    Obviously I know that. Carney’s current government is a minority government.

    You really think the NDP would be a meaningful partner in any sense to a Conservative government? They’d work with the Liberals instead, they’re more closely aligned with Conservative goals and values.

        You’re insisting on an outcome that was not possible. The NDP were not going to achieve any significant power or influence in the previous election. With a handful of exceptional ridings, any vote for the NDP was effectively a vote for Pierre. You may not be happy with that but it is the reality dictated by the electoral facts on the ground and by basic game theory. Insisting otherwise results in people ending up voting against their own interests.

          In any case. We did the NDP dirty. They didn’t deserve to lose so many seats. People didn’t give Jagmeet the credit he was due. People were affraid of Trump and thought an establishment bean counter was going to save them.

          Also, can you imagine the meltdown that Trump would’ve had if he had to deal with a Sikh prime minister? He’s already freaking out over a muslim mayor in New York.
