    We didn’t choose him because he was good for us.

    We chose him because he was the least worse. It was a choice between the second-worst candidate and the worst.

    Always remember that. And let’s get a better candidate for next time, so we have someone we want to vote for.

      I reject that excuse. We could all still have voted NDP which was the best option.

      A conservative minority government with a strong NDP would still have been a better outcome than this.

        Some of us could have, yes, and I would say should have. However those in deeply conservative areas could not. I voted Liberal in a vague hope of dethroning the cons in my area (along with others according to election results) and it still wasn’t enough. The alternative was vote for a candidate I knew would never have a chance.

        We need ranked voting.

      Except we don’t get to pick candidates, we only get to pick Red or Blue.
