Liberals/Conservatives and the same left/right and Republicans/Democrats. It's the same false dichotomy, and people with their 'strategic' voting keep us stuck in the same paradigm every election.
Sorry if this sounds cynical, but it's how I see the situation.

Good points Morgan it rings true to me. It can't be denied that the libs and cons are opposing sides of the same corrupt coin.
The ndp and green party also never really tackle the real issues confronting us, thus are showing their true colours by their actions or lack thereof.
The problem with not doing anything is nothing gets done though. As has been mentioned a few times in this thread, the only party dealing with any of the real is Connie Fogal and the Canadian Action Party. I think this is where our energy will be best spent. I'm pretty ignorant on how to go about supporting a party aside from casting a vote, but maybe if we can get enough of those roadside signs up pointing to their website we can help raise awareness even more.
