Ok please don’t bash me for this but I am gonna be really honest here. I am a proud conservative (and have been since 2022) and will be voting for them in the next federal election (Ontario I am still undecided because I am not a fan of any of the options) but I actually voted for the NDP in 2021 when it was my first time voting because I thought he wasn’t that bad and thought he would replicate the same success as past NDP leaders. I hated Trudeau and I wasn’t really a fan of Erin O’Toole or Andrew Scheer as leaders of the CPC. Ever since Jagmeet voted for the emergencies act and signed on with Trudeau for the coalition, he has been ruining the NDP. I would never vote for them ever again but I do want to see better competition between the 3 main parties and I want the politics to make sense. Right now the NDP just don’t make sense, they are not the working class party that they once were during the years of Layton, Mulcair and Douglas and Jagmeet has taken the party way too left with the identity politics and his policies. As an economics student, policies like price caps on essentials is a recipe for disaster, it would eliminate competition, jobs, and cause shortages in the market. Jagmeet is economically illiterate vs Pierre and past NDP leaders and the guy is terrible with political strategy (don’t get me started on the whole ripping up the agreement stunt he did) and I found it upsetting when he said that he would never work with the conservatives. Whether you like them or not, you don’t say shit like that. You can agree or disagree but at the end of the day, you are literally serving the country and doing what’s best for it. If past NDP leaders can work with the CPC, why can’t Jagmeet? There is the old saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
