I'm all for minority governments and voting in greens or ndp etc., but often in a particular riding, there is only liberals or conservatives that have a chance. In that particular (common) case, if the original commenter would 'never vote liberal again' I just want to know if that's because they prefer to help PP's party become the government by not voting against their getting a seat, or if they just haven't thought that through. It's important to think through. It would be really bad to have a PP government.

That's called a "false dichotomy".

What's your other option then?

Continue to vote for principled candidates and parties that reflect your values while organizing in your community to advocate for voter reform to introduce policies like proportional representation and ranked choice voting.
