I'm very left, so I have historically always voted Green in provincial elections (I'm a big fan of David Coon, at least as far as I can be a "fan" of a politician).

However, I'm considering voting Liberal for the first time in my life since my riding is tightly contested between the Lib candidate and the incumbent Conservative. I absolutely despise both strategic voting and the provincial Liberal Party, but not nearly as much as I loathe Higgs and his crew.

I'm non-binary, have many queer & trans friends, including some who do drag. I'm also francophone. NB under a Conservative government is dangerous for my loved ones and I. Especially since we're basically guaranteed a Conservative victory I'm the next federal elections, I have night terrors at the idea of Premier Higgs and PM Poilievre.

Dude, BC Election. Do you even have a Liberal candidate? The BC Libs collapsed. It's probably Cons vs. NDP vs. maybe Greens + Fringe.

I was talking about the NB election in reply to the other commenter's mention of the upcoming elections here. Sorry, I could have made that clearer since the thread is about a separate upcoming election.

The bc libs were unrelated to federal libs, and were in fact a conservative party. They "collapsed" when they all switched parties to avoid splitting the right wing vote.

Op is talking about the NB election.
