Unfortunately, in our current political system, not voting IS a vote for Poliviere.
I know what you mean but not really. I cannot vote for him even if I wanted to. And if I vote, it could end up helping his party anyway.
and it doesn’t have to be a vote for the liberals
At the very least, you’re participating in your community and choosing the MP in your riding which has an impact on your community.
That’s the thing. It doesn’t. And yes it has to be for the Liberals.
I live in Laurier-Sainte-Marie so my current MP is the wonderful Liberal “environment” minister Steven Guilbault. His closest opposition is Nimâ Machouf from the NDP. She wanted to close the bridges and isolate Montreal during the pandemic. Every interview I saw of her scared me. Then the next candidate is erhm… I don’t know their name… from the Bloc Québecois. Then very far behind you have the Conservatives “battling” with the Greens.
So even if I voted or not, you can be assured that the Conservative candidate where I live doesn’t even stand a chance. It’s a Liberal vs NDP race. And as I said, me voting wouldn’t help the Liberals anyway. My vote could end up helping the Conservatives by having the Liberal candidate potentially losing to the NDP candidate, weakening the Liberals even more!
