Those with a small ‘l’ liberal bent—who look toward either the Green Party or the national NDP as part of the broad coalition with the Liberal Party to stop the anti-democratic, anti-data (or anti-scientific) thought that comes with much of what the Conservative Party puts forward—are crucial voters in this riding, and in this election.
If the values of the Greens and the NDP speak to you, then for this election, and in this riding in particular, note that a vote for either of these parties is a vote for values consistent with the Liberal candidate, but could strategically be a vote for the opposing values of Pierre Poilievre.
A read of Mark Carney’s 2021 book Values will help to convince you that—at this time—we need the directions he can help with, to move us forward both nationally and economically. For any voter, a read of this book will show that Carney is far better equipped to help make homes more affordable, health-care more available etc., than any other candidate.
