it out or get out of the fucking way.

I don’t think the NDP had a snowballs chance in hell. They didn’t have a decent leader.
I’ve voted NDP most of my life. But that part lost any chance at leadership when Jack Layton died.
Jagmeet Singh wasn’t a real candidate this time.
