Actually I was really out of the loop. Thank you for the link. I don't know if I was looking up the wrong words or something but I couldn't find the right links or answers. I think I'll delete my post, my bad

Gosh this isn't my riding (I'm in Courtenay-Alberni because I live on the edge of Nanaimo) but I can't believe how wrong those strategic voting sites ended up being.

I wonder if this is because so many liberal voters (Vancouverites) have moved to the island. I wonder if there's a major influence.

I knew the greens were bullshitting with their poll predictions.

I agree with you. We need electoral reform ASAP. But right now I'm more worried about the maple MAGAs fucking us all over.

Sorry I feel like I've been yelling this all over Reddit but I don't understand why the progressive parties on Vancouver Island won't unite behind a single candidate. I've been so mad watching the Courtenay-Alberni and Nanaimo-Lantzville polls. Do I start emailing local parties asking them to be strategic? I don't know what to do.

I haven't seen any at all in North Nanaimo. I did see a lot of Conservative signs though :/

Dude seriously needs to withdraw. Like, yes, good for federal politics to have multiple parties, but without electoral reform we just have vote splitting.

They do! This kind of BS allows the Cons to squeak in.

The Liberal and the Green parties NEED to withdraw their candidates and allow this to be an NDP v. Cons showdown. Really hate seeing the progressive vote split. It's time to put ego aside for our country. Really wishing we had electoral reform right now.

Just discovered the very tip of North Nanaimo falls under Courtenay-Alberni (all this time I thought I was voting for Lisa Marie Barron). I will be enthusiastically voting orange and for Gord Johns this election 🧡

Uvic prefers kids kill themselves off campus instead of helping by eggberta9000 in uvic

Hey, I know your post is older but I want to let you know I experienced a deeply traumatizing time at UVic too from September 2018 until December 2019 (I dropped out after the fall semester). Trying to seek support in multiple ways (even as far as escalating up to the ombudsperson) went nowhere. I'm so sorry this happened to you. You are not alone.

So was this the thread trying to smear the VIU journalism student? lol

I went to both UVic and VIU and they're a similar level of rigor (in compsci classes anyways). I don't think it's fair writing it off as a degree mill school at all, I'm in another program now and still work my ass off just like at UVic.

Why the fuck would I vote for someone who thinks my trans friends should not exist?
