    Since I have never even once in my very long life been offered the opportunity to vote for the greater good I tend to vote for the lesser evil that stands a chance of being elected in my riding. It has thus far never been the green party. They have come in dead last in every riding I have lived in thus far. If they do become the least evil with a chance at a win they will probably get my vote. Until that point my vote is too important to just squander.

      Yeah the ndp screwed over the smaller parties of the province by setting up proportional representation to fail as a referendum as those are stacked in the favour of the status quo, as corporate media would fearmonger people against necessary change to strengthen canadian democracy. Couldn’t even have one part of the country that functioned with a pr as it would dispel against many myths of the system. The vote no group had more followers on Facebook.
