    Atm we got it, this is the magic sweet spot where we want to be

    172 seats exactly with lib+ndp+green

    and conservatives can’t even threaten a vote of non confidence with bloc’s help. (1 vote short)

    But they could trigger it with that 1 green seat’s help, which means liberals have to stay on the good side of that 1 green seat XD

        The 1 seat they got was in the green party stronghold (co leaders home town)

        I have zero clue what her platform is, prolly environmentalist tho.

          You’re conveniently leaving out the fact that the federal Greens spent the last several years destroying itself through infighting. Remember the leader that was elected to replace the long suffering Elizabeth May who then stole a bunch of money, started a bunch of law suits against the party and then May had to take back over under a joint leadership?

          They’re a novelty party, not a party of governance.

          (I have voted Green several times, but never again in their current arrangement)

            Sure, but go check what the US Green party is to compare and you’ll realize that the Canadian party isn’t so bad

              Using “well at least it’s not as bad in America” in these contexts is both dismissive of valid criticism and also a staggeringly low bar
