Canada General Discussion (2019-)

[Upper Canada Tory]

Look, Oilers are Canada's team now for the duration of this series, there's no debate to be had. Canucks fans may disagree but they're all a buncha godless hippies anyway.

But speaking of godless hippies, does anyone know why Edmonton Strathcona is as safe NDP as it is? Like, it makes sense that a riding like Strathcona would vote NDP, but demographically it doesn't feel like it should be as strongly NDP as it is. They won it by a bigger margin than any seat in BC in 2021, including Vancouver East which feels like it should be more NDP. Anyone know why?

My guess would be Heather McPherson's name recognition. She is a much more well known MP than her opponents in that riding are.

Also, don't disparage all Canucks fans. Some of us are doing the right thing and rooting for the Oilers in this series!

You're one of the good ones I guess. A true patriot!

To be fair, I'm a Leafs fan so I'm just used to switching to other Canadian teams every playoffs after the inevitable first round defeat lol. It's muscle memory at this point
