If you make them, sure. We have three major parties, and others as well. Of course, people constantly vote “strategically” which is a way they make themselves feel good about voting against their interests. No one would call it strategic voting if it was simply the vote that actually represented them.
The far-right party gets the crazies and racists and whatnot and the center-right party gets the “I have gay friends” centrists and whatever leftists they can scare and/or threaten into voting for them against the far-right party.
Vote for what is closest to your values or just don’t show up because at least then you’re not giving false-positive support for something you don’t want.
The NDP is not currently a recognized party at all, let alone a “major” one. Or are you referring to the Bloc?

That’s the same picture if you’re an NDP voter in most ridings in the last election. Watch the video, it’s very short and explains the problem quite well.
Not anymore. Because we shot them in the face and spat on them after the fact so we get rat-fucked by slightly less dangerous conservatives pretending to be centrists and who are only called the woke left by the far-right because those people have a single, weak braincell between all of them. Congrats, everyone, we’re stupid.
I did watch the video. Yes, people think they’re smart and will vote against themselves because they look at past elections and not at the one they’re actually voting on. Thanks for proving my point that “strategic voting” is stupid as hell and corrupts the system.
I’m sure the Conservative party would have been very happy if the NDP had siphoned some additional votes away from the Liberals in tightly contested ridings.
I’m sure! But now we just have two conservative parties so go us! Like, we haven’t fixed anything with this brain-dead behaviour, all we’ve done is temporarily made things not quite as bad for the cost of obliterating our representation and further cementing our country as a centrist and right-wing garbage hole. Carney’s government literally tried to make the Air Canada strike illegal for some fucking reason; they don’t care about you and you’re fucking yourself in your own ass with a rusty iron poker while telling everyone how clever you are for doing it.
Congratulations! You’re a big smart hero for voting away your values like a good scared little baby.

There are well-documented instances of this. Republicans supported the Green Party in the 2024 American elections, for example, providing them with legal and consulting aid. Same with independent candidate Cornel Green. This technique relies on people not voting strategically.
