Not many people are totally left or right.
Many of us have no problem with certain aspects of both parties and their policies.
this forum isn't the best representative of that, but I like the idea :-)
I really wish we had a different voting system so you didn't feel you needed to vote for one of the big 2 to have your vote count...
Yeah we would have some smaller parties getting some more seats, but there would be other parties that would be between the two holding them accountable and better representing many Canadians. The current libs should have kept that promise for electoral reform.

If I could vote purely on policies, it would not be any of the major parties. Maybe Libertarian party.
Liberals under Chretien would definitely get a good look from me, but under Trudeau's management, there's no way, and that's even assuming SNC policy is not really policy.
My views on Trudeau's policies are in line with this refugee...

I would agree with all of this.
Maybe that's why some of the PPC appeals to me, they do borrow some Libertarian type views

Not sure where you get your facts from, but it's pretty clear 69% is not 94%.
Add to that fact that 22% are "in progress" of that 69 and that the vast majority of that other 47% kept are completely useless, irrelevant or easy... and I'm not impressed. Not even half of his promises kept.
How is he doing on the BIG promises that meant the most to people?
A botched legalized weed platform.
Scrapping electoral reform.
"Modest deficits" my rear end.
The pipeline fiasco
All his promises to First Nations
Veterans supports
And more.
You're pulling a Trudeau move and grossly exaggerating (ahem * flat out lying) with that 94% claim

How would Canada vote ??
The idea of our politicians being more efficient in implementing their platforms is more than a little terrifying. Poor execution may be all that stands between us and bureaucratic and regulatory perdition.
With that in mind, one would hope that Canada would vote for the kind government that promised to govern least.
