I would probably be a Liberal and therefore would have voted Liberal in most elections.

I may have considered voting for Joe Clark's Tories in the 1970s as I would probably have disliked Trudeau - I get the impression he spent most of his time dealing with 'chattering class' issues like constitutional reform rather than bread-and-butter issues that affect peoples' everyday lives.

I may also have ended up voting for Mulroney's Tories in 1988 as I believe that election was all about NAFTA and free trade. Free trade is a fact of life and opposition to it is a bit like believing that the earth is flat.

How I vote would depend on where in Canada I was. If I was in one of the Western provinces, where the Liberals were almost nonexistent in the late 70s and the early 80s, I may have voted tactically for Ed Broadbent's NDP.

Almost certainly Liberal from the 1950s-1980.

1984 and 1988 - No idea.
1993 - Liberals.
1997 - Perhaps the Liberals again, or maybe the NDP
2000 - Greens
2004 - Greens
2006 - Greens

Absolutely not sure. Theoretically a Tory/Liberal Swing voter, with a possible green in there...dunno though.

One thing is for sure. NOT NDP...ahaha Earl

CCF/NDP until 1993. In 1993 probably Liberal (but I wouldn't have voted against an NDP incumbent), from 1997 onwards usually NDP... but it would depend on the candidates (ie; had a been a voter in Beaches-East York I would not have voted for the lunatic the NDP ran. And so on).

He was in the Waffle (the NDP's answer to the Militant Tendency. But with an additional ultra-nationalist element) back in the '70's.

Quebec has an inferiority complex and thus cannot heel towards its betters.
