If you want conservatism without the rampant homophobia and christian nationalism just vote Liberal.

The community that I moderate is a key reason I didn't vote liberal this election. both sides have their faults and while I support government funded healthcare an dental an such I also strongly support the choice to live freely without the government having to stick their nose in every little thing you do.

I’m no Christian and certainly don’t believe they’re being targeted to the extent Pierre is making people believe, I stand by what I said originally. Yes I think Pierre is a tool, but I see him as a better tool than Carney.

I am humored at the "both sides" argument here.

You support universal healthcare, dental and such, and vote for people who would sell those services to the highest bidder in the private sector without batting an eye.

By no means am I saying that the liberal party is 100% perfect or immune to bullshit, but there's a difference between stepping in shit, and taking a swim in a septic tank.

Your voting for the septic tank because you don't like it when your shoes smell like shit.

Good job.

I have bad news for you but the Conservatives love to force things on people. It’s a big part of who they are. They vote against LGBT+ people’s rights and many think are supportive of what’s going on in the US. They take away services so that private industry can come in and charge you an arm and a leg for a worse service. They threaten the CBC because apparently for-profit media is somehow less biased(it’s less likely to point out how shit they are and doesn’t ask them hard questions which is apparently “bias”). Alberta Conservatives are trying to put stickers on driver’s licenses belonging to immigrants for fuck’s sake.

The Conservatives aren’t good people and they don’t care about freedom if it means the freedom to do anything outside of their little ideal. Carney also sucks but a) this isn’t a two-party system and b) if the Cons are your lesser of two evils then you need to sit down and process why that really is.

Don't be a single issue voter.

The best thing you can do is to campaign for election reform among your peers.
