Alison Creekside<p>Of the 122 federal ridings in Ontario, SmartVoting says the strategic voting choice in 120 of them is Liberal. <br>They only refrain from boosting the Libs twice -choosing the NDP in London-Fanshawe and Green in Kitchener Centre. 2 out of 122.<br>Even in ridings with an NDP incumbent where the Lib came second - like in Windsor West or Hamilton Centre or Kapuskasing - they still say to strategically vote Lib to keep out the Cons. 👀 <br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Elxn45" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elxn45</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Onpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Onpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Election2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Election2025</span></a></p>

JustG<p>Culturally the thing I’m thinking about regarding Pierre’s “women are only useful when their reproducing” bullshit is that… are we really in a housing crisis when the explicit message is you can’t have kids if you don’t own a fucking single family home?
