I hate strategic voting and I’m holding my nose and voting for Carney anyway to keep Polievre out. I wish the NDP wasn’t such a mess. But I don’t want Canada to get into bed with the orange rapist.

Yes, FPTP forces strategic voting - but we don’t have to accept this broken system! Our electoral system has changed before and can change again.
Every time we resign ourselves to strategic voting, we perpetuate the very system that forces us to vote strategically. It’s a vicious cycle that only proportional representation can break.

While I agree that Canada being one of 3 major democracies (4 if you count India) still using FPTP to everyone’s detriment, we’re talking about who leads Canada in 8 days.
In a perfect world, PR decoupling MPs/MLAs from leadership is probably ideal for the times; give everyone a voice with fewer hostages to party zealots who are there only because their constituents only know the party leader’s name.
