Article says everybody agrees on there not being any Canadian options, and it being a public safety issue. Framing it as "Conservatives are traitors, ammarite" is kinda gross here tbh.
Re-watching it, and yeah, has to be gagged. If you listen closely, there's a small "click" after what at first sounds like "gay", which is likely an "ed" sound.
I think he was trying to say "gagged" but it does sound like "gay" lol
Wish I could watch and see what specifically the video is about, but unfortunately on the bus and left my earbuds at home :(
In any case, not to self-promote, but I made this community little bit ago that I hope will help things out: https://lemmy.ca/c/maplemusic

Hope it helps.
Remembering how my sixth grade teacher back in like, 2012, was telling us a high speed train from Edmonton to Calgary would be a stupid idea, and that waiting for the hyperloop would be a smarter idea.
Hope he's enjoying that curdled milk.
You're not funny bro.
Got any other jokes to sell us, or are you supposed to be the punchline here?
I swear, Americans will sooner protest a Disney movie or Oreo Cakesters being discontinued before they end up protesting their country invading ours.
"We meet the criteria" no you don't, you pulled several of your candidates and gave them the false pretext that you met the same criteria the other parties did.
The PPC didn't meet the criteria and neither did you, maybe next time grow a spine and run candidates in Conservative-likely ridings because the fight for your cause is worth the uphill battle.
As someone in a Conservative-likely riding, I'm furious that I wasn't given the option to vote and canvass for the Greens. Pedneault had me thinking that he was a positive change in the party leadership, and now the "strategic" decision to pull candidates in ridings like mine is coming to bite the party in the ass.
Ah yes, cause the less than one million green voters would have filled a nearly three million vote gap in November.
Just lemmy.ca yeah. My system uses the correct timezone for me, but when I check the date of posting by hovering over the indicator of how long ago the post was made, it just gives me the time in GMT.
Greens, NDP, Canadian Future. All running with proportional representation in their platforms.
You do realize that giving your vote away from a smaller party to a larger one leads us more into the two-party lockup that the U.S. faces right?
Always there's this one-sided thinking of "oh, but if you vote this way, then it's your fault when the party most opposed to you wins. Why do we never ask why the party that's most positioned to beat the party we're most in objection to isn't out there trying to appeal to us? Why must we appeal to them?
By deciding that your vote is a waste when it goes to a smaller party, then congrats! Your "strategic voting" dissolves support for the smaller parties which in turn leads to their eventual dissolution, and then voila, you end up like the states where the larger left-wing party ends up losing support amongst it's own base in pleas to appeal to Conservatives driving the overton window to the right.
EDIT: Quickly adding to this comment that if the Liberal candidate for my riding doesn't explicitly come out in support for proportional representation, I will be throwing my vote elsewhere. Sent an email, and keeping an eye on public events.
I mean, if they bothered to run a candidate in my riding...
Quite literally unbelievable. They say on their site they have a candidate for my riding, I reach out and email the given contact on their site offering to volunteer, I get zero response, and then find out Canada's Future can run a candidate here, but not them. Borderline pathetic.

Copy-pasting my comment from the crosspost:
Can we stop with the "strategic voting" bullshit?
Go ahead and "strategic vote" but don't come around complaining when Canada ends up being a two-party state like our oh-so mentally sound southern neighbours.
Edmonton, and I attended from I think 2005-2012.
I want to say "good", but having been a kid with shitty parents, I genuinely think this is going to be doing more harm than good.
I remember back in elementary we had to pay lunch fees in order to eat at the school during lunch. It was apparently to help pay for the people who supervised us during lunch break, since the school didn't provide food. Since my parents gave priority to my father's alcohol and cigarettes as he sat on his ass playing computer games all day adding nothing to our tight budget, they would never pay for the fees.
It felt like a double punishment having parents who didn't care enough to pay said fees, and a school that put that responsibility on you as the student to advocate for yourself to your own fucking parents or else they'd have you sit in the office's old nursery alone doing nothing each day for 45 minutes as everyone else had recess.
I get that this is different from that cause it's a health and safety issue, but this genuinely feels like it's punishing the students who are already powerless and have awful parents, and I wouldn't be surprised if this grows dissent with the education system as they grow up. Surely there's better options that target the parents?
According to the City of Calgary’s Integrity and Ethics Office annual report delivered to city councillors on Sept. 17, 2024, there were 51 complaints made under the Code of Conduct for Elected Officials Bylaw. Forty-eight of those complaints were dismissed, with the rationale being no reasonable grounds, or frivolous or vexatious. The reporting period was from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024.
That's a high ratio of complaints dismissed.
