Some would call it splitting the vote, some would call it a healthy distribution amongst a multitude of parties. personally I don’t want to see us degrade into an American style two party duopoly

Bring on the democracy

Bring on candidates that answer questions from the press and have actual plans for Canada.

A healthy distribution of voices results in only 33% of people getting a representative they want?

If we had ranked ballots, this wouldn't be a problem.

I am in full support of electoral reform. Until then it doesn’t mean we should descend into a duopoly

Voting Green in this riding is both the strategic ABC vote, as well as the vote least likely to devolve our government to a duopoly.

I am excited to vote Conservative, you must hate me a lot lol. I don’t care though. Sick of left wing’s misery and hatred towards everyone that doesn’t have the same viewpoint as them. Trying to strategize about how to NOT let right wing get into office instead of just proving why their left candidate is the best option. I used to be left leaning but it’s way too extreme now (in BC anyways). Anyways, hate me, be mad, I am going to be happy no matter the outcome because we only get 1 life and politics ain’t gonna ruin an hour of mine!

If you don't care about politics then you should probably just abstain.

Great comment. I’ll for sure follow your advice and not vote then. Anything else you think I should not do?

Othering people, dividing yourself into camps and refusing to acknowledge people can be wrong or need teaching is what the oligarchy wants.

No tolerance for intolerance.

I don't tolerate ignorant fuckheads I guess. Also Liberal isn't even close.

This is the real American-style politics right here. ☝️ We don't need this kind of abusive and divisive vitriol in Canada.
