I think that most people who think that way in Alberta vote for the Greens.
I voted in my riding and was in the minority that didn't vote for the CPC, therefore rendering my ballot useless and without a voice in parliament...alas I digress. My real issue is that people who think that they have "no one deserving" or "no one to vote for who believes what I do" should get involved.
Its not that hard to either (A) Run as a candidate or (B) help someone else run as a candidate. (OK its hard to actually be the candidate, but pretty easy to secure a nomination in most cases!). To me a lot of those types of responses are cop-outs plain and simple.
I do wish that Elections Canada would extend the voting period though. It would be great to have the polls open for a few days to give people more of an opportunity to vote. I recognize that there are some complications (scheduling in the gyms, staffing, etc.) but this is a very important exercise and really the foundation of our society.
