I voted: NoRed Tories are not social conservatives. As the gap between the two factions continues to widen, it would be to Canada's benefit to adopt some form of Proportional Representative (PR) electoral system so that the many varied voices within our nation can be better represented. First Past the Post doesn't cut it anymore. Most western countries use some form of PR now.
I voted: Yes
I really hope Russia doesn't invade the Ukraine. But, since it looks like Putin can't help himself, I support Canada providing more military aid to the Ukraine.
I voted: Unsure
This is a tough one. On the one hand I'd like to see Canada tell China to stick it, but on the other, the Olympics are always a lot of fun to watch and even more fun to participate in I imagine. But, I worry about China using the Olympics as cover to attack Taiwan like Russia did when it attacked the Crimea during the Sochi Winter Olympics. Can we stand by and wait for our athletes to return home before responding? I don't think so.
I voted: YesOmicron has lead to a fifth wave in Canada. And, like before, its spreading uncontrollably.
