Certainly going to be an interesting election. I will be voting for either the NDP or Green, probably depending on specific policies and candidates.
I have been extremely disappointed by Trudeau and also my local candidate Raj Saini, who I met with before the election and he convinced me to vote for him because he supported electoral reform. After it died, I sent him a letter asking him to stand up for it, and I received a party form letter in response. I will be marking the liberals as my second choice on the next ballot, it's on them that such a gesture means absolutely nothing.
Sadly, I do fear that this will simply get the conservatives elected, and Scheer is making a strong argument for a strategic vote, but it's not that strong yet. It pisses me off to no end that instead of leaving the crazy racist nationalist parts of the party to Bernier, and embracing good conservative policies, which I would certainly respect, and frankly, in some cases support, we're faced with this insane garbage polarization, the same thing that destroyed US politics.
I am sad though, I've seen almost no coverage of the NDP lately, I don't know why this is. I have no problem with Singh, but the only thing I know of him was that he was on the CBC riding a bike. I sure wish I could get more coverage of him so I'd actually be able to make an informed vote, but I guess that's not the purpose of the media...if it ever was.
