I voted back my current MP, as she has done a good job, and also because her party is the one I agree with the most.

If the NDP does form a government tonight, I swear to God it'll feel like I died and went to heaven.

Is your MP from the NDP?
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.

Canadian politics is probably more tame than American politics currently

If you think about it, Canada is kinda like hallmark universe america. Not as dangerous, friendlier and with political debates that aren't as heated or violent. Also Rob Ford existed

You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot.

Scheer's turning the heat up this election cycle. Also I forgot about Rob Ford somehow. Silly me...

This would be a dream. I've just been excited by the idea of the NDP setting terms to a Liberal minority so they have a chance at a coalition. Prime Minister Jagmeet Singh is my favourite possibility to any election in my lifetime.

As a foreigner I have to ask: Does that Bernier actually have any chance of gaining seats in Canada? He at the max will probably pull 5% of the vote judging from the polls but from what I understand his voter base is rather spread over conservative Canada instead of conglomerating in one or a few districts such as with that froggie independence party.

His only real chance at a seat is in his home riding in Beauce, Quebec, and even there it isn't a sure thing. Outside of that, he really has no chance.
