    My opinion is in politics you can't just always side with a party … but rather focus on issues.
    As a younger voter … I'm kind of conflicted…

    Like what is most important issues this provincial election... what's at stake.
    Cause obviously certain things I'll like on both sides but what matters is if I elect someone and they are pro one thing but very very anti another.

    the voting system is fucked, first past the post pretty much encourages a two part system to emerge.

    i'd say stick to your abc's : anything but conservative.

    Regardless of where in the world you live politicians are the same, the only winning move is not to play

    I agree with GoH pretty much every politician is in it for himself no matter where you go

    But unless you live on your own sovereign island, you are playing every day.

    Go vote. I like the anything but conservative approach, unless you're totally loaded.

    It should be noted that Canadian politics are not anywhere as messed up as American Politics.

    Me personaly I can't vote (only a Pern Resident in canada). If I could vote It would probably be NDP. Yet I must admit i'm not firm on my choice either. I more prefer the liberal party as a whole but I am not sure on the current stances of the parties on a provincial level, Plus I feel kind of so so with dalton mcguinty.

    Meh

    All three have had their time in the sun in Ontario and I wasn't impressed by any of them. NDP under Rae, PC under Harris, Liberals under Peterson

    I tend to vote Green

    Have you seen McGunity's new ads? He makes a good point, services have improved (overall) and you have to pay for them somehow... I'd reluctantly vote for him to prevent a conservative government. Its a shame though, I voted for the NDP in the federals (Toronto - St Paul's) and I know lots of people who voted liberal to keep the PC's out. Its this kind of strategic voting that hurts the NDP.

    Nitrosoxide: vote for any party that is more relaxed about cannabis than the opposite. I just voted for the socialistic peoples party at the election, but they are not keen on legalising cannabis, hell no parties are like that so I chose SF (Danish abbreviation) as the party I voted for.
