So here's the issue. I align more with NDP but I don't want conservatives to win. I don't want to split the vote between NDP and liberals so I end up voting for the more popular candidate which ends up being the Liberals.

This is the issue with the current voting system. If only there was a different voting system proposed. Maybe one party could even back it. Maybe we can vote that party in power and then can actually change our voting system /s

This type strategic voting against Liberals and Conservative is how Canada has just alternated between two bad parties for the last few decades.

Progress takes time and it doesn't mean every single moment things have to go in the right direction. Canada can survive the Liberals and Conservatives for a couple more terms it means some type of political progress.
