And I wholly agree with that. You can justify voting for any party for any reason, as can I. You could throw a dart at a dartboard with the pictures of the candidates, and mark your ballot with whoever the dart hots. It's your vote to waste if you wish.
I just find it surprising so many Albertans on this board are prepared to potentially vote for their own hardship. I have a sneaky feeling none of CP's O and G sector workers, are the ones throwing stones at the CPC. And I also believe that many of the people that are voting against the CPC, wouldn't be doing so, if their livelihood was potentially at stake.
