I am a teacher who voted for the NDP for the first time in the last provincial election. I consider myself a fiscally conservative and socially progressive individual and I supported the PCs in the past. I think there should be some cuts to public services right now, and I would be willing to accept a pay cut in our next contract under the right conditions.

I will never vote for the WRP or any party led by Jason Kenney. I have become more and more disgusted with the rural based, right wing anger machine on both sides of the 49th these past couple of years.

I do not agree with everything that the NDP are doing, but I don't see any of the other options that were presented to us would have been any better and probably would have been worse. Unless a better choice, such as a PC party led by someone progressive like Sandra Jansen, presents itself in 2019, I may vote NDP again.

Fire away haters.
