PR was their idea to begin with. Greens and NDP ran with it.
I often wonder whether MMPR would help or hurt.
The Cons have a dependable 35%ish voting bloc that will pick them every time.
The remaining 65% would be split among LPC, GPC, NDP and PPC. Would any of these beat that 35% and form government?
jesus christ the green vetting process must be seriously broken if it allowed shithead like this to go through.
also don't read the comments
Liberal antisemite quit 2 weeks ago
NDP wife beater quit yesterday
Green islamaphobe quits today
we are just missing the Conservatie pee in a cup candidate to quit

Any national housing strategy that doesn't include at minimum a couple billion in construction costs to build new supply is fundamentally useless. The reason costs are high is because there is no supply. That's the truth, and refusal to acknowledge that is the problem and why things are as bad as they are.
With how bad things are, it'll take 5-10 years for it to even begin to make a difference. And every year they delay is another year that gets added to how long to fix this fucked up situation.

Honestly, all the parties seem to have pretty poor vetting. You'd think it would be easier with social media.
The Liberal housing program that starts in 2020 commits 40 billion dollars over 10 years to build new inventory and refurbish old stock that was previously vacant due to neglect. THere's already money committed to build new stock.
My wife ordered a GREEN PARTY front lawn sign. It's going to be fun because we live rural and I remember the whole area littered with PC PARTY signs before
we moved here.
She does not even follow politics (and I'm not even allowed to vote). It's a total "WE ARE NOT LIKE YOU!" move from my 40 year old toddler wife.

Liberal candidate in my riding isn't putting signs on lawns to save plastic
Will put signs out on main streets though

Wait, why do The_Donald users even know or care about a Canadian election? We're not USAUSAUSA...
Given that I'm a Vancouverite and all Vancouverites are obsessed with housing, I could definitely do an effort post about how the Liberal housing platform is totally inadequate but I'm at work right now so, for now I'll just drop this image that I think gives some perspective about what the Liberals have promised in comparison to the historical status quo. Maybe later this evening I can follow this up with some more articles from the front lines of the problem in Vancouver.
It is really good that the Liberals are getting back into housing, but once again they're simply improving on the low bar of previous administrations and not really tackling the issue with the gusto required to solve our systemic problems in a timely way.

They are made out of (fair trade) Quinoa so you can have a nice meal after voiting for MOTHER EARTH.
That's putting it lightly.
And no matter who wins, right-wingers are gonna be insufferable post-election.
Trudeau wins? "THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED!"
Scheer wins? "SUCK IT, LIBTARDS!"
Herle Burly podcast has been pretty good the past 2 episodes.
Includes a couple of strategists from Libs and Cons talking about the election. It's pretty level headed absent of partisan pot shots.

I thought they would like Trudeau, since he's clearly more Alpha/Chad with the Staceys than the President, who is clearly a cuck in comparison. If it's all about Respecting The Power Of Chad With Women, why don't they like Trudeau more? Where's the ideological consistency in this?
This is my first time really following twitter during an election. The amount of far right shit heads scare me. How are there red "Make Trudeau a Drama Teacher Again" hats already?
He marches in gay pride parades.
The brigading is strong on all sides. Twitter is not a good barometer of national sentiment. I wouldn't be surprised if there are bot amplifications going on with the allegations levelled at UCP. I wouldn't bother with twitter's political side.
Ideological consistency and the right wing is like oil and water.
They like Trump because he's a dumbass like they are who fell upwards. Trudeau represents everything they don't have and they hate it.
It's harder in that there is simply more to look through now and back in the day the average dipshit couldn't post the bile online where it would stay forever.
Yah parties now have to go through their social media accounts all the way back since forever and make sure they didn't say anything objectionable.
Because people like this buy them.
WTF is a retired volunteer?
Liberal Party Leader Justin Trudeau said if re-elected his government would introduce new measures aimed at improving housing affordability, which would include a federal speculation tax on non-residents.
YES YES! Fuck Foreign Non-Residents who are just gobbling everything up.

<<Le Parti vert accueille à bras ouverts les nationalistes, les souverainistes, les gens de toutes les couleurs, parce que nous, on croit que la prochaine élection fédérale, c'est un peu comme un référendum sur le climat. On veut des gens de toutes allégeances fixes pour une allégeance temporaire au Parti vert.
Pierre Nantel, candidat du Parti vert >>
ENGLISH translation translated by me
""The Green Party opens its arms to nationalistes, sovereignists, people of all colours, because we believe that the next Federal Election is like a Referendum on climate. We want people of all allegiances fixated on a TEMPORARY ALLEGIANCE to the Green Party."
Pierre Nantel, candidate for the Green Party (notice that he omits the word CANADA)
LOL, so his statement clearly contradicts May's words from yesterday.
*Oh, some of you guys still owe me an apology
Okay, thats good to see. Because its really what makes or breaks a national housing strategy. Just doing subsidies, tax credits and free money for homebuyers would have worked, somewhat, a decade ago. But with how far we've tossed the can down the road, it alone is no longer a valid option to really tackle this problem.
Not a surprise that you still don't understand my criticism of you.
I think it's fair game to make fun of party leaders and former party leaders.

No peeing in cups yet

"Why they make so much money when they get the entire summer off?"
And yet these parents, who grew up under Harris, voted for Ford so... shrug emoji.
People didn't think Ford would do this and ignored all warnings.
Remember how in 2014 the Tim Hudak said they'd cut 500,000 public jobs through attrition? They lost out against Wynne.
Ford didn't say anything and people bought the "my folks, my friends" crap.

Yah. I think it's meant to complement the program. Obviously it's no magic bullet but there is some movement in that direction.
Anyone watching the debate? I don't have cable.
it's a damn shame the the Federal Government can't build Hospitals
another argument to abolish provinces

Do you have any evidence to show that people in their 30s voted largely conservative? Because I can't find anything that shows that.
Scheer needs to get dunked on here
Mad Max should've been here, would've been great for the right to fight

It's common for candidates to promise shit that they can't jurisdically deliver.
But c'mon, they are polling really low,
It's okay
