Well OBVIOUSLY. If we gave them a human right to clean drinking water, that would not only be admitting they're humans with human rights, but we'd have to come up with a totally different method of ensuring the destruction of their way of life and the subtle, gradual multi-generational genocide of forced assimilation continues, and that sounds like hard work. /s

I should have voted for the NDP, and I should have convinced the rest of complex to also vote NDP. and the NDP should have campaigned here more than once, and reached the people who aren't living in mcmansions and driving cybertrucks. and I should have volunteered for the NDP

forgive me

This is very bad news, but also I cannot vote for NDP nor Greens unless either the parties merge or ranked based voting happens.

It doesn't make sense in my area, and many others, considering the Conservatives could win.

If you're a NDP/Green voter that voted Liberal in a previous election then it's on Liberal voters to vote NDP/Green in the next.
