I'm not the specialist for Canadian politics, but i think i never vote Conservative. In the early years i vote for the Liberals and in the modern times i vote for the NDP. When i live in Quebec it is possible that i vote sometimes for the BQ.

Er, becuase they are major party.

The same reason I'd vote for Democrats in every election instead of Greens

The NDP is far more relevant (and useful) than the US Greens could ever dream of being. There's no comparison.

If you had asked me this question in 2003, I'd have said NDP for every election
If you asked in 2005, I'd have said Liberal, straight through
2007 and I'd pick all Tories

But lets see what mindset I was at, at the time.

The 2000 election was the first that I was old enough to know what was going on. I'd have voted liberal.

In 2004 I voted Liberal
In 2006 I voted Conservative
In 2008 I voted Green
In 2009 I plan to either vote for the Liberals or the Greens

What about in the past?

In 1867 I'd have voted anti-confederate
In 1921 I'd have voted Progressive
In 1979 I'd have voted PC
And again in 1980


Beyond that its really hard to say.

Update

I'll be voting Green.
In 1867 I'd have voted Conservative
And I'd have voted PC in 1979, 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1993, and Liberal or PC in 1997 and 2000.

You'd have supported RB Bennett's Hoover-esque Nazi-loving Tories?

Roch LaSalle was the MP for my family's birthplace. He was a good constituency MP (he delivered passports door-to-door to those who had asked for one), had a massive personal vote.

The Tories were not "pro-Quebec" (as ridiculous of a phrase that is) but rather supported the far-right clerical elite which controlled Quebec as a theocratic dictatorship until 1960. Until the Tories became the party of WASPs nationwide.

Supporting conscription is not 'anti-French', ftr.

And the corruption and stupid constitutional debates; and cut it out with the "pro-Quebec" crap.


Point #1: Looking at it at the time I would have yes. The Liberals had failed to keep the nation out of depression, so it was quite likely that I would have supported the Conservatives simply because of my own economic concerns.
Point #3: I will always support the reactionaries over the anti-clerical party. As a devout Catholic any attack on my faith is an attack on me personally.
Point #4: By that point the Liberals had shut up about being anti-clerical under Laurier, who I would support initially in large part because he was a Francophone. And yes, forcing men to fight for a war that was wrong and seen by most in Quebec at the time as a British war may not be anti-French, but it's still wrong.
Point #5: I'll give you that one actually lol
Point #6: Not a huge fan of Mulroney today, but at the time I believe he was the best option for Quebec federalism or separatism.

And yes, I do base my votes in large part on Quebec's federalism/nationalism/independence even. I don't think of Canada as one nation so much as Quebec and everyone else. Therefore I would support the party that best supported the "nation" of Quebec.

Did any party/leader in the world (excluding isolated places) keep their country out of the 1929 depression? There sure isn't much of those in the Americas.

Mulroney was a scumbag opportunist. He didn't care about Quebec nationalism, he allied to them purely for political gain.

I agree that most leaders failed to keep their nations out of the depression. And that is exactly why I would vote for someone else. As far as theocracy goes, I would indeed support one over an anti-clerical state, such as the liberals at the time supported and the French Republic was. I would not consider the United States Anti-Clerical. And yeah, Mulroney was a jerk, but the fact that he supported Quebec nationalism even for political gain is a positive.
