“I now vote for the person I want to win” congratulations on becoming a person who Truely understands elections
you'd be surprised how many dont
@@CoreOfMidas I understand the elections are rigged in the USA
The two-party system forces so many people to vote for the lesser evil, and I really do believe that we have to play the game since it’s often times unavoidable that voting for your first choice will result in the people with completely opposite opinions winning. There’s a reason we only have two major parties, while Europe is full of smaller parties that represent a plurality of opinions. But considering the two ruling parties dominate politics because of the election system, they will never change it, especially when the party most open to the idea (Liberal) refused to change it even when it was an election promise
@@darkdragon5520 it feels like the game was rigged from the start, as you could not have control on which you wished to participate.
Its like ordering from a restaurant but you are forced to choose betweens two really bland dishes, even though the place has the ingredients and the tools to at least, serve a more decent plate.
It is definitely a fallacy of First Past the Post voting, but I'd also say it's not totally baseless. You can have a very bad transition period if the political landscape wants to change rapidly. The average well off, or getting by, person are especially worry of such changes.
Good on you that you’re finally taking that step!
And voting is ‘secret’ anyway, so if anyone tries to push on the subject just tell em to stuff it!
or just lie
@@HydraAurum Yeah idk why people are so against lying when its something we all do. Best to just be aware of it and do it when necessary and not for petty bs.
something we should bring back is the idea that asking how someone voted is rude
Damn, she really evolving. Getting more based by the day. Glad to see people reach a point in their life when they achieve true individuality.
Trudeau Sucks
He doesn’t just suck he’s literally going against us Canadian for his agenda
A bit, yeah, I'd still prefer him against Pierre Poilievre (in part because I can never spell his name properly without looking it up and in part because I'm quite left wing) and I'd still prefer him over Jagmeet Singh who's just there to push the Khalistan agenda. The other parties have no shot. Would probably be smart if Liberals just ran a different candidate for prime minister, people really hate Trudeau for whatever reasons, and there seem to be a lot of people voting against Trudeau rather than for other parties. Throw up someone new against Pierre and watch as Liberals become popular again.
@@saphironkindris "Jagmeet Singh who's just there to push the Khalistan agenda" sounds like a very particular objection XD.
@@saphironkindrisi dont like any of our modern political parties in canada myself, i’m quite strongly right wing and conservative and i find our modern conservative way too milquetoast and almost center-left
@@kamerad4749> vaguely German username, claims to be “esoteric”
You’d be sent to a camp lmao
“Would you like the red corporate puppet or the blue corporate puppet?”
Fuck the Big Two
Unfortunatley if youre on the right your options are conservative, ppc or some tiny christian partis and with Pollievre leading the conservatives they are looking very similar to the ppc so not much of a choice at all
I remember turning 18 and being able to vote, my mother and maternal grandparents took me to vote on some local election, mom wanted to know who I voted for and I refused to tell her because that's personal information based on my beliefs that may or may not align with hers, grandparents understood but she did not and to this day still tries to figure out who I vote for when I vote
it's honestly wild to me how we (in the US) morphed into a "you need to vote in lockstep with a party and make that public information" despite our election laws being built by people refusing to bow down to parties every time they tried to get more control over how people vote...guess soft power exertion is the more dangerous threat to individuality
It's because of team psychology.
Everyone wants to support THEIR team, no matter what team it is. So they go to the events wearing the colours, the uniform, the hat, etc.
There's a level of social sickness to do with it where intellectuals don't generally fall for the trick but most average people (who are stupid) do fall for it, so you get a bunch of fringe people saying "Hey this doesnt sound or look right" and the herd looks at you with a hate filled dead stare for daring to mention that their teams are bad.
Canadian... my condolences.
CZcams has been throwing you at me for like three days and I would like to say that I absolutely love your design. Everything is distinct and it feels like there's a lot of details without being overcrowded. And a black and gold colour scheme never goes wrong.
It's a shame that politics has devolved to just picking the least terrible choice of two candidates. Bipartisanship has been a forgotten concept for over a decade now.
there is still bipartisanship, in most cases while the parties may say different things they in the end always push the same policies at differing speeds.
