A better strategy, IMO, would be donating to a party countering the Conservatives in another riding, a swing riding.

Lezlie Lowe ~ lezlielowe.com @lezlielowe.bsky.social · Mar 23

Voting Liberal because you believe it's the right choice is totally valid. Voting Liberal because you think you'll help make sure a Conservative won't be in the PMO, if you live in Halifax, isn't impactful.

Strategic voting is definitely a thing. I'm not saying it isn't. I'm saying that Halifax, historically, isn't a swing riding. Lisa was a hair away from beating Andy last election, and Andy's first win in the Trudeau wave was a significant surprise.

Kind reminder: you aren't voting for the PM. If you're being lured to vote a certain way to get the "right" PM, or to keep the "wrong" PM out, that argument doesn't hold water if you're voting in the Halifax electoral district. You're voting for the best person to be your riding's voice in the HoC.
