The alternative is proving that the Laurentian Elite can do whatever the hell they want and the people will still vote for them if they wave a distraction in front of them.

This election will be a litmus test. If the Liberals win then the people of Canada have lost their way and cannot be saved. If the Conservatives win it means the people still have an awareness of reality and may actually fight to make things right if and when things get worse.

This is my 4th federal election in this rural Albertan riding and holy shit I’ve never seen turnout like this. Now, these are pretty inefficient votes (riding is normally 80+% CPC) but usually I just hang with the blue hairs- it’s the middle of the day and lined up out the door, lots of parent-aged voters. LPC is a dead brand here, not seeing the tiny NDP demo (old, broke commies) at all.

Probably not representative but lots of people chatting about separation in line which is unprecedented.

We are sending people home to vote. We want to fuck up this government.

Also interesting: I’m usually the youngest person working the election (late GenX), this time lots of older millennials showed up to work the polls- never seen that, it’s usually mostly retired people, this time they are only about half

Liberals winning would be the ultimate clown pill for me. I will truly give up, stop caring and laugh as the world burns around me and with me in it.

I will be very surprised if Liberals don't win

The TDS syndrome is rampant among Canadians who will vote to keep the same people ruining Canada in charge because orange man bad

It's difficult to determine if that's just a vocal minority or not.

In Vancouver to break out of the Shaw / Telus duopoly and get something that wasn't anemic cable Internet or some bonded VDSL abomination, I had to move into a rather expensive apartment in New West so I could get access to the city's fiber optic. It was 1 gigabit symmetrical for ~$80 CAD/month from a relatively small provider that barely tried to upsell me on TV packages and whose phone guys were actually White.

So there are certainly good options but it's not clearcut superior to the US, where you typically have the same crappy provider monopolies with random FCC juiced fiber optic providers sprinkled around. The area of the US I'm in has an incumbent cable provider, VDSL, Google fiber and another smaller fiber ISP which is way more choice than I ever had in Canada.

Or how centralized it is to the typical bughive cities. Inefficient voting concentration feels like it could go either way,

Still think it will come down to turnout among younger voters.

Praying for you leafs that it's like the 2016 election here where the young Liberal voters saw all those good polls and just assume they'll win and stay home

Except a non-insignificant amount of Liberal voters are seniors who care about "muh medicare" and "muh house prices".
Fucking snowbirds.
