No we don’t we just make fun of people voting PPC for being 1/3rd of the people who vote Green. It isn’t that we love the CPC it’s that the PPC is about as significant as the lesbian vote by the numbers.
The shit I took this morning got almost as many votes as all PPC candidates that weren’t the leader of the party.
Those who argue against ppc just come off as not understanding the bigger picture.
The thing is we do. The reason politicians are 'globalists' doesn't change. The reason they all act exactly the same once elected isn't by choice but just a factor of reality.
Why did Obama not create universal healthcare? Ultimately because to do so would bankrupt almost every single 401k and union pension fund.
Why do the PC's act the same as the Libs once elected and vise versa? Because ultimately the face the same issues and for the same reasons and can only change minor aspects of how things are implemented.
In my riding I have 3 choices. I can vote NDP and possibly steal a seat from the LPC, I can vote LPC or I can make the choice not to vote. Any other choice is effectively the same as not voting. Voting CPC, PPC or Green is 100% identical in effect as not voting.
So this comes down to making a point by voting for a party which nobody will ever know you voted for purely for the belief that you will feel better for doing it.... to me this is silly you might as well have skipped the effort and gone for a beer at the local bar.
The big picture is even if elected the nature of the political reality expected of any governing party doesn't change so only minor shifts are possible. The Greens would be able to do as much to stop climate change as the LPC or the CPC. The CPC needs to face the same budgetary constraints as the LPC and are stuck with the same unions running the show in a practical nature. The big picture is that if you live in a riding that hasn't swung its vote in the last 70 years your vote for the other party is purely for your personal feelings and going for a beer makes just as much sense.
The PPC aren't a face of change. They are a party that can say anything they want because they will never have to live up to it. It is easy to be idealistic and to say whatever you want to get people riled up when you have no significant chance of winning more than a single riding.
66% of eligible people actually voted in Canada in the last election. Voter turnout is bordering on about %50 of the total population. Now I am a believer in not voting, if you are interested or if you have something better to do or if the elections in your riding is a forgone solution go to a bar and have a beer instead. To me not voting is equal to saying my neighbors can pick this time around.
your going to be stuffed in the same gulag by voting PPC your conscience won't get you a better cup of shit to drink. In my riding it makes more sense to put up a LPC sign and give a token donation to them and possibly show up at a rally and introduce myself. The LPC candidate will win my riding, they will be the member of parliament, and when I need their help on applying for a federal tax relief program for my business them recognizing me has value.
The PPC offers me nothing. They don't offer me a clean conscience because right now they are in the say anything to get support category where none of the policies they suggest need to ever be implemented.
If you own a business in and live in Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel for instance you might as well vote liberal regardless of your belief in the party. It is a safe liberal seat which has existed for 10 elections and has voted liberal 10 out of 10 times with a staggering majority. You are better off giving your maximum donation each year and voting for whoever the hell is the LPC. I would suggest setting a meeting to give the check directly to the MP in person. If they hold a pay for your plate dinner I suggest buying a plate and bringing the wife and dressing up and being as friendly as possible.
Ultimately pissing on the guy/girl gets you nothing. Greasing the wheel in this case will simply get you more direct benefit. I have applied for government grants for renovations in past and having an MP on side makes life about a million times easier and will more than pay for the donations in the long run. I've needed an MP to act on my behalf in regards to a dispute with Canada Customs regarding a provision related to safety gloves that were partially manufacture in Canada. The difference between the 2 designations would easily pay for a lifetime of donations to the crap party. I have also had an MP advise me on an accountant to use when applying for Research and Development tax credits which effectively let me increase salaries on my team by about 10%.
If I for instance lived in Battle River—Crowfoot I have no reason at all to ever give a penny to the Liberal Candidate. The chance of them winning and representing me is effectively 0. They can give me exactly nothing and I'm better off supporting the CPC candidate as they will win even if they stand on a stage with their dick out pretending they are a helicopter. When they are elected and not part of the party in power I can still get help from them on several things and at least 30% of the time they will even be part of the party in power.
If I live in a swing riding like for instance Kitchener—Conestoga there is value in me picking a favorite in each election based on which party I believe is going to win and taking my chances on picking right.
In none of these circumstances does it ever make sense for me to donate to the NDP, the Greens or the PPC. As the chance of them getting elected is low and their chance of being part of the party in power is exactly 0 my donation can't possibly purchase me any benefit.
My vote is inconsequential as nobody knows what it is in any case so I can't use it to my advantage but my donations are public and absolutely purchase me favour and benefits.
This is why the NDP and the Greens can't raise shit all nothing come election time. Idiots donate 20's businessmen donated the maximum and its good business to do so.
There is no circumstance I can see in Canada where voting PPC is in your benefit other than to pat yourself on the back regardless of what their platform is.
