Looks like malpractice.

I disagree. The timing is perfect if you're looking to capitalize on the same anti-conservative/anti-maple-maga sentiment that kept the NDP in power in Oct of 2024.
That's an absolutely shit take on the situation.
Like in two fucking years, when we would've had the regularly scheduled election, you would've had a heavily segmented/divided right -- the two splinter parties that have formed haven't had enough time to really disrupt the regular right-wing base, and aren't in enough ridings to matter much. Right-wing voters will have an easy time 'rallying' because there's only one right-wing party that can actually form government.
But even more, in two years time you'd, "theoretically" at least, have either a positive progressive wave to ride with the defeat of Trump in America, or you'd have an even bigger protest-type movement to rally against from the sane part of the spectrum.
THAT would have been a perfectly fine time for an election, and likely would've turned out fine for the NDP. If they'd managed to turn around their current shit show in those two years too, they would've been sitting pretty. With Carney's "Major Projects" shit and all the federal investment, the NDP could've leveraged all that investment and spun it as partially their success. But no, instead, let's call a fucking election when mills are fucking closing -- that'll win us some votes! Fucking moronic.
So now, we have predictions like this on 338Canada -- a 75% chance at the present, based on an aggregate of polling sites, of a Conservative fucking majority.
So yay. Currently a 75% chance that we'll have a conservative party majority. A conservative party that's staffed up with Alberta separatists still from Findley's manipulations. A conservative party that's likely to be a LOT more agreeable to Trumpian bullshit, and which will likely support Alberta's separatist aims.
Perfect huh. That's your idea of perfect. Brilliant.
