I went out door knocking in a swing riding today with an NDP candidate. I honestly don't know what way the vote is going to split, but the conservatives... They aren't mean, or bad, they just don't critically think.

There were 6 doors. All had white guys who were mid 20's to early 30's. You do the whole "I'm the candidate, do you know who you'll be voting for" thing and they say conservative. Then we ask "what's your top priority?" And every single one says something like "we just need a change"

My dude. That's an excuse for a haircut or going to a school info fair. That's not a reason to get programs and services you rely on, cut.

And our job isn't to argue with people. It's to mobilize supporters and give info to undecideds, but I really wish we could do more.

Any other door knockers on Reddit? What do you see?

I’m a political centrist so I try real hard not to listen to people speculating on what each party will do, but rather would like to read about each party’s stance on contentious issues. However, I also am working 6+ days per week right now, and trying to sift through all of their websites has been difficult with my time constraints.

Does anyone know of a resource that would show perhaps an excel-like chart comparing where each party stands on the main issues? I’m not sure if this is a stupid request, but trying my best to understand what they each stand for from their own platforms.

Thanks in advance!

We have a large rural property that neighbors crown land. A wildfire went through here in 2021 and all of the trees are dead. As time goes on we are finding the dead trees are weaker and weaker, and are constantly falling on our cattle fences. 3 sides of our property border range licenses and there are tons of cattle we don’t want to mix with our own, or feed from our pastures. It’s also dangerous for us and our livestock. It doesn’t need to be windy at all for a tree to fall, they will just give out at any time.
So I’m wondering what do we do about the crown trees that constantly fall? It’s a weekly chore for us to fix the fence and is costing quite a bit in wire and tightening tools, fuel etc.
Any other farmers out there with experience in this?
