Some of us live in areas where Liberals and Conservatives are neck and neck. A vote for anyone but Liberal is effectively a vote for Conservative under FPTP, and I'm not going to make it any easier for those traitors and bigots to ruin the country. Sure, Liberals are not what I want, but falling to fascism is a lot more not what I want. I very much want PR but where I live a vote for the parties that support it is just going to result in one more Conservative MP. I hate it, but we have seen in the US election what happens when people let fascists get a foot in the door.
My riding is pretty solidly Conservative. I don't think it has been anything else in its various incarnations since WWII. All I expect to get this time around is a protest vote, but I will be making my voice heard with it, and I will be telling them how they are failing us as Canadian citizens by sticking with FPTP when there are much more democratic options available.
This is me. My riding is a tossup Conservative/Liberal, with NDP currently given a pity 1% chance of winning and nobody else even given that.
This means that as angry as I am at the Liberals for the FPTP stab-in-the-back, that very FPTP system now requires that I vote Liberal for the sake of my country.
I am not happy about this. But in times of war you sometimes need to do unpleasant things you're not happy about.
I'm in Poilievre's riding. My buddy who is so hardcore left, he votes communist, is actively campaigning to get the Liberal here elected.
Call out to Bruce Fanjoy. I have no idea who you are, or what you look like, but I'm voting for you to kick the smug asshole out of government.
Fanjoy is getting a lot of support. He actually gives a shit about the riding, unlike pp who is only using it as a stepping stone.

That's good to hear. Since we may be stuck with him for 5 years.
But TBH, I would vote for a sack of potatoes right now if it had a red L on it.
Then after the election, you better be fighting your hardest to get proportional representation.
