The right is always trying to lie and confuse voters.
No, it wasn’t, but I think I’m going to concentrate on municipal elections where my vote actually makes a difference. I already know my riding will vote Conservative no matter what I vote myself, so my provincial vote is nothing but a protest vote, and the political gossip isn’t worth examining for me until the dust settles.
If you want to make a difference in provincial politics join the party of your choices EDA and try to court a good candidate. That’s the big thing that can tip scales.
Hit up members of the community that were visible and/or made differences. Ex: Old mayors or councilors that were positively viewed, leaders of successful business that have retired, that sort of thing.
Vote in both even if it feels like it doesn’t matter.
Well yes; that goes without saying. I’ll vote for who seems to be the best candidate presented. The difference is that I already know what the result will be provincially; it’s been the same in every election for the past 30 years. But at the municipal level, I can actually help shift the discussion, and I hope that in the long term, this will eventually spill over into provincial politics as well.
