How dare you people want jobs
I don't see how voting for Liberal or NDP will help anything. If the idea is to tell the Conservative Party "you're not good enough" and the means of doing that is saying "we prefer the Liberals more" all it will do is make the conservatives try to be even more like the Liberals.
"Shit, guys, we're not woke enough. Look who they voted for. Time to ramp it up."
If you are trying to tell the conservatives to be actually conservative, and not Liberal Lite, voting PPC is the way to go, but that's not the only issue on the table (and, unfortunately, is an option that is not available to all ridings).
I think it's imperative to not allow any of the hard left parties to get into power as much as possible, and although the Conservatives are still similar to Lib/NDP/Green, they are the "least bad" version of them and the most likely party to get into power since they have the history and voter base to achieve it.
If you want to vote for PPC and can't, voting Conservative is the next best option. Any of the other three will just deteriorate the country even more. I wouldn't be surprised if they just merged into the "Green Liberal Democrats" since they are all running on nearly identical platforms.
You shouldn't vote Liberal or NDP you shouldn't vote at all if you aren't voting PPC. But, if you absolutely must vote you should vote Liberal or NDP because it would be far more damaging to vote for the Conservatives
At the same time being beneficial to the Liberals or NDP, though.
Yes, which is why you shouldn't vote for them
How would it be more damaging to vote Conservative if the others are worse?
Because the Conservatives aren't conservative
The same logic can be applied to the other parties.
The Liberal Party and the NDP are never going to be conservative parties
the conservative party is supposed to be a conservative party
Yes, but why would the Liberals or NDP change if they win?
they wont?
If they lose, they have more incentive to change.
Yes, but, there is no way that change will result in them becoming conservative
They don't need to become conservative, they can become as they were before they became leftist extremists.
They have been anti-free speech parties for decades, their problems aren't recent developments
The charter of rights and freedoms was specifically made the allow the government to clamp down on free speech
The NDP are literally against the right to protest for things they don't like and they have been since at least 1995.
But, that's not what they were for originally. Neither were the Liberals.
If they can change one way, they can change back.
Them winning elections will not help that.
Losing to the left-wing 'conservatives' isn't going to make them more sane
Not in the short term.
I can't imagine them becoming sane parties in any realistic amount of time.
So, why would you ever want them back in power?
Even if the Conservatives aren't very conservative, the party itself represents Conservatism, due to its history, for those who aren't as aware of the political climate, so those who are looking for a conservative party will vote Conservative as they are the most familiar and most likely to win.
If the party then shows it is not as conservative as they are supposed to be, that opens the way for PPC to fill in the gap.
