Hello! I recently got my Canadian citizenship and I’m looking forward to vote in the upcoming election!

But few days ago I came to know that there was a deadline for ‘registering as a liberal/conservative’ for voters. I didn’t know such a thing existed. What difference would whether I registered for the above or not? I assume I can still still show up at the polling station to cast my vote…?

    Chaoticpoint, register for the party you aren’t going to vote for and try to get the opponent you’d prefer to be stuck with if your party loses the election. (Squint real fucking hard and you might even call it proportional representation!)

    Edit: I realize afterward that proportional representation isn’t what this would be. More like single transferable vote. Eh, whatever my care level is zero now. Stop arguing with me.

      That’s my plan. I’d prefer to vote ONDP but I voted in the OLP leadership, trying to get Nate elected. 😁
