Canadian Federal Election Officially Underway

I'm voting Liberal.

Which party's platform includes joining the US so the fuckhead incompetents from all the major parties in Canada don't turn us into a third-world shithole?

While I think the popular vote will only be a few points different between the Liberals and Conservatives, Trudeau will win a reduced majority. Conservative support has tanked in Ontario and Quebec. Conservatives will gain seats in the west, but lose seats in Ontario.

Same, R03

Please don’t take your eye candy away from us Canada!!!

If Canadians don't vote for Justin, I will never set foot in that cesspool of Deplorables ever again !!!

R2: The standard of living in Canada is above that of the United State. You're a damn fool to want to give that up.

Chuck the cuck Trudeau, Canada!

I think you all know what's going to happen.

Yeah r9, it’s their turn now. Such vile people on this earth.

R9 I doubt vlad would care about rigging a Canadian election. That’d be like rigging an Under 7 girls’ soccer match... who cares?

R9: How? They use paper ballots and it's only one race. They can't hack anything.

My riding's MP is a Cabinet Minister. I liked the NDP and the Green leaders in last week's debate, but I have no reason to vote against a Cabinet minister who seems to be well liked.

The federal party most sympathetic to the gawdawful mess the US selected is unliked where I am. That federal party cannot tell the truth, even if it would help them in the polls. I'd like to see them tell their truth: "we are anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, we are Israel toadies, we can't use proper terminology when discussing First Nations, we have no economic plan where our numbers add up, we don't say anything anti-Trump, we don't speak out against white supremacy because there's no 'there there', we won't give your community funds for cleanup and restoration after a flood, fire or hurricane because it's not in our economic interest to acknowledge the acceleration of climate change."

Trudeau will lose. Sad.

Melania is posting on the DataLounge. She's R5

R14 = Donald Trump

I absolutely love Canada but if they elect Sheer it will be yet another country on the list to avoid, so I really hope that doesn't happen.

Trudeau will win a minority government. Not the worst outcome.

And then the NDP will fuck it up again by joining a no confidence vote because they'll believe they can make gains. And we'll be stuck with another Conservative government in 2 years.

Justin was nice to look at, but it's time for a REAL politician/leader.

^no it isn't.

Lets be honest, R20 is right. We can do better.

^^^Andrew Scheer

The latest conservative strategy appears to be implying that Justin and his wife have separated due to Justin's wondering eye. This was highlighted by an tweet by Globe & Mail's Ezra Levant who suggesting that Trudeau attempted to fuck Bianca Andreescu because they shared an on stage hug. While I believe the rumours and Justin and Sophie might be true, this is getting ridiculous.

Ezra Levant works for The Globe And Mail now??? I thought that asshole was only involved with that right wing Rebel Media bullshit.

R25 Levant stated that Trudeau and Andreescu's hug was quote "pelvis to pelvis." If you watch the fucking clip their crotches are no where near touching. Some Conservative candidates and supporters are also showing a picture of Trudeau with his arm around Andreescu which taken out of context does look like he's in her personal space. When you watch the actually clip, she put her arm around Trudeau first and he's reciprocating and it last about 2 seconds.

As for Trudeau and his wife, I do believe something is up. She was very public for the first half of Trudeau's term but over the last year she's kind of dropped from the limelight. She only appears at events where her absence would raise questions. Conservatives should be careful lest we not forget Stephen Harper's separation from his wife.

For those yearning for election antics, the riding Burnaby North Seymour has them.

The Burnaby North Seymour Conservative Constituency Association posted a doctored meme of entertainment personality and social commentator Rick Mercer's message to young adults telling them to vote, the distortion conveying the message to "Vote Conservative." Mercer has publicly asked CPC HQ to cut it out, and voters have taken to Commissioner of Canada Elections to complain about this possible campaign violation.

Legendary and pioneering out Svend Robinson is the NDP candidate. We hadn't heard much from Svend since his accidental removal of an engagement ring he hadn't yet paid for, in his excitement to finally be legally married

People's Party of Canada candidate Rocky Dong. Lest you judge me as juvenile, I tell you it's not the candidate's name that garners attention, but his hilariously awkward DIY campaign videos.

I live in a riding that typically votes Liberal but in the last few days I've noticed way more conservative signs on people's lawns than in the past. I'm hoping it's a vocal minority rather than a sign of shifting intentions.

Oh, No.

See R29. It's over.

It's the height of irony that we will vote out the white guy for wearing a turban nor vote for the brown guy because he wears a turban.

I think it's possible, too.

There has been gossip for several years that Trudeau has been involved with other women while he's been married to Sophie, and she didn't exactly deny it in an interview a few years ago, did she?

Although it's possible they have an understanding.