May Trudeau never see the light of office again
I don’t vote on personality or good boy policy. I vote on are they going to get the job done. I don’t need to like them just the policy’s they push.
I hate how each party is always a package deal of a few good things with a bunch of crap.
It does force me to stop and sort out what issues matter the most to me, at least.
please please please not Trudeau please 🙏🙏🙏
midas 2024 lets gooooo
Dude is either a vampire or a Highlander, I swear....you know he's approaching _60_?
Who's Trudeau? Canadian Trump or smth?
@@LaggerKnightimagine the worst possible mix of bernie and george soros.
And then make the result a fratboy that never grew up
@@LaggerKnightdefinitely NOT Trump. Justin Trudeau has pushed so many socialist policies and used government money for so much recreational use, that the Canadian economy is at an all time low, where, much like America under our current administration, inflation is skyrocketing, and the housing market is shot. So, basically the complete opposite of Trump, who is a capitalist, and worse than Biden, if that were possible.
Two party elections are "Vote for the most popular people you would rather have than the other most popular people you don't want."
And that's sad because it's voting with your political fears rather than your political wants and needs.
You either get a Nutcase in a Red Tie or and Nutcase in a Blue Tie.
democracy will always devolve to pandering to the lowest common denominator given time. listen to interviews from people like nixon and ask why is it that we cannot have those who speak like him instead we have those who merely throw insults at each other to rile up their crowd. once you have figured it out look further back to debates under the monarchs of europe and question when we were most civil in debate.
Honestly all I want is Trudeau gone
Have you looked at the other option😬
@@sirtheopolis5085 pierre is a godsend to canada. wtf are you talking about?
Agreed
@@sirtheopolis5085yeah infinity better u need strong republican leadership
Just remember that the powers that be love to give a choice of evil versus evil. Both evils wear a mask of good until in office and they can start messing things up. Rarely does an actual good person get to a high office.
It’s super difficult because I also have beliefs that fall on both sides of the spectrum. I don’t want voting to be a game to play with people’s well-being, I want a safe, efficient, and happy place for everyone
That will never happen. You can't make something for everyone. Canada should be for Canadians, and people who want to be Canadians. That's it. That's all.
@@Alyrael
It seems kinda redundant to point out that saying “for everyone” means “every citizen in this country and only those people,” I think. I don’t reckon most folk would assume that everyone would imply every single person on the planet or anything. (Not trying to be rude or anything, just genuinely wondering if there’s a reason you felt warranted clarification or not
@@15Monkes he's referring to the trend of imported voters, who have no intention of becoming "Canadian" and just wish to ruin this country like they did their previous one. also one of the main crisis in this country is the housing crises. over the last 3 years the population was inflated by close to 15% by immigration the housing availability has declined by more than that. so at the moment its not sustainable. never mind the increase in crime in large cities and rural areas. and the current government just wants to bring more in and it seems like they want to replace the voting populous with people who are in their debt so they stay in power. also the current governments weekly scandals. and their infringement on Canadians rights and property. im just fed up.
@@zomgz932 However, the housing issue isn't new. Just because it is in the media finally doesn't been it hasn't been a problem for decades now.
Also, it this iteration of worrying about people '...who have no intention of becoming "Canadian"...' different from every other version of the same concern in the past?
@@slowjamsliver7006 Well, there'll always be people who go somewhere with 0 intention of properly integrating. The main issue is that there's an almost 15% increase in population due to immigration. 15% over 3 years is massive for most nations; and it being by immigrants is wild. The US is having similar issues, and all the places these immigrants go to are getting ruined, so yes it's a pretty big issue. It'd just be great if this wasn't an issue at all, but a lot of places suck unfortunately and people gotta live so, only so much we can do.
Honestly this needs to be heard by more people. I'm male and i used to live with an extremely liberal mother and sister so i was always scared that they would hate me if i voted differently. Having your voice silenced out of fear from the ones who should understand you is suffocating.
I voted for the side that said they'd be ok with me voting for the other sides (we have more than 2 parties here)
They have not succesfully gotten anything done aside from an "anti-climate bill" (as the green party called it) that had a bigger positive impact on the environment than the green party has had from their founding.
