      So first of all, I like the NDP and the Greens much better than the Liberals and the CPC.

      However.

      I think it is a lot to ask people to throw their vote away on the NDP or Greens, when they live in a riding where they have no chance of winning. I live in such a riding myself. I think the more realistic solution is to put pressure on the Liberals and CPC in other ways. But I can’t figure out what is the most effective way of changing their minds, about this or anything else for that matter. Big Business just kinda throws money at them. That seems to work fairly well for Big Business. If regular Canadians could put together that kind of financial power, that actually might be the best way.
