I am willing to discuss with the other Candidates what they may bring to the region, I've also said that.
I am being pragmatic here though. Stability and a known commitment to working for finding funding and opportunities for our region, outweigh the rest. Till it doesn't.

Why do you need the personal touch? It's not realistic to expect a one-on-one visit from every political candidate...that's the opposite of pragmatic. Can't you just look at their platforms online and decide based on that? I don't get the need/desire for hand holding here. It sounds like you're happy to be swayed by a slick-talker or maybe you want to be courted? Eww, just vote for what's best for the province, please. That's the job. You're over-complicating it.
If you think the NDP has better leadership, why wouldn't you vote for them lol?
And stability? You can't have stability with a party led by somebody who doesn't follow truth, reason, accountability, logic and science. That's inherently unstable.
And glad to hear you're vocal with your UCP party rep about your distaste for Smith. Been doing a lot of good, I see, as you even say he just votes the party line, anyway.
I am glad you've been open about this, though, so that's appreciated. I think we're all getting insight into a very typical UCP voter here.
