    None of the parties are running anyone I remotely want to vote for,

    When you vote for no one, studies show it favours the conservatives. So you’re still voting.

    which is kind of insane.

    I’ll say. We always choose the least-worse bunch who can bring a plan through that will help the most Canadians. That’s always the plan.

    Dump Trudeau at this point.

    I get it. He’s boring. Has hasn’t tuned us to withstand the epidemic AND delivered on a impressive list of other things.

    Yeah. That and some poor makeup choices by his drama teacher 30 years ago and yeah, he’s obviously Satan.

    At this point, are you just trying to find reasons to not support an option because it makes the cons look less cruel and elitist?

    Dump Polloevre, or don’t, I’m not Conservative anyways

    Ah, but even in that you kind-of are.

    Subtle.

      Not wanting to vote for any of them doesn’t mean I won’t vote, I will absolutely vote.

      I’ve liked Trudeau for a long time, I just don’t think he’s a winner right now. The liberals were the only party that could have gotten Canada through the Trump years, and they did a good job during the pandemic. They’re a good steady state party that has done decent foreign policy, and decent economic policy, and they’ve had a long run.

      But on other issues they’ve been very middle of the road when we have really needed policy change, housing being the biggest one where action was clearly needed 2018, before the pandemic. Adding the mortgage stress test was a good step, but the first time home buyer plan and savings accounts did nothing, all their policy did was push demand without anything robust pushing supply.

      I actually like the carbon tax, but I wish they hadn’t folded on home hearing oil, they should have managed that better.
