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.

But you do vote on that, unless you're completely uneducated about what anyone on the ballot stands for. You're voting the person that you think will carry out what you feel most aligns with your needs or philosophies based on their platform, previous history, or the policies they've indicated they want to push through. Why would you vote any differently than that?
I don't know if you're trying to argue semantics here or what.
