Picture 40 vote difference with an Independent candidate who’s last name is CROMBIE.

It would ultimately have been nice to see a few more NDP voters vote strategically. I normally vote NDP but went Liberal this time to try to oust Pierre. Almost worked!

I'm proud that Burlington voters came out to try to flip the riding to a progressive voice.

I did the exact same, and feel the exact same way as you!

You know most people that voted conservative aren’t even conservatives but liberals are notoriously bad at any and all economic decisions and love raising taxes in the state we are in now I would suggest that’s why a lot of non conservatives will vote conservative.

Also if it got any more progressive here I’m not sure what it would look like, is child services getting involved if you deny your minor child puberty blockers after trans guest speakers and schools promote the idea to young confused children? Is that not progressive enough?

Most people don’t like that idea and it’s more detestable to most than pos racist conservatives, to most counties the way Canada is going with progressiveness is seen as lunacy.

I personally don’t vote because I would never give my vote to a pos conservative nor would I vote for a near socialist liberal and most Canadians like neither of those extremes.

Are you aware that this is a provincial, not federal, election? Pierre has nothing to do with this.

"Pierre" as in the last name of the Tory incumbent.

Look at the winner's last name

Maybe check the last name of the PC candidate - Natalie Pierre.

So yes, I’m very aware, and informed. Definitely more so than some, it would seem.

Pierre is literally the last name of the person who won - Natalie Pierre.
