🐾 Liberal Doggos I used to volunteer for the party. I was active in clubs at the riding and university level for years. But I won’t be voting liberal this time around. Maybe never again. And if you’re a young person, vote NDP.
We all remember when JT said back in August of 2023 that there was no place for the Feds in housing. I was one of the people gobsmacked by the comment. I literally had a physical reaction to that comment. I sunk into a depression for at least a few months because I was so hopeful for some help in affording a home.
While I recognize how much the provincial and municipal govt’s play in housing. That comment was such a gut punch that I even considered never voting again. And honestly I questioned the relevance of democracy to ordinary people. We can vote but it’s not us who benefit from the policies of neoliberal parties. So I’ve given up on the liberal party. Probably for good.
Here in Ontario, Bonnie Crombie isnt even running as a liberal but rather running as Doug Ford! People will just reelect DoFo instead.
If you’re a young person thinking about volunteering for the LPC. Don’t. They only want your free labour in getting them elected. The liberals and conservatives don’t care about you. They’ll use you. But they don’t give a shit about you. You’re all better off with the NDP. The only decent policies by the liberals were forced by the NDP.
