A lot of crazy things have been happening in Canada politics wise lately. Earlier in the year Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned due to his own party not liking him anymore, and various other personal things that are involved when you are getting older.
The Liberal party then went though a process that I don’t fully understand in order to elect their new leader, Mark Carney. He then decided to ask the Governor General of Canada, Mary Simon, to dissolve parliament in order to get ahead of a non confidence vote that would have triggered an election anyway.
This snap election was called on Mr. Carney’s own terms in order to maintain control of whatever it is that is so enticing to politicians of all persuasions.
Now, Canadians are headed to the polls at the end of this month instead of later in the year in October when the current government’s term would have ended.
Since circumstances are this way, I have to figure out who I will vote for.
I am NOT telling you who you should vote for. Nobody should ever do that. Voting is your decision alone. I’m not even going to tell you who I’m going to vote for.
What I plan to do over this brief series is to research each party and their platforms so I can make an informed decision. For easy organization, each party gets their own blog post in this series. You, the reader, are welcome to come along for the ride. There’s not a lot of time between now and the actual election. This is going to be a quick adventure.
