I wish I could do that, but it's not worth the risk when my local guy wins and we lose massively at a federal level, so local guy can't really do much of anything at all.

Which alternative should I have chosen: Voting for who I want and letting Cons win, or not voting at all and letting Cons win.

If the threat of losing the election was to the Liberals then yes. But until we ditch fptp we're stuck with a two party system pretending to be a multi-party system.

I'm not sure that people voted for Carney as much as they were backed into a corner and forced to vote for him as a vote against Poilievre.

It needs reform, however not voting means you are just as okay with the elected official as you are somebody else getting voted in. If people cared to try to get him out, they would vote. In fact, with the system as broken as it is, it's even more important to go out and vote if you don't want him.

Most of Ontario didn't even vote, so most of Ontario DID want him.

I like how we're sinking more money into a dying industry instead of spending it to push renewables and become a leader there. What happens when our pipelines are worthless? Our land becomes fucked, our economy becomes fucked, and we have nothing left.

Democracy only works when people actually go out and fucking vote.

Gotta trigger people to go out and vote. We could have 999 elections, and they'd all have the same result if people continue to not bother voting. That's why we are where we are now - everybody wants to bitch and complain, nobody wants to actually go out and make a difference when they have the chance.

Prob move to Alberta and take up residence under Smith's desk.

He should tell that to the landlords, not the renters.

I wish we could just ban advertising period. It's psychological manipulation that's been perfected and concentrated over the years, and it's only getting worse.
