The first election I was eligible to vote in was 1968 and like most I voted for Trudeau in the original Trudeaumania. I have voted PC, Reform, Alliance and Conservative in every election since until this one. There are a couple of reasons. My former MP and Harper cabinet minister decided not to run and the party picked an unknown who didn't attend any candidate meetings or give any interviews but still won by a landslide because the Conservatives could run a chimp in my riding and still win easily. Sorry but I just couldn't vote for that guy. Another is that while PP is no Trump by any stretch of the imagination, many Canadians see a lot of similarities in his everything broken, everything bad, sloganeering, name calling campaign style and they don't like it, self included. It is clear now that the Conservative's lead in the polls was due more to Trudeau's unpopularity than thing else and as hard as it is for Canadian Trumpers to swallow, Donald Trump lost Pierre Poilievre the last election. For me the choice was a gamble and for better or worse I gambled on Carney. Will I regret that in two years? Maybe but I sure hope not because I will always put my country ahead of any political party and if PP had won I would be saying the same thing. So in instead of whinging and hurling insults maybe you should be asking yourself why many lifelong Conservative voters like me switched the last election. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just look in a mirror. How will I vote in the next election? Right now I really have no idea.
