Aileen Lalor<p>Any advice on a tactical vote in Jagmeet Singh's riding? We've been redistricted so no specific data on how this riding has historically voted, NDP was in third place but now more or less level with Cons, with both Cons and NDP trending up, Libs trending down (caveat: this is all from 338 and Smart Voting so potentially rubbish). Lib candidate seems solid but Singh has all the name recognition, I'm ideologically NDP but don't want to help the Cons.

Charlie McHenry<p>In <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> a snap election defined by economic anxiety and annexation threats is now a two-man race about who can stand up to Donald Trump. Advanced voting started today on what is a holiday weekend in the country. Poll close on April 28, so there’s ten days left in the race. Personally (as a US citizen), I respect Carney and value the fact he is not a career politician like his principal opponent, conservative PP, who shares many of Trump’s beliefs. We can’t have the far-right controlling all of N. America.

Ariel Kroon<p>Ok but can we talk about how the Bloc only deigned to provide answers in French? That's certainly one way to get your point across while still promoting your party platform. Notice the Conservatives didn't even bother answering; they know how bad they'd look. Not loving the Liberal spin answers but imho it's better than no answers at all. Barely, but still shows they have basic respect for the people of Canada who are concerned about this...</p><p><a href="https://environmentaldefence.ca/federalelection2025/responses/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">environmentaldefence.ca/federa</span><span class="invisible">lelection2025/responses/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/CanadianPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianPolitics</span></a></p>

Flipboard News Desk<p>Canada goes to the polls on April 28. Investigative journalist <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@justinling" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>justinling</span></a></span> has a new series, Chaos Campaign, following the issues and events leading up to the election. Here's his story about how the different parties want to address one of the country's most challenging problems — the housing shortage. His conclusions: The Greens and New Democrats: Nonsense hokum. The Conservatives: Good, but incomplete. The Liberals: Great, but can we trust them? "The only thing to do now is to absolutely grill your local candidates on how they will, personally — not as a party — advocate for strong solutions to the housing crisis," Ling writes.<br>"We got into this mess because of endemic buck-passing and the ability for a small group of anti-development yahoos to hijack the conversation. The only way out of this is to demand accountability and make it clear that we want more homes."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/tK5NYy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/tK5NYy</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CanadianNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianNews</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CanadianElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianElection</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MarkCarney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarkCarney</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/PierrePoilievre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PierrePoilievre</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CaPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CaPoli</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CanadianPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianPolitics</span></a></p>
