The Liberals are now projected to win a majority in Canada's next federal election According to 338Canada, the Liberals are now projected to win Canada's next federal election and form a majority government.

So I am an NDP supporter. I am sorry to sacrifice the NDP for the fed election, but it is just toooo important after watching the shitshow in the USA .
So, NO STRATEGIC VOTING THAT SPLITS THE LEFT.
Let's give Carney his mandate with a solid MAJORITY!!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

Clay Thompson - Pierre Poilievre went to Canada's North, made promises about the North, without talking to the leaders of the North.
Mark Carney sat down for tea and listened to the leaders of the North. That's Leadership. See the difference, Canada?

May all beings be happy
All beings without exception
Weak or strong, omitting none
Great or mighty, seen & unseen
Near & far
Born or yet unborn
May all beings be happy
Let no one deceive another
Or despise anyone anywhere
Or in anger wish another harm
May all beings be happy
