Should i vote liberal or conservative

Trudeau, 49, called an early election, seeking to convert approval for his government's handling of the pandemic into a parliamentary majority. But he is now scrambling to save his job, with Canadians questioning the need for an early election amid a fourth pandemic wave. Trudeau has spent two of the final three days of his campaign in Ontario where polls show the NDP could gain seats, or split the progressive vote. A tight race could result in another minority government, with the NDP, led by Jagmeet Singh, playing kingmaker.

It has also put a focus on turnout, with low turnout historically favouring the Conservatives. An Ekos poll released on Saturday also showed the main parties neck and neck though the Liberals had an edge at At these levels, neither party appears likely to reach the seats needed for a majority in the seat House of Commons. The PPC also removed the president of its Elgin—Middlesex—London riding association last week after he was accused of throwing gravel at Trudeau during an event in London, Ont.

Police in the southwestern Ontario city announced on Saturday they had charged Shane Marshall in the incident. The suspect shares the name of the former PPC riding association president, but the party did not immediately respond to request for comment on whether the man now facing charges is the same person.

Ballingall said in an interview that many people opposed to Trudeau and the Liberals feel alienated from Canada's current political process, and may want to vote for the PPC as a protest against the establishment. It's not a perfect scenario. It's a binary choice. Yet it isn't only disenfranchised Canadians who are supporting the PPC, as Bernier has managed to tap into anger over mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports, a population that political strategist Shakir Chambers says includes non-Conservatives.

No other party's saying that you can even converse about whether this should be mandatory or not. O'Toole has tried to walk a fine line when it comes to vaccines, saying on the one hand that Canadians should get immunized to curb the spread of COVID and protect vulnerable citizens while on the other defending the freedom to choose not to do so.

That mixed message has put some of his Conservative candidates in a bind when it comes to explaining where the party stands on the issue, including in the Western heartland of Saskatchewan and Alberta where the party remains dominant. Honestly, I don't agree with the party on everything.

But our party is against mandatory vaccination, and is the only viable alternative to Justin Trudeau. The vaccine issue is only one in which O'Toole stoked anger among some on the right as he has tried to steer the Conservatives more to the centre. In fact, the platform doesn't even mention students once! In the same vein, O'Toole makes no mention of cost or tuition, so don't expect any price breaks at school after voting Conservative this time around.

At least they don't talk about making school any more expensive, either! What the Conservative platform does mention is free expression on campus — ardent supporters of free speech, the Conversatives will help promote a more open exchange of ideas in colleges and universities. While college and university may not be big areas of focus for O'Toole's Conservatives, skills training certainly is. This could help new grads and career-changers make their first moves into the workplace.

The biggest focus of the Conservatives in the federal election is jobs, jobs, jobs. O'Toole is committed to restoring the million jobs lost during the pandemic in just a single year. The Conservatives are also subsidizing new employees based on their previous unemployment — so if you've been out of work for a while, this plan may help you down the line.

These subsidies will also target skills gaps in the trades sector, by encouraging people to pursue apprenticeships and take positions in the trades, strengthening Canada's economy overall. Affordable housing is another prominent plank of O'Toole's platform. His goal is to build a million new homes over the course of three years, while paring down the federal government's real estate holdings to permit more housing development.

The Conservatives are pro-pipeline, and will work hard to ensure the Trans Mountain pipeline is expanded and the Keystone XL pipeline is built. O'Toole won't mandate COVID vaccines for anyone, but will fund rapid testing where necessary, and will invest more in mental health care and Canada's emergency stockpile.

So, if you're thinking about buying your first home, you're considering retraining or upskilling into the skilled trades, or you're looking for a job after a long, rough pandemic, Erin O'Toole's Conservative Party may be for you. Their platform focuses on making Canada the best it can be by addressing social, indigenous, racial, and financial issues.

The NDP wants to make tuition free, eventually. But until that happens, they want to work with individual provinces to cap and reduce tuition fees. That's pretty generous! On top of that, they want to permanently eliminate interest on all federal student loans and ultimately work towards making education more accessible by moving away from loans and doubling non-repayable Canada Student Grants. This is a huge financial break for you as a student!

As for loan repayments, they want to introduce a five-year grace period for new graduates. This is a big increase from the current six months! If you're working part-time while in school this could help you with your school payments. They also want to create more than one million jobs! This should help alleviate your stress about finding a job after graduation. Another great goal they have is to prioritize gender-based pay equity which will require employers to be transparent about pay!

The NDP wants to make public transit fare-free to encourage Canadians to help eliminate emissions by vehicles. They also want to create an Office of Environmental Justice so that disproportionate impacts of pollution and loss of biodiversity on low-income, racialized, and other marginalized communities can be addressed.

As for the Covid vaccine, the NDP wants to introduce a vaccine passport to show proof of vaccination. One interesting issue that NDP wants to address is cell phones and internet prices.

They want to put a price cap on cell phone and internet bills while expanding cell coverage and delivering high-speed internet to every Canadian community. The NDP wants to ensure mental healthcare is available for Canadians without work or school benefits at no cost. The Green Party of Canada , led by Annamie Paul, is one of Canada's smallest national parties, and Paul is the newest party leader at the federal level. The Greens are generally known for their commitment to helping the environment, reversing climate change, and implementing democratic reforms.

But you're a student, doing your best to survive another September!
