What message does it send not to vote? During our election in October, most Canadians voted Liberal even if they didn't love Trudeau, in a strategy to oust Harper and the Conservatives from winning again. Wouldn't it make more sense to vote strategically, in an attempt to oust Trump from winning, than not to vote at all? I've never understood why people would choose not to vote. When you don't vote, you lose all credibility when you complain about the government and how things are run; but if you can enlighten me on why choosing not to vote is a better option, I am open to listening.