Who you vote for is a personal thing. If someone asks you, and you tell them you don't wanna share or discuss it with them, it should be absolutely acceptable to do so, and they should stop there.
I'm lucky to be surrounded by people who mostly understand that, exceptions notwithstanding.
Vote for the shit you want. Many people waving their spleens around and throwing them at other people over it have massive problems.
voting for the shit you want has led to trudeau, he promised the lowest common denominator other peoples things and got elected on it. democracy requires a populace that can all think long term and make temporary sacrifices(10-30 years of sacrifice) for the greater good instead of voting for more welfare now and canada has proven it does not have the populace.
Shockingly civil comment section for politic being the topic, very pleasantly surprised. I also second this, get'em gone.
Well us Canadians can have a Canada wide vote overturned because one city decided to vote differently. Practicing politics here in Canada is just practicing in futility
@@elijahaitaok8624 well if Ontario decides to keep turdo its basically set in stone once the vote hits Manitoba. cuz if its not close already western Canada just dose not have the population to swing the vote even if it was every single person voted against. Ontario has 122 seats Quebec has 71. the rest of the provinces and territories add up to 125.... in total... see where the issues is? the last 2 elections the liberals lost the popular vote but won because most of their votes were in Ontario. its really frustrating not having a voice.
Best voting policy is to vote on the issue and not the party
Definitely 2nd this
Based. This is why I solely vote for 2nd Amendment rights
I want electoral reforms, economically market socialist reforms, independence for Québec and better economic intervention. What am I supposed to do? If I vote for the Bloc nothing I want will get done since they don’t have the power to enforce any of this. I obviously won’t vote conservative. The liberals are just neutrally bad in their status quo. And the NDP probably won’t win.
@@darkdragon5520The thing is, I will still vote for the bloc because in the case where there is a conservative minority government, they will have to form a coalition to keep the power and their only real choice is the bloc which means that they might push policies that I support
@@Marr-Kaus While the Bloc is kinda left-wing, I’m more radical in what I believe Québec should look like, and while I am ready to compromise alot, there is simply not enough that the Bloc is able/ready to give (and with a conservative government, the only good things that they might be able to push is social/political reforms or autonomy and not moderate-left-wing economic reforms, which is really important considering the state of the economy right now)
This is refreshing. Thank you for pointing out that being a democratic country shouldn't mean "Vote for our sports team or we'll break your monster energy slabs". all this animosity over politics these past 6 to 8 years was not the Canada I grew up in.
Canada doesn't have ranked choice or proportional? Then yeah, it's most practical to vote for one of the big parties.
Whenever is planing on doing the least damage, and least screwing over of people always gets my vote.
But we have a ranked choise system in Australia, so we can vote for whomever we like and still direct our votes to the better two of the big parties, end up going to should the smaller party candidate not get enough first choice votes.
What's funny is Trudeau's major platform when he first got elected was reforming the election system to be a ranked system where you choose which parties you want in a tiered list. He of course never did that because it's harder to rig elections with that system. I've spoken to people who voted Trudeau just for that policy and its quite sad.
I wish more people were like you. Thinking about who's gonna do the most good instead of being a fanatic.
I absolutely love how wholesone you can be sometimes. But thanks for making the videos feel more like a conversation with a friend than "look at me I'm cute asf pet me rawr". I like some vtubers like that but this is a lot more unique and fun in my opinion.
Hope ya have as much fun talking to us as we do watching you, Midas
I'm happy to hear you're getting more comfortable with yourself, and it's cute to see your immediate usage of such a thing is being a helpful lil gremlin.
American Liberal is a term that doesn't realy have a meaning. Rightist use it to mean leftits, leftists use it either to mean a subgroup of conservatives or to mean whoever they don't like
I live in nz. Our two major parties are so similar that it doesn't really matter who you pick. At times, I wish more would happen here, but then I see American politics, and im ok with ours
Americans politics are crazy.
Here in Australia, the differenare nowhere near as stark, but we do have one party who has climate change deinailists, and those who want tax cuts just for the rich, so there's a decent amount of difference there.
