The only way I'll ever vote Liberal is if my riding is in a tight race between the Liberal and Conservative candidates.

I've always voted Green or NDP, depending on who's fielding the better candidate in my area, and will continue to do so. The Libs lost any chance at my support after immediately backpedaling on "2015 will be the last federal election under first-past-the-post" the second they got into office.

Liberals promise everything and deliver a quarter. Conservatives promise everything and keep it for themselves. Canada should see what the NDP can do.

I hope the Greens make a comeback. They were the "can't vote for any of these other charlatans" party of my youth.

100% me too. I'm lucky enough to live in an NDP vs Green riding so I've never had to vote for a status quo bullshit party, but that election promise reneg went straight into the Big Book of Grudges.

Do you know about Fairvote Canada?

None of this changes the fact the for many of us it s a binary choice: elect the bad party or accept the worst. Neither the orange nor the green has a chance, although orange does very well with a minority.
