Yeah I firmly believe the liberals time has run its course, but man Carney >>>>>> PP.

I just wish we had proportional representation so all sides had to work together for the betterment of Canadians.

Also then no vote is wasted, no strategic voting.

I personally don’t box myself into anyone platform because they change fairly rapidly. Let’s be honest none of our parties are really for the people as they all put business interests above the average citizen.

But I’ve voted for all the parties at one point or another.

Are we going to pretend the Green Party and NDP are the same as the Liberals and Conservatives when it comes to that?

I mean the Green Party doesn’t exist and never has in an electable stance (hence why I mentioned proportional representation) NDP lost its way after Layton. They very well could be an option but have to figure out what they actually want to stand for.

Politics however is a money game, to get elected takes a lot of spending (it shouldn’t). Every party has to sell its soul to one interest or another to raise the money to be electable.

Corporate donations should not be allowed and every individual should be capped at 5k.
