Who to vote for in Canadian federal election in 2019? It's that time again to start thinking about who to vote for so you can make an informed decision at the voting booth. There are three main political parties Liberal, Conservative and NDP and a whole bunch of fringe parties. What are the changes you want to see and which political party can accomplish that? What do you think?

Conservative is the only sane choice for those who want a less intrusive gubmint.

Anything but Conservative.
Think about it.
Walter votes for those guys.
Serious answer: They're all okay this time around.

Too early to decide. I think it likely safe to say I would be unlikely to support True-dope.

Independent who runs on the platform that Canada does not need both a Federal Government and a Provincial one. In addition to pushing referendum voting only as well as all the Ministers are voted in by that process and they run those departments and the men the PM chooses are the way he co-ordinates with them.
Looks like I won't be voting again as all parties tow the line they are told to, might as well vote a bank in rather than a person.

I've always said that I would be willing to vote for Trudeau if he did a good job in his first term. So far, he hasn't won me over.

More food for thought if one is thinking voting Liberal
Dominic LeBlanc broke conflict of interest rules by approving lucrative surf clam license to wife’s cousin
Dominic LeBlanc broke conflict of interest rules by approving lucrative surf clam license to wife’s cousin
Quote:
Former fisheries minister Dominic LeBlanc broke conflict of interest rules earlier this year by awarding a lucrative license to fish for Arctic surf clams to a company that was set to be run by his wife's cousin.
In a ruling issued Wednesday morning, Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion said the plan to award the contract violated the section of the Conflict of Interest Act that bars public office holders from making decisions that would place them in a conflict as well as the section requiring officials to recuse themselves from such matters.
"A first cousin of Mr. LeBlanc's spouse, Mr. Gilles Thériault, could have benefitted financially from an Arctic surf clam licence being awarded to the Five Nations Clam Company," Dion said. "Mr. Thériault would have served as the company's general manager if the process to grant it the licence had been completed."
Dion said that the decision by LeBlanc to pursue issuing the license -- which was announced in February 2018 -- "provided an opportunity to further Mr. Thériault's private interests."

Conservative vs Liberal
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him..
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A liberal will delete it because he or she is "offended."

Right now, as with the provincial election here in NB, no one seems really worth voting for. Hoping it changes soon but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Same. I didn’t vote for him in 2015 but was open to potentially doing so in 2019 depending on what he did. After less than a year I knew I wouldn’t be voting for him in 2019. My current MP is Catherine McKenna. I was really surprised when she won’t and sadly I think she has a good chance of winning again next year. Won’t be with my vote though.

What a BS false dichotomy. There are far more than two positions on every issue.

I watch the current barrage of "Ain't I a great guy?" TV commercials being mounted by Mr. Scheer and I think "Could this guy come across as any less sincere?"
I'd like to hear/see what a government is actually going to do/is doing for my country. You can keep your partisan rhetoric, it's just a deflection.

I'll vote for anyone who firmly believes that the govt is supposed to work for us, not the other way around. So far, I'm not seeing that trait in any of the candidates.

While protectionism may raise wages for the protected classes, it pushes prices up and so raises their wages to everyone else's harm. we don't build Canada by pitting businesses against consumers, we do so by educating the poor so as to raise productivity and by seeking efficiencies including international economies of scale.
The problem I see is that all the major parties are too focused on raising nominal wages while ignoring that that accomplishes nothing and that what we really need to do is to improve efficiencies so as to reduce the real cost of living.
