I'm Canadian. I've been a staunch NDP voter my entire voting life because my MLA does good for my community/town and I like their policies. However, this election I'm torn. I don't want to vote NDP because they're retarded, and I don't want to vote Liberal because I'm not retarded.
I've been doing a lot of research about PP and I just really don't know. A really close friend of mine has been suckling on PP's pp, spouting off about how he's going to "fix" Canada, how he's going to make it so we can buy houses and get the gangs/guns/junkies/drugs off the street, how he's going to fix everything Trudeau ruined. I think my friend isn't looking at things objectively. PP is a career politician who has only managed to get one bill passed in his entire career. All PP does is say "axe the tax" or some other catchy slogan. I don't know, he rubs me the wrong way and I don't entirely trust him to lead our country out of the abysmal shit hole Trudeau dug us into. The Conservatives have historically been all about helping big business and not the little guys. I read the entire Conservative platform, and I like what it has to say.
But, it seems like voting anything but Conservative this election would be me throwing my vote away.
I live near a large city with a temperate climate year-round so it's homeless central. The down town core is a shell of its former self. Businesses are dying, staples/gems of the community are closing their doors because of lasting consequences due to the pandemic on top of the homeless/junkie crisis and greedy landlords. I want my city back. I'm tired of stepping on human shit in the street and walking past people zoinked out of their minds on fentanyl.
Can someone more versed in PP man tell me why he's the best choice?
I actually liked Layton and was watching a documentary featuring him. He won over Quebec, took his party to become the official opposition, and even campaigned while having cancer.
I may disagree with his policies, but he actually seemed to care- unlike some current NDP politicians.
You have two options this election, imo. Both of them lead to a failed state, and I will put that out there.
PP will not fix the problems. He's inexperienced, we're too deep in, and he literally has said nothing except slogans. As highlighted earlier, he's just a more controlled demolition.
If you're still in Canada, he's the better choice because he might slow the decline a bit. If he does, I cannot understate this, use the opportunity to get out. There's permanent damage done to the country, there's no way we're getting rid of the Indians, not with the average Canadian fucking for them. Get out, and use the opportunity to either do so, or to insulate yourself as much as you can.
The other choice is voting liberals. I'd consider voting conservative just to spite the boomers and those who 'forget that the nation was fucked because Trump is a big orange cheeto' and I don't want to see them vindicated.
But realistically, letting them fail that iq test and suffering the consequences would be just enough. I think we need to hit undeniable rock bottom for any sort of actual change to occur with the way Canadian morons are.
The problem is if you're still in Canada as well. Imo, there's only one really rational vote for the good of Canadians, and it's not one that's going to save any of them to be honest. Vote PP to slow the decline a little bit, but that's all this is. Slowing it down, not stopping it. It's too late to stop things today. Slow the decline down a little, try to get out, and then let the remaining Canadians like Mike Myers of all people figure things out I guess.
