Have you won a Nobel prize for stating that they don't? It's useless because all the money is going to pay off stupid spending. If it was actually used for things to cut down on carbon then it wouldn't be useless. So no, you haven't won a Nobel prize for stating that they don't. In that case I'm going to accept the research of Nobel laureates over whatever it is you're talking about. Trudeau is border line handicapped so what ever he does or thinks I believe the opposite is the right thing. So I'm going to accept that. <cite>xjayguyx posted [p:929079979] in Canadian F...

Kungfu Kenobi 10/22/19 1:42:33 AM #63:	darkknight109 posted... I'm actually legitimately curious as to what confluence of factors would make you vote for your least-wanted party, because I can't even imagine a hypothetical scenario where that would be the right move to make. It's not that weird. If the goal is to defang the Liberals a little, that means voting for someone electable that's not Liberal. That's Conservative where I live. I'm in a fairly Liberal area on the east, and while we've flipped Conservative within this century, we have far less Green and NDP presence, at least on paper. The latter two would otherwise get my vote easily (as per my rankings). My province has one of the few regions that did win a Green seat, and I suspect there's far more people in my region, if not my riding directly, with rankings similar to mine voting conservative too. I would under other conditions, conditions that do not presently exist, consider voting Liberal better than Conservative, but only after exhausting all other conceivable alternatives. The problem is when other options don't exist, then voting Conservative starts to look appealing. --- This album is not available to the public.

A number which you're basing on... absolutely nothing? zebatov posted... Deceased, non-citizen who had never received a voter card before this year receives a voter card. Which, while it shouldn't happen, isn't likely to cause too much of an issue because you have to show ID that matches your voter card. It creates opportunities for people to use fake ID's to generate an extra vote or two, but in practice, that's a whole lot of effort for very little impact. Whatever issue caused voter cards to be sent to deceased people should absolutely be fixed, but I wouldn't worry too much about it making a difference. --- This is my signature.
