Benji Arney "Hop on the Swagmeet train y'all, let's get the best boi some more seats." That would be Jagmeet Singh.

@wilnerolivier7971 "Not happening, bruh!!" Because? It was due to Jagmeet Singh and the NDP that we eligible Canadians received CAD$500 weekly Covid relief cheques (aka CERB). Singh also held Trudeaus feet to the fire for the EI cheques after CERB had run it's course. The NDP states that it is committed to public health care. The party states that it fights for "a national, universal, public pharmacare program to make sure that all Canadians can access the prescription medicine they need with their health card, not their credit card – saving money and improving health outcomes for everyone".[59] The party also states its support for expanding services covered under the national health care system to include dental care, mental health care, eye and hearing care, infertility procedures, and prescription drugs. Regarding dentistry, the NDP notes that "one in three Canadians has no dental insurance and over six million people don't visit the dentist every year because they can't afford to. Too many people are forced to go without the care they need until the pain is so severe that they are forced to seek relief in hospital emergency rooms.

@wilnerolivier7971 "The electorate felt that the NDP led by Mulcair wasn't up to the job & turned their hopes to the Liberals knowing full well that they had a then untested leader who only became leader because of his famous last name. Once the public saw how well that JT did in those debates that they became convinced that the Liberals were worthy to be the party to be the next government." I totally agree with your assessment. Keeping my fingers crossed for Jagmeet as Opposition leader or best case scenario PM...though I think the USA might come meddling into our politics if that were ever to happen.

Sammy Buckle "Give it two more elections and the NDP could be legitimate contenders for the PM again." My opinion: The last time the federal NDP had a legitimate chance to for PM job was with Jack Layton.

Greg Ward "so the NDP going to finish 4th again in a 3 party race, what a joke" It wasn't always that way. In the 2011 federal election the NDP won a record 103 seats, becoming the Official Opposition for the first time in the party's history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democratic_Party#:~:text=In%20the%202011%20federal%20election,time%20in%20the%20party's%20history.

ChillMonger "a limited turn out will help the right. You're more likely to lean left if you're concerned about going outside over Covid" We do have mail-in ballots in Canada.

@GreenGrasshoppa "I'm left and have had both shots. I'll vote in person at my polling station,(less than a 5 min walk), and grab me a Tims double double on the way home." Other than the supporting Tims, you and I are in a similar boat, but I still prefer to stay home, save time and vote with the mail-in ballot.
