Responses:

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
      - a thing I like about her is when elements in the party tried to bully her on BDS & she was like fuck off. -- nm - mud Oct 21, 19:01
    - 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
Formal alliances don't happen as such. Informally, the NDP and Greens would be more likely to support Liberals vs the Conservatives. - Reagen Oct 21, 18:46
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
