Despite the Liberal Party having a massive lead, many lifelong NDP voters are still abandoning the party to “vote strategically.” Likely, these voters are unaware that the NDP is likely to fall below the threshold needed to maintain recognized party status and this will lose funding and be unable to ask questions in the House of Commons. Strategic voting should be employed only where there is so chance of flipping a conservative seat. There is no benefit to ousting the third party that will already bolster a liberal minority should one arise (it won’t, it’s expected to be a blowout for Liberals either way). tl;dr if you’re an NDP supporter, and especially if you live in BC, vote NDP. It’s the more “strategic” option.

I like my local NDP candidate, but pretty sure she will lose. I am gonna vote for her anyway.

Yeah my riding has been liberal since inception, but I’m going to vote NDP to push the needle. I always recommend to people to use a site like https://338canada.com/ and if it’s not neck and neck between Tories and Libs to vote your conscience. I’ve never had to vote Liberal and I’ve always ended up in an NDP or Liberal riding.

To clarify I mean use 338Canada to see seat projections by riding specifically. I really don’t want people aligning their “strategic vote” to the popular vote as that’s a complete misunderstanding of how parliament and first-past-the-post works

You'd probably like https://votewell.ca/ which uses 338, but IIRC there's an issue where 338 leans too heavily on historical outcomes and not enough on current local polling sentiment (which a lot of ridings don't have great public data for).
