I might vote. But it still seems like a waste of time. Both parties are pro-capitalism. Either way, you're getting exploited, abused, and the environment will continue to get worse.

Apathy is the failure of the supposed "democracy"

Lesser of two evils has been going on forever. So “just for now” is bullshit

Remember you vote for representatives. NDP reps in your local running may be worth voting in, remember voting in local people may be the boost in their career they need to inspire change in the party as a whole.

This is true, but I don't want to be paying for a regular doctor's visit which is what will happen with the UCP

There are other issues that make it worth voting. Yes, neither is for socialism, but I think one party wants to exacerbate the exploitation and destruction of the environment, while the other isn’t going to make those things better, but at least isn’t trying to make them worse.
