      As long as they can blame liberals, they’d be ok with making things worse.

      The fact is, all the hardship that most people are going through is likely down to their provincial leadership. Surprise, surprise, the majority are conservative.

      I believe only Newfoundland and Labrador has a liberal premier, and their cost of living is below average.

      But yeah, let’s have more pain and suffering.

        The problem isn’t even with Canada, it is a global phenomena. If you check news sites in other western democracies, they all have very similar struggles. The problem is wealth distribution is concentrated in too few people, and their wealth is such that like a black hole, it greedily consumes everything. The only solution is a readjustment of the global wealth pie, and break up many of these overly large monopolistic corporations. A vote for the cons is a doubling down of what we are already getting.

      All the Conservatives have to do is wait long enough and they’ll win an election. They literally don’t need to do anything. Eventually enough Canadians will blame the current Prime Minister for their city buses running late and vote in a Conservative.

      While our politics is not technically two party, in terms of parties which have held power it is, and people seem stuck in that mindset. They know they are unhappy with the status quo, they know they want change, and the only change a lot of people are willing to consider is the one with the history of austerity.

        So here’s the issue. I align more with NDP but I don’t want conservatives to win. I don’t want to split the vote between NDP and liberals so I end up voting for the more popular candidate which ends up being the Liberals.

        This is the issue with the current voting system. If only there was a different voting system proposed. Maybe one party could even back it. Maybe we can vote that party in power and then can actually change our voting system /s

          This type strategic voting against Liberals and Conservative is how Canada has just alternated between two bad parties for the last few decades.

          Progress takes time and it doesn’t mean every single moment things have to go in the right direction. Canada can survive the Liberals and Conservatives for a couple more terms it means some type of political progress.
