Canada

I already voted for Carney to lead the Libs, but I'll not be voting for him in the general election if he doesn't answer these ~~questions~~ issues three:

We need to see proportional representation. It will drive engagement, especially for this campaign.

We need to see a return to the days of the 1% and corporations paying their fair share, since they are the ones who most benefit from our systems and infrastructure.

We need an end to welfare for the 1% and corporations. We know what a balance sheet is, and so does Carney.

The move towards a two-party system is inevitable under first-past-the-post voting systems. This is why I considered Trudeau's betrayal of electoral reform to be a generational stab-in-the-back and swore I would never vote Liberal again.

And first-past-the-post is also why I am breaking that vow and voting Liberal in the upcoming election. My riding happens to be a "tossup" between Conservative and Liberal, and in this particular election I can't afford to "vote my conscience". The existence of Canada is at stake. And so I hold my nose really hard and recognize the reality of the facts before me.

Some people may be fortunate enough to be in ridings where a vote for NDP wouldn't literally help put Poilievre in power, but I am not. I must do what I can to actually help. I recommend everyone check your riding's polling numbers to confirm whether you have that luxury.
