As a Canadian and an American, please learn from our mistakes. Do not give in to the 2-party system. There is a way.

Unless the Greens and NDP fix up their act regarding their leadership, I will be voting Liberal.

All respect to Jagmeet as a person, but his leadership skills are fairly weak. I take a look at everything Charlie Angus has been doing as of late and just keep thinking, "man, I wish he was the guy in charge". Bunch of petitions, incredible speeches, pissing off Rebel News into making counter-petitions that barely get a fraction of the signatures his petition got. Great stuff, just sucks he seems to be stepping out of politics by not running again.

Also the Greens are just a mess thanks to Annamie Paul. She as a party leader lost her own seat. It's ridiculous, imagine having the same outcome for your party leader as the fucking PPC. I'd consider throwing a vote their way, but Elizabeth May literally pushed for Paul heavily over Dimitri Lascaris in the party election when I think it's fairly clear that Lascaris would have better leadership skills for the party than Paul did.

Greens lost my support forever when they ratfucked Dimitri Lascaris and Maryam Haddad, just a shameful display of overtly anti-democratic values. All to install Paul who ended up failing catastrophically in less than two years.
