Please show up and vote Higgs the fuck out. We deserve better than a transphobic asshole who wants to sell our healthcare to the highest bidder.
And please remember that in any Canadian election, you can register on the day at the booth if you have to. It takes five minutes as long as you bring a couple of pieces of ID (the list of what counts as acceptable ID is unbelievably long; I guarantee you’ll be OK. You can even just get someone else to vouch for you are).
Don’t get caught up in the horror stories from the US. Voting in Canada is incredibly fast and easy, even if you’re not registered. You’ll almost always be in and out in less than 20 minutes. Polls open early and stay open late, there are early voting days ahead of the actual election, and on election day your work are required to give you time off to vote if you need it. Know your rights and have your vote counted.
I’m very left, so I have historically always voted Green in provincial elections (I’m a big fan of David Coon, at least as far as I can be a “fan” of a politician).
However, I’m considering voting Liberal for the first time in my life since my riding is tightly contested between the Lib candidate and the incumbent Conservative. I absolutely despise both strategic voting and the provincial Liberal Party, but not nearly as much as I loathe Higgs and his crew.
I’m non-binary, have many queer & trans friends, including some who do drag. I’m also francophone. NB under a Conservative government is dangerous for my loved ones and I. Especially since we’re basically guaranteed a Conservative victory I’m the next federal elections, I have night terrors at the idea of Premier Higgs and PM Poilievre.
The bc libs were unrelated to federal libs, and were in fact a conservative party. They “collapsed” when they all switched parties to avoid splitting the right wing vote.
I was talking about the NB election in reply to the other commenter’s mention of the upcoming elections here. Sorry, I could have made that clearer since the thread is about a separate upcoming election.

Dude, BC Election. Do you even have a Liberal candidate? The BC Libs collapsed. It’s probably Cons vs. NDP vs. maybe Greens + Fringe.

Op is talking about the NB election.
