Recording link of the quote there’s also a link in the article but it goes to Breitbart Soundcloud account :
“Before the tariff war, I would say yes. I mean, Pierre Poilievre is the name of the Conservative Party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it’s actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals,” Smith responded. “And so that’s what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now. So I would hope that we could put things on pause is what I’ve told administration officials. Let’s just put things on pause so we can get through an election.”
Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,
No one is voting NDP unless they want the Libs to have a weak government. We need to present a unified front right now. I don’t like majority governments for Canada, but now is not the time to split the vote and present a weak mandate to Murcan elites.
I’m hoping for a Liberal majority this time around so we can more quickly respond to the shitshow down south.
No, we don’t and have never needed a majority government. A coalition of LPC, NDP, and BQ would be able to nimbly respond to American threats (because we’re all in agreement on that) while preventing a further slide into neoliberalism in the housing market.
If the Liberals gain a majority government and don’t hard pivot away from neoliberalism the CPC will be an insurmountable threat next election.
The NDP and BQ are in strong alignment in opposing American expansionism. We can do better than a Liberal majority.
I don’t agree because Monsieur Trompf is our greatest source of threat right now, and presenting him with a coalition of the willing instead of a strong leader is a mistake.
IMHO, of course.
I apologize. I wasn’t clear with my post.
I’m talking about the provincial NDP in regards to their strategy for our provincial election to get this flaming cunt out of office.
Federally, which I rarely ever vote in cause ‘Berta, I’ll be holding my nose and voting Liberal.
As another Albertan I’ve voted in every election I could have despite knowing that the CPC candidate is going to win. It’s unlikely, but I could be surprised one day.
Thanks for clarifying, and yea, we could do with more NDP seats. I wish we had proportional representation so everyone got a fair shake.
We do need to make it a priority to get rid of Smith first. Provincially, I also vote NDP and we need to bring em back for more than just one term. They were great for Alberta!
I think that’s extremely reasonable. I’d love to have MMR or another form of PR but sadly we do not have that. It’s extremely reasonable to vote strategically to keep the CPC out of power. I live in BC and my district is competitive for the LPC and NDP so I’m sure as fuck not voting LPC… but if I were in the interior I’d definitely vote for whoever had more momentum to beat the CPC candidate.
On that note… this is a time to make your voice heard advocating for voting reform to make sure the CPC never threaten a national victory without seriously reforming their platform.
