i voted for trudeau's liberal party in 2015 because the local representative in windsor, who lost, campaigned on pushing the liberals to re-open nafta and because i strongly supported the green infrastructure bank, which was supposed to use the bank of canada to print debt-free money to finance the public infrastructure required for carbon transition, but that the liberals eventually converted into this horrible public-private thing to build pipeline infrastructure, like it was run by joe fucking clark. i regretted that vote, and wished i had voted for the greens.

i was a supporter of stephane dion and a very loud critic of michael ignatieff.

i did not vote for trudeau to legalize pot, and really didn't have a lot of support for the idea. at the time, i was indifferent to it; i figured it didn't matter. there's some convenience in being able to buy the odd quarter once or twice a year at the store, right? it's not like my life revolved around it. i didn't really actually care. in hindsight, the ndp and thomas mulcair probably had a better marijuana policy than trudeau did, but i would not be somebody that would be likely to determine my vote on marijuana policy. mulcair was running on new labour thatcherism and was a non-starter for that reason. as it is, i have purchased essentially no legal marijuana, after trying it and realizing it was engineered to create dependency. for me, the result of legalizing pot in canada is that i've started to strenuously avoid it.

i want my low key, underground, quiet neighbourhood hippie grow-ops back.

i have not voted for the liberals since, but have voted for the greens a couple of times.

there is no possibility that i would vote for or support mark carney in any way at all.
