It would be as if I thought it was unusual for people to identify as a Liberal, NDP or progressive voter.

Maybe you should reconsider that position because it’s just as ridiculous.

He prefers to vote on policy but you don't vote on policy in Canada, you may vote for a platform but regardless, your still a voter/supporter of a specific party or political direction.

Actually we do vote on policy. There’s nothing stopping a party from having similar policies as another, nor is there anything that prevents a party from changing their political direction. Blindly voting for a party regardless of their policies is the quickest way to ensure that that party won’t adapt and represent you to the best of their abilities because they don’t ever have to worry about losing your vote.
