Let's do a thought exercise. You have three parties.
A) One which shares all of your principles.
B) One which shares some of your principles.
C) One which shares none of your principles.
Party (A) has zero chance of winning no matter what you do, but it's a close race between (B) and (C).
Are your principles better served by:
Hopelessly pissing away your vote on (A) which only helps make sure the party who least represents your principles (C) rules over you for the next four years.
Voting to make sure you end up with (B) instead of (C) since (B), while not your first choice, is still better than (C) even if just slightly.
?
Seriously. Don't talk to me about standing up for one's principles when you're voting in a way that makes sure the guy who least represents your principles stays in office forever. You don't get to call yourself a "principled conservative" and then vote to keep Trudeau in office for the foreseeable future.
Right. "Principles".

You don't believe in abolishing the carbon tax or scrapping Trudeau's 2020 gun ban? Are you sure you're not a Liberal?
Of course. When someone shows you the difference between the CPC and the LPC, just pretend it's not real. It's all a big conspiracy.
Edit: Speaking of conspiracies, how's all that QAnon "Trust the plan!" stuff working out for you guys?
LOL
