Lots of chatter in here about not supporting the conservatives. But, there's no options for Canadians. Liberals are outta gas and haven't done anything praiseworthy in a while. Conservatives suck and PP would just be a lamer Harper who wants to eat the poor. The NDP need a new leader as J.S. hasn't made headway in years.

More importantly, theyre all just arguing about how to tweak the broken, oppressive system we live with. No one is advocating for change. It's just a debate over who thinks they can keep liberal capitalism afloat. But liberal capitalism is the root of the problems. We have no advocates for change.

I vote we all go pull a 1919 Winnipeg and have a Canada-wide general strike in support of truly radical change. Change that pulls us away from rampant neoliberalization and rejects the basic assumptions of liberal capitalism.

Ok...but why elect a government that we KNOW is going to be worse? That hurts us. They cut revenue, cut services, run up the deficit and the debt, then lose and blame the Liberals for their mess. We would be better off to just stick with the Liberals who are bumbling idiots but at least they aren't actively trying to fuck us over to give billions of dollars to the wealthy and corporations. That doesn't make any fucking sense.
