You can’t really stand up to power by voting, unfortunately. All your choices are just different ways of giving these jackals power with more or fewer steps.

I hope there are local groups and organizations where you’re at that you can join to start to organize a grassroots movement.

It’s hard to vote in a principled way knowing that it will lead to one more Conservative MP. We are in a bind with this electoral system, and of course the Liberals benefit most from it so will never change it.

That said, if the Liberals keep acting enough like Conservatives that people don’t see a significant difference between their policies, it could undermine strategic voting and open the door to other parties.

Never ever ever attempt to appease trump.

It will not work. He will never admit when he is wrong

And he is totally untrustworthy and will NOT keep his side of any deal

Exactly this. I came to this conclusion a long time ago, so I guess it’s nice to see others coming around to it.

It’s not only Quebecois who don’t want American Dairy. Sask here, we better not drop those fucking dairy tariffs.

Lose a battle to win a war.

From what I’ve seen, Canada’s agriculture sectors have had a rough time over the past few decades: production is consolidating into a handful of players, profit margins are sinking, while those further up the supply chain seem to be enjoying most of the profits (and prices for the consumer aren’t improving). Dairy farmers have done really well compared to their peers in other sectors. I’m okay paying a bit more for dairy if it keeps them doing well.

Canada is just calling the US’s bluff, because it’s not actually about the DST. Now Canada has proof they’re negotiating in good faith with an admin that couldn’t care less about honouring deals.

It’s not even a matter of paying more for dairy, we would not have dairy farmers if we allowed American Dairy to flood our borders. https://youtu.be/PjBdZPnaDfc they literally have a massive underground facility because of the amount of cheese they overproduce.

Maybe in theory, but liberals never reciprocate. We gave up multiple incumbent ridings to the Conservatives because people voted for Carney instead of the incumbent NDP, who were IMO better candidates.

This is the way

FFS

If you give him an inch, he’ll take a mile

another dummy who does not understand how tariffs work or who pays them

lol like we needed proof trumpeisall bad faith and ignorance… we are literally re negotiating the very trade aggreement trump signed 5 years ago and unilaterally tore

Because we’re always told they don’t have a shot.

But, let’s just say, as of today, nobody votes liberal again. It would likely be the party that also gave use universal healthcare to at least take a minority.

No more vote splitting.

The only party that is remotely aligned with the people is the NDP. (And some greens.)

Why!? You aren’t going to beat TACO with CACO, for heaven’s sake.

Y’all are remembering that it’s us Canadians that will be paying this tax, right? It’s not going to affect any company’s bottom line in the slightest.

Since you said something similar in response to a different post, I’ll give a similar response to the one I did there:

I have my doubts that Canadian companies would have all increased their google/facebook ad budgets over this.

Anyway if it didn’t matter to those companies then why were they so opposed to it

If nobody votes for the party that actually represents their interests, then shockingly the party that represents their interests will not have a shot. It’s a self-defeating strategy.

“Strategic” voting is a long term recipe for a US-style system where there’s only room for two parties.

For fucks’ sakes
