This is not what I voted for. What the fuck?
You can't really stand up to power by voting, unfortunately. All your choices are just different ways of giving these jackals power with more or fewer steps.
I hope there are local groups and organizations where you're at that you can join to start to organize a grassroots movement.
You voted for Liberals. Their only persistent trait is lying to the public about who they are and then siding with big business once elected.
Don't forget tgat the government of Canada was created to protect the interests of a blanket retailer. A part of our heritage™
And I don't think cons would have been any better.
Why do people constantly bring this up as if it was a valid argument? Of course the Conservatives wouldn't have been better. No one is saying that they would have. FFS you have other options.
It's hard to vote in a principled way knowing that it will lead to one more Conservative MP. We are in a bind with this electoral system, and of course the Liberals benefit most from it so will never change it.
That said, if the Liberals keep acting enough like Conservatives that people don't see a significant difference between their policies, it could undermine strategic voting and open the door to other parties.
Exactly this. I came to this conclusion a long time ago, so I guess it's nice to see others coming around to it.
I sincerely hope you learn something from this. This is the Liberal m.o. and has been for years. They're a big business party, and don't have typical Canadian's interests at heart. Their most redeeming feature is that they're not the Cons.
If you actually care about bettering the lives of typical Canadians, then look at what parties have track records of getting results. (Hint: A lot of Canadians just got dental care.)
PP didn't seem like a good choice to me. And there was no way any other party had a shot.
Because we're always told they don't have a shot.
But, let's just say, as of today, nobody votes liberal again. It would likely be the party that also gave use universal healthcare to at least take a minority.
No more vote splitting.
The only party that is remotely aligned with the people is the NDP. (And some greens.)