At least at the federal level. In my state, its more similar. While those parties each make lots of noise about housing affordability and protecting environment and so on, but once in it's a big fight to get them not to do the same stupid things the other party were planning to do.
I miss people being able to have differing political opinions, but still being able to be civil about it. Nowadays you're just a monster (no pun intended) if you don't vote the same way everyone in your life votes. I miss being able to be a moderate, instead of being "a fence sitter"
That's why I never say who I'm voting for and avoid discussing other people choice.
Voting for a certain party just because it's been tradition within families has always been insane to me. Same for voting because the candidate is popular. At the end of the day everyone should be looking into their candidate, their policies, then you decide. Otherwise we just keeping going in the same flat circle, nothing actually changing.
People talk about wanting change but chances are that change might start with you.
That is the way to look at it. Vote as an individual.
Voting is an important right. You should always vote for who you want not who you think your friends or family want.
The struggle of being an issue voter is that you almost always have to be pragmatic and measure your losses when final casting your vote.
All my life, the people around me thought that the person they want in office won't get elected. So why should they vote because it won't matter. And to me, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy thing. Because yeah. They're lack of a vote doesn't amount to anything as a collective for who they want to support. So ever since I have been able to. I've been voting.
considering it took one city to vote Trudeau and the Liberals in last election while the majority of other provinces and territories voted elsewhere, our votes literally don't matter. I live in Nunavut, 1 of ~100,000 people up here, One seat in Ottawa, even if we all voted one person our vote doesn't matter compared to Toronto or Montreal
I live in Quebec, the whole province except montreal is just going to vote Bloc anyways. Last election they had over 50% of the vote in my district with a ~65% turnout. Bigger turnout than years prior and Bloc just expanded their lead. Literally doesn't matter how I vote, even if I personally convinced 10k hardcore Bloc voters to switch over with me to vote for the second place party, Bloc would still win. Has been solid Bloc for over 20 years with only a few deviations coinciding with national waves. Second place is liberals with 25% of the vote and they're as unpopular as ever going into the next election.
the jiggle physics with the tie are making my head hurt
I’d like to remind everyone to vote on policy not just personality and to also remember a party’s history of policy implementation. The liberals said they’d do a lot and often did the exact opposite. A lot of the policies of the green, people’s, and Conservative Party currently aren’t great and the funding base of the conservatives is the same as the liberals so if they got power nothing is likely to change. As much as I generally dislike the NDP in the past year they’ve put through quite a few extremely positive bills such as the grocery subsidies that just got passed to deflate grocery prices. I’m not saying vote NDP or any other party but to just look at a party’s policies and history
very well said Midas. It would do good to people if they hear what you are saying here.
The current canadian goverment giving a standing ovation to someone that was part of the failed austrian painter with the funny moustache's shenanigans in the early 20th century, will always be funny af.
And will always be indicative of the fact that the liberal party aren't liberal, they're progressive authoritarian with many beliefs that go in line with that certain painter.
Hurray my dyslexia kicked in. I thought the title was The Canadian Electrician.
I think the issue is that most people don't know much about the political systems of their country, sure some nerds like us care about things like electoral reform but the rest mostly care about everyday stuff like whether there are enough schools or that their busses are running on time.
I'm sure a good portion don't even know the name of the candidate they'll vote for before they enter the voting booth and see their name on the paper.
I've flip-flopped between parties a lot but I'm probably voting liberal this year, not because I like Trudeau or the liberals but because the alternatives show absolutely no sign of being better and this is a condition any First Past The Post voting system creates.
Californians under Newsom: we feel your pain.

Fully realizing your own volition is wonderful self discovery.
Idk why I got this recommended but it's nice to another Canadian vtuber and one who I'm alike with. Thank you for this video it kinda explains how it be especially with some with how they vote. Also love your model it looks great I like the design.
Between Trudeau, P.P. And Singh… I’ll vote for May!!
You want to vote for an American that literally called hard working Canadians scum in parliament?
