So having watched the provincial leadership debate yesterday, completing the cbc voting compass, and checking out some of the party platforms, I’m fairly confident that I can make an informed decision on election day. Essentially, I’m looking for the party that is thinking about tomorrow and has a believable plan that can realistically be implemented.
So my recap: both Orange and Blue are committed to undoing everything that Red has been working towards and don’t have any big ideas or even ideas that could have any meaningful impact. Green supports an idealogy that I am in favour of; however, their lacking popularity and insufficient platform depth make them a wasted vote. So although I acknowledge that the Red leader has shamed himself numerous times in the public spotlight, the Red platform is the most believable, and more importantly, the most forward thinking.
