Election Information

I recommend that you check the links yourself! I've copied some of the information below:

Ways to vote

See this page for full details.

Vote on election day (April 28)

Vote by mail

Special Ballots

Remember: Once you apply to vote by special ballot, you can't change your mind and vote at advance polls or on election day.

See this page for deadlines for when you can apply for one, and when they must receive it by. It also has information on what you must do differently when filling out this ballot: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=vote&dir=spe&document=index&lang=e

If you are having any issues, reach out to your local Elections Canada office to know your options.

NDP needs to drop Singh. Conservatives need to drop PP.

Singh just announced he is stepping down as party leader.

I dont believe the hype. I think he'd have been great.

[–] wise_pancake 13 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I don't dislike Singh but I don't think he was a good leader.

I don't think he saw his own failures coming, but I've been saying for a while this would happen.

I don't think he did a good enough job getting the message out to the working class, and that needs to be the NDP foundation. Unless it's a worker party, what actually separates it from the greens?

I actually do like most of their platform, and the platform is bold. I Also like that he did push for dental and pharma, but as released those programs are a huge frustration to me.

I feel you, I think the NDP needs another Jack Layton. He was lightning in a bottle.

I imagine Singh could've approached an adequate level of leadership and approval he had if he kept accumulating more political outreach experience rather than step down, but so it goes.

I think he performed well in the debates. I wouldn't be surprised if the NDP has trouble filling his shoes. Though they may be able to by picking someone who is more 'demographically palatable' to the average Canadian.

That's a nice way to put it, but I agree. Accept the sad reality and put forward a candidate who can realistically win. Once in power you can work on reducing racism/sexism etc.

Seeing as they voth lost there seat pretty sure that choice has been made for them

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

Yup. Here's hoping the selection process goes slow so the Cons can't cause trouble for a bit.

[–] ibelieveinthehousehippo 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think he'll want to continue after this tbh

It sucks but it's the right move. The London Fanshawe riding is devastating. We were an NDP stronghold for almost 20 years