I don't do strategic voting so the ones I vote for never get in but I never regret my vote
But is it really a good idea? I think you should never attach yourself to your vote emotionally, it's just going to create mental stress for you without bringing any benefits
I wonder how Canadians or Americans view their politics differently from where i’m from. I doubt any friendships would be game ended by wanting one party or the other to win. I have noticed that our country cares a shit of a lot more about America’s politics, and for good reason. Those are the only heated arguments that happen and even then it’s not a friendship ender like turning out to be into little kids is.
Thankfully I never had this problem. Who we voted for only came up at voting time and my parents voted for different parties and put no pressure on us to vote for either of theirs. "Just vote what you want to" is what they used to say to us.
My god i am appalled that you midas,have an opinion,this is truly the greatest shock of all time
As a person who lives in a country with 19 goddamn political parties. I’ve fully given up on all things political because it just sounds like a bunch of idiocy spouted by goblins in trenchcoats!

Voted in 3 Canadian federal elections so far in my life and for 3 different parties (first one was Rhinoceros Party), sometimes it's really hard not to feel black pilled on federal politics but it is what it is.
I also once accidentally shook hands with my provinces Premier while piss drunk
That last part got me good...
But
I have to ask... were you drunk of Maple Syrup? Lol
@@FireFlanker1 always, it's required to survive the winter
The rhinoparty is an actual joke of a party, yet they would still do better than any of the mainstream parties if elected. Which I find rather sad
Nice vote on the Rhinoceros Party XD Are they still offering to make ocean front property in Alberta?
It's okay, Midas. I'm an American but solidly in the same boat as you. My mothers are very liberal but I grew up in a decently small town, so it wasn't uncommon for people to just go to school and buy eggs or venison or whatever off a friend or something. G*ns are another issue though my mothers hate them and I just think they're neat. So I often don't agree with my parents on things. it really sucks to be in the center of the political spectrum.
I have no clue how Canada works Midas, but if it works somewhat like the U.S, you can vote for any individual you want, but you can also vote for laws too. But it may not work that way in Canada, so just try to vote for whoever fits your wants and more importantly your needs the most
Voting as a a Canadian literally doesn't matter
Broadly speaking, voting period does not matter. The entire premise is an inherently doomed system.
Voting for the person who wants to win is a very controversial position to have, especially down here in the usa. Most people just vote the party line and don't actually read or research the things they vote on. I dunno, it feels very overwhelming sometimes, but that's probably how we've gotten into the mess that we're currently in.
Your friends shouldn't be forcing you to think like they do. If that is the case, they are not friends.
I can respect this and, in my opinion, you touched on something that both sides of hardliners over look. For most of us, there's some good on both sides. Albeit, one is sorely lacking over the past 10 years, give or _take_ two.
I'll check out more of your stuff, even though it's, possibly, not related much to this topic.
I have no idea why but I find it very funny that the entire video is completely unbiased except for the last four seconds
I voted liberal party back in 2015, for a couple of changes they were running on. One of the important ones was electoral reform and getting away from first past the post to mixed member proportional or ranked ballot... anything but FPTP.
Then when they won a majority government with just less than 40% of the popular vote, they spent money researching other voting systems and just kind of tabled the whole thing... failing to keep that promise clearly had /nothing/ to do with them winning a majority they wouldn't win with a more fair voting system, right?
I haven't even looked at when the next election is scheduled for, or what all the parties are saying they'll do at the moment, guess I should get on that -- not like anyone holds them to keep their promises anyways though.
Quick rundown of the parties and what they wanna do at the moment:
Liberals - Return Canada back to the corona period where we had to wear masks and the economy was even more horrible, further increase carbon tax to take even more from the people so they can take more vacations.
Conservatives - Attempt to lower the cost of living while still keeping mass immigration policy so they don't insult immigrant voters. (Won't work as mass immigration is the core reason for high cost of living)
NDP - Grasping for any sort of support from their voters after selling their soul to the liberal party. Actively working against the workers they claim to be working for, only caring for the desk job federal workers rather than the ones working the mines and the power plants.
