My oldest daughter has voted NDP ever since she was 18.
It’s been a point of contention we’ve had to agree to disagree on.
She recently called me to say she is so incredibly disgusted by this man’s actions she will now be voting Conservative with me.
If she is any indication there’s no “could be” about it.
NDP just sold their soul and committed political suicide.
My daughter said the same thing.
If the conservatives kept O’Toole I would vote for them. Heck that’s why I voted for them in the last election.
Conservatives booted him and if they go with Pierre I’m not voting conservative. He’s just like Trudeau.
vote P.P.C bro
I will not vote for him again..disappointed
P.P.C
I am not an NDPer – my daughter YES. She tried to convince me to support Singh to no avail. She hated Trudeau. Now – the NDP may have lost her due to this merger. The proverbial nail in the coffin with the hammer coming to the NDP.
I’d love to hear her views
ndp not same ndp of 20 years ago! no line with ndp and liberal anymore.
Let’s pray it does.
I have voted N.D.P all my life same as my parents and grandparents and i will never vote N.D.P AGAIN . AND I SURE WON’T VOTE LIBERAL . HE JUST SCREWED IT FOR N.D.P. SUPPORTERS 🤬
They walked right into the snake pit
Exactly right!
What policies made you vote NDP in the past?
P.P.C
Did NDP vote for the emergencies act in part because they were already holding discussions with the Liberal party prior to or during the trucker protests?
Yes.
lolz. Most of the country was in agreement esp those living nearby. AND REMEMBER, ‘truckers’ is to be in quotation marks.
So what?
of course
they did against our rights
That’s weird 🤔 . Everyone I talked to support PIERRE POLIEVRE 👈
Yeah, inbreeding can fo that.
P.P.C
@roof pizza soyou like the dictator we have do you.
Me to and most of my family
The poll is not representative.
THERE WILL BE TURBULENCE BECAUSE OF THE EMERGENCY ACT REVIEW AND CHALLENGES IN COURT!
This sums up the risk:reward of this deal for Singh and the NDP nicely. The other aspect might be an increase in defense spending that might make the NDP uncomfortable. The CPC would normally support such spending, but they’d likely prefer to topple the government over supporting such a budget if the Liberals couldn’t get enough NDP to support it. This deal takes that risk off the table.
No one wants a do over Liberal and Charest is a flip flop do over! Not if the Conservatives think this through.
Need to POLL QUEBEC over which possible Conservative leader they would vote for. Need Quebec to win the federal election.
Yes, we have always been beholden to the French
We need Quebec to separate.
Singh was dead in the water anyway you look at it, so he had nothing to lose.
Pierre for PM..
Remember to vote for Anybody but Trudeau and Sing along

Singh just wants to keep his job and pension for 3 more years. Then go back to selling used cars or insurance

Libs & Ndp will “taint” each other & enough centrist voters fed up with trudo (70% of all voters already are) to elect conservatives by default
