(I posted this to Canadapolitics as well, but I wasn't sure if I'd get responses so trying here as well!)

Despite the research I've done and the debates I've watched, the fact remains I agree with some of each candidates platform and disagree with other parts. I'm really struggling with how to vote both provincial (Ontario) and federal.

I thought it'd be fun to get other people's opinion on the issues that matter most to you, why you think your candidate is trustworthy, and see if any of it helps solidify my vote! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I'm going to make a second comment here just because I wanted to separate the ideas.

All current political parties have zero actual path to affordable housing. If you think about it, affordable housing would mean a drop in prices by greater than 50%, maybe even greater than 75% in some regions. No political party has suggested policies that would even come close to this kind of reduction.

Ask each candidate by what percentage they expect their platform to drop housing prices over the next 8 years (giving them the benefit of voting them in twice)

Given that this is the single largest budget item for anyone under 40 years old, the lack of action means entire generations are screwed.

The roll over and join the USA party would help to depopulate Canada if full US citizenship allowed workers to follow the jobs headed south. Sovereignty has its price.
