Companies are allowed to run such corrupt and negligent business under the cons. Evading taxes with the greatest ease. Shitting on our environment with little to no consequence. Corporations being allowed to sue our country if we don't give them what they want because we signed ourselves away for peanuts as a desperate ploy to pretend we could avoid the global economic downturn. While I can appreciate the "look out for yourself" attitude you have, the cons damage so much you can't even do that. They allow so many negatives to be out of your control that it isn't going to matter how hard your work when your country has been raped of everything it had to offer and all the money you get paid in is worth less than monopoly money.

THIS. RIGHT. FUCKING. HERE.
My vote is going to go to who I think will do the most good. Although I disagree with some platform issues that a party has, if I believe they are going to the benefit the majority and Canada as a whole, my vote is going to them. I've been voting this way for municipal elections all the way to federal.
I'm willing to concede on some issues that I disagree with so long as the majority benefits.