Green - Wanting to return Canada to a tribalistic state again like always, but this time with an American leader insulting hard working Canadians at the same time by comparing them to "scum that rises up in the pot"
PPC - Wanting to bring back freedom to the people and lower taxes and cost of living without being afraid to lower immigration quotas to manageable levels around 100k a year (Similar to US immigration numbers by population size)
Conviction is i a very important part of self growth. Always chose what YOU think is right.
As someone who actually does pretty consistently votes third party, I am far happier being politically irrelevant than just going with "the acceptable party" where I live. I get raked over the coals for it every year, but I'm sticking to my guns on what I believe in, and that is that neithet of the main two parties have my best interest in mind. Besides, if that mindset is how you Canadians got stuck with Trudeau, its also how we got stuck with the geriatric on the other side of the border.
My parents told us basically this handy tip if we didnt know who we should vote for
If you dont know vote for a person you know in the area or vote for the third party. Maybe it becomes big enough for it to have influence between the 2 big ones
Midas for Premier; let her steer the ship into the sun with style.
I didnt give a damn what my friends wanted, those friends are now gone and the ones i have left i could probably trust with my life
This randomly fell into my feed ... never thought I'd see the day when politics and Vtubers in one video.
Rise up! Don’t give in to peer pressure! 🗣️ ‼️
It's so weird to hear someone talking about election siriously when you lived most of your life in Russia.
For our friends south of the border, here's a quick and dirty summary of the Canadian political parties:
The Progressive Conservative Party. Pretty much like American Republicans. They tend to be fiscally frugal when it comes to social welfare, and routinely prioritize military spending and industry. Their scandals are usually themed around intolerance or deceiving voters about their agenda (sound familiar?). They like balancing the proverbial checkbooks and successful Conservative adminitrations usually finish their terms with the government having a surplus ready to deal with problems.
The Liberal Party. Like American Democrats, our liberals prioritize social welfare programs and public spending projects. Their scandals tend to be around corruption and (especially under Trudeau Jr) financial mismanagement. Reckless spending is very much a double-edged sword, but despite that, there's an argument to be made that more Canadians would have died during the Pandemic had the Conservatives been in power instead of the Liberals.
The New Democratic Party. While never getting a Prime Minister into office, only recently managing to become the main Opposition, the NDP are focused on workers and citizens rights and are heavily backed by the remaining workers unions.
The Green Party. Hardcore Environmentalists. They barely qualify at the national level, and really only have power at the provincial and municiple levels in British Columbia. They seek environmental reforms at all costs to get Canada back on track to the Kyoto accords emission goals. Their plans are detailed for all to see and would likely cost the country a significant hit to the economy to implement their proposals (even if it would be for the greater good).
The Bloc Quebecois. Seperatists. They want Quebec to become an independent state from the rest of Canada. Fuck that.
As someone who has studied history, something tells me that those bloc probably have a fair few of their ideas around isolationism and I've never really understood why Quebec has that mentality that seems to always get portrayed every so often of they just want nothing to do with the world. Because when you go isolationist whether you want to or not the world is going to come back with a big stick.
Again this is from an American who has had his country wave the stick a few times and had someone wave the stick at us at least once (pearl harbor), so take this with a grain of salt.
Comparing the conservative party to the republicans is such a stretch that you might pull a muscle doing it. I'd say they're more of a balance between the two major American political parties. We don't really have a party that is a genuine comparison to their republican party.
The cons aren't really pro gun, they're gun-neutral, they won't take the guns away but they also won't give them back. They are also in favour for mass immigration and would never even consider the idea of deporting illegal immigrants because it would be bad for their image. These are two major things that separate them from the republican party in the USA.
Really the closest thing to the republican party in Canada is the PPC, but even then it would be better to compare them to the American libertarian party as that's more accurate.
The Bloc is more about specifically representing the interest of Québec on the federal scene. Its the partie Québécois on the provincial level who is more centered on the topic of our independence.
That's good to hear ^w^ And if your votes are split because one side had half of what you want and so does the other side I would suggest right down 2 list of what they are and compare them to see which one you'd get more out of, what would be better in general, or what would be better for the long run (depending on how you see it)
決してあきらめない!
