(I posted this to Canadapolitics as well, but I wasn't sure if I'd get responses so trying here as well!)

Despite the research I've done and the debates I've watched, the fact remains I agree with some of each candidates platform and disagree with other parts. I'm really struggling with how to vote both provincial (Ontario) and federal.

I thought it'd be fun to get other people's opinion on the issues that matter most to you, why you think your candidate is trustworthy, and see if any of it helps solidify my vote! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Does a candidate accept a platform which hates others based on gender, race, or religion? They don't even need to have espoused those views themselves, but if they're willing to support a platform or other candidates who have those views.

They're disqualified from my list.

Im willing to listen to the policy ideas of pretty much anyone else.

A point of clarification, adjusting immigration can be racist but it can also not be racist. I'm willing to listen to non-racist reasoning and policies for adjusting immigration numbers.

Yeah that's something I take into consideration as well. So far the only thing I've seen is that the Conservatives platform says they want to ban gender affirming care for minors which personally concerns me given what's happening in the states at the moment.

I'm interested in learning whether that's even legal considering that discriminating based on gender identity is explicitly against the Charter.

Yeah I sure hope our protections are more robust than in the States so it wouldn't be possible 😬
