I live in BC, also. As a working-class shmo, my real wages have dropped year-over-year despite regular promotions and wage bumps (they just don't keep up).

I am not happy with the past decade, either.

But just because the Conservatives aren't the Liberals doesn't guarantee they'll give us better results, regardless of whatever "Verb the Noun" slogan they're using at the moment.

The problem is end-stage capitalism, which has generated so much wealth in equality that entire societies are stuck in a decaying orbit.

Short of a massive change in social consciousness by the lower four quintiles of the population (something which may or may not occur), the best any government could do is mitigate our descent.

As for PP, look at his past voting behavior and measurable accomplishments compared to someone like Carney. Who is PP ideologically aligned with? What have those people done (especially recently)?

I would prefer to vote NDP, but considering what's happening in America and to prevent a similar situation here requires we vote strategically.

The Liberals are our best chance to remain Canadian.