Well I guess I'm a stupid voter then because I always go for third parties solely because I refuse to allow my country to become a full 2 party system like America.
Remember to try to go online any research the people you can vote for, early on. Likely, the information may vanish, as elections approach.
I vote, but I never have any confidence that my opinion matters.
Extremes are on any side of political spectrums are always the worst and cause probably the most problems. Good luck to the Canadians and may your options be better than the U.S.!
I live in the UK and its the exact same. None of the parties fully represent my beliefs, all of them suck. And my friends all try to coerce me into suopporting green/labour. Fuck this. Im not listening to them anymore. Also Trudeau seems just as bad as sunak so i guess we're in this together
Gold with purple is a asthetic
I'm more or less immune to peer pressure so through sheer autism I have avoided this problem.
The thing about family influencing votes is super relatable, remember my family bringing me in to register to vote and informing me on what party I was going to sign under. Finally being free of that is super liberating and lets me do all sorts of fascinating research on things that I never thought to do when I was just voting on party lotalty
Best of luck to y'all Canadians this election!
Heres the thing instead of voteing for people vote for policy and the policy thats in your best interests and sadly yea neither of the two major parties can meet all the needs of libertarian minded people so im just putting and x over the whole thing when its my time to vote.
My sister literally told me if I vote conservative she'll never talk to me again, so yeah I'd say fuck trying to please people too
I never voted to please other people, because i do not tell others who i vote for.
But i still have no idea who to vote because they all do not represent me.
This should be a cold take, but with how people will condemn people for thinking differently from them......
We're cooked as a country, might as well go for the wackiest choice for the fun of it: Vive le Quebec libre! Vote pour le parti Quebecois osti de calisse!
Glad you're being more true to what you want, a very important thing. It'll be interesting to see where things go for Canada
Trudeau, the first Canadian black prime minister
As a fellow Canadian all I want is housing prices to go down and Trudeau to be gone. Is that so much to ask?
atleast getting rid of trudeau is easy, sadly at this point housing coming down will likely have to coincide with the economy collapsing as i dont see any party being able to back track on the states policies that have increased them thus far.
@@sellis2819 I mean if we stop bringing new people in for a few years that should give enough time for us to build new houses for the people already here but that would be racist or whatever so we just to live with one person apartment that cost 2000$ a month to rent:(

@@sellis2819 oh yeah totally it’s just frustrating because I work in healthcare and they bought a house for our foreign workers to live in and they wanted the facilities housekeeping to clean the house for them. While I can’t even buy a house for myself it’s just so frustrating and I like the foreign workers it just feels like they are playing favourites with them.
@@CorvinaWilkinson Sadly the conservatives would never touch immigration because 1. The leader's wife is an immigrant and 2. It's bad for public image with immigrant voters
you should be able to vote for policies that you want, instead of a person, and an automated system matches the candidate that fits the most of your desired policies
you're Canadian? my condolences
Proud of you takes a lot to move into the 'stuff I agree with party'. I actually had somewhat of an opposite experience, I voted very contrarian to my friends/family, but at some point was only doing it because I didn't want to deal with them thinking because I now agreed with them on specific issues I needed to come into the fold whole hog.
My fears were vindicated but it's still better to actually vote in your own interest.
See the problem for me is, I don't like the party that claims to speak for my beliefs because their actions are anithetical to what they're saying or they have no guts to go against the grain. So, I vote for the party that aligns most with my beliefs regardless if they win or not. A seat gained in Parliment is a seat more than none
Breaking a 2 party system isnt stupid if the winner cant get 50% it will give the smaller parties alot of leverage
All Hail " We will have 100 Million Population while helping our own pop there clogs " Trudeau,
Rock on, nothing is more awsome then "freedom " of mind/action.
Not a native hope the vibe and massage make sense 😅
Completely honest answer: I always forgot you could vote, most politics seems the same recycled crap, so I tend to mostly ignore it, Unless war is involved, or inflation / stock market, then I pay attention.
Thank you.
Glad to hear you've gotten out of peer pressure from friends or family, people really shouldn't care what others vode during elections but it's hard to avoid
That's the problem with pure democracy, peer presure and group think
