Because it doesn\u2019t matter what my opinion is if I do vote for someone, chances are, with the first-past-the-post, it\u2019s not going to be represented, because I\u2019m essentially a minority idea, and what I want to vote for probably won\u2019t even be represented. So, if I\u2019m going to be looking for someone in this election, I want someone who\u2019s going to be changing the electoral process that\u2019ll benefit everyone in more of a democratic way.

I think many of the issues I consider as priorities are very diverse across the political spectrum, which can make voting difficult sometimes! But so far, I like the direction Canada is moving in, so I definitely think that voting to continue that moment is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Will you vote in the upcoming federal election \u2013 why or why not?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFunny enough, I actually have already voted; I cast a special ballot last week at my riding’s Elections Canada Returning Office. I did some thorough research into the candidates in my riding, and also looked at the polling. In my riding of Kanata–Carleton, it’s polling as a tight race between the Liberal incumbent and the Conservative candidate. The Liberal incumbent has been an incredible Member of Parliament for our area and championed issues like accessible internet services (in some of the more rural areas, like where I live, this is a huge issue to many residents), as well as getting Light Rail Transit to the urban areas of Kanata ahead of schedule. The Conservative candidate (or really, the Conservative party as a whole) has really disappointed me this election.
