Taking one last look... -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 19:11
CBC just called for the Liberals. -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 19:11 1

  - Yep. They could’ve shown literally anything. Doesn’t matter. I’m seeing it. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 21, 18:57
- oh boy -- nm - mud Oct 21, 18:49

Why are you going for it on 4th and 4 from the 28? - Will Hunting Oct 21, 18:39 4
- down 24-0, they have to go for it. -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 18:39 3
  - No you don’t. It’s a 3 score game either way. Get the points, show some level of success and regroup at half-time. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 18:43 2
    - Gase sucks? 🤷‍♂️ -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 18:48
    - Agreed, first score breaks the ice. -- nm - budice Oct 21, 18:45
How do alliances between the Liberals, Conservatives, Greens, and New Dems sort out in Canada, in general? -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 18:39 19
- Are the Liberals the more centrist party and NDP/Greens more progressive? - Tim Oct 21, 18:49 12
  - more left of center. The Greens have one key issue (climate change). The NDP originated as a union party -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 18:51
  - ish? Greens are harder to pin down. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 18:50 5
    - Canadian Greens are like... libertarians who like the environment. -- nm - mafic Oct 21, 18:52 4
      - May has made some progressiveish handwaves, but also some weird wonky ideas. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 18:59 1

      - mossitarians -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 21, 18:56
      - yes -- nm - mud Oct 21, 18:56
  - No clue. I only know Trudeau leads the Liberals. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 18:49 1
    - It was more directed to the Canadians and not you, but seemed like a good place to ask. -- nm* - Tim Oct 21, 18:51
  - yes to your im. they won't touch alot of the issues that drive the GOP (abortion, guns, gay marriage, universal healthcare) -- nm* - Beaker Oct 21, 18:49 2
    - if it wasn't such political poison, I think Scheer personally might be happy to reopen all of those except maybe healthcare. -- nm - mafic Oct 21, 18:54 1
      - oh God yes. -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 18:55
- The Liberals can probably go at least two budgets with NDP/Green support based on previous Trudeau budgets. Not a formal deal, but issue by issue. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 18:47

- It's happened. Not common, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 18:41 3
  - I meant more in terms of if Libs or Cons don't get a majority of seats, who aligns with who to get a govt formed? -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 18:43 2
    - Greens and NDP and Liberals. Nobody with the Cons. Not even the far-right People's Party -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 18:44 1
      - Thanks -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 18:45
Is Tim around? Remlik? Anyone want to buy me this completely unnecessary, irrational vanity item? -- (link) - Qale Oct 21, 18:38

- nice -- nm - mud Oct 21, 18:29
I mean, I'd throw it to one of the guys in green, but that's just me. -- nm* - David Oct 21, 18:19 1
- The Pats were just basicly giving the Jets charity on that drive - eag Oct 21, 18:21
