Only one poll counts and that’s voting day. Make sure to get out and vote, this is one of those pivotal points in history where everyone’s participation is critical.
The issue in my riding is that I usually vote NDP, but their candidate, while having worked in government before, hasn’t ever held an elected position…but he was born in the riding, went to elementary and high school in the riding, and I feel like he’s probably got his finger more on the pulse than the GP or Lib guys. Now I’m not opposed to voting Green, or strategically Liberal. The Green candidate also hasn’t been in an elected position, isn’t from the area, and also very young. Could strategically vote Lib, but while the incumbent Lib candidate is semi-local, experienced, hasn’t burnt the place to the ground yet… they’ve been dodging accusations of CCP interference getting them voted in in 2021. Sticky sitch.
I’ve got to send my mail in ballot soon to make the cut off. Just kinda unsure about what I want to do…
Tell me about it. I’ve voted for the party that best represents me for a while now. This election is wholly different as the incumbent is retiring and not up for re-election. My liberal choice is a “get in by any means” type who rolled as conservative two elections ago. I really like Carney but when it comes to voting strategically I’m not sure I can do it with the liberal candidate in my district, so may still go NDP. My district has no actual polling data either, just estimates, so that makes it all the more murky.
It’s not a great place we’re in currently for an election. But do as must. Like I said in a response to someone else, the demographics of my riding mean it’s a bit of a toss up between the Lib and Tory, with the Lib the more likely. I’ll probably just vote NDP. It’s their candidate’s first time, but we all start somewhere. Also the fact he is from the riding, grew up there, and has continued to be based there makes me more confident that he’ll do his best for the actual interests of the riding.
My wife is more politically savvy than me. She’s had a look at the NDP guy’s background, and feels like he might not be the worst choice. And we all start somewhere, not like experienced politicians just appear out of nowhere. The fact that he’s local, and is running in the riding he grew up in makes me feel a bit better about him.
The Green candidate has a GP page, but no way to get to it through links from the homepage. Also has no internet presence at all. Like literally the only thing that comes up is the GP page that is only discoverable by search… it’s not even linked to on the elections.ca page for my riding.
Probably gonna vote for the NDP guy. Due to the demographics of my riding it’s a toss up between the Lib and Tory winning. Don’t feel like a strategic vote is necessary what with the FPTP system we still use.

I’m in a very similar situation. The NDP and Green seem unqualified and the Liberal is lackluster.
