Trudeau (using your definitions) is the lesser of two evils. Scheer is the greater evil.

I find that sad because I think a lot of people like the liberals but cant vote for Trudeau...

whats with conservatives accusing of everyone else being racist? You’re sounding disturbingly bizarre, dude.

Because liberals accuse everyone else of being racist all the time just to keep power.

I was confident a month ago that the Greens had a higher ceiling than the NDP. Since then, the Greens have become an absolute non-factor outside of Vancouver Island.
Why couldn't the Greens gain more support?

People seem to be voting for the nostalgia of the Chretien Liberals - who were reasonably centrist.
This group is way left - left of the NDP in the 2015 election. The Liberals remaining support in this election is likely from people who haven't followed politics for decades. Look at the Chretien era Liberals - Kinsella, McTeegue and Dosanjh . They know the danger of Trudeau cozying up to the Muslim and Sikh extremists, plus his reckless spending.

Evidence seems quite clear that Trudeau treats women and minorities as tokens to use for his advantage - but doesn't really treat them as equals when it comes to their opinions.

As if we've forgotten the Blackface/Brownface scandal or the allegation of an affair with a 17 year old already. Keep dreaming!
Hard to bogeyman Scheer when Trudeau has done far worse. The five women, some POC for instance, he forced out from caucas.
Coasting on daddy's last name can only harbor so much good will!

That is the Liberal Party I fell in love with years ago, for me the Chretien Liberals represented what Canada should be about. When the Canadian Alliance came about things went to hell in a handbasket and you got leaders like Trudeau, Dion and Ignatieff. Now everyone cares about fighting with each other in the house, austerity and making a name for themselves in order to win votes. I would rather tear up my ballot than vote for Trudeau.
If the Chretien Liberals still existed I would be voting Liberal but the only party I feel that can truly make me proud to be Canadian again is the NDP.

I was originally going to vote for the Greens because I was not entirely fond of Jagmeet but now that I saw the policies of the NDP they won me back. I may hate the leader but I like the party more.
That said, the Greens seemed like a viable alternative to the liberals originally. They did not like Jagmeet but they hated the liberals. Now that the NDP released their policy, Jagmeet seems like he knows what he is talking about and Trudeau is faltering, the NDP are looking so much better.
I think the "not as advertised" campaign is hitting the liberals hard. People really did not think Justin was qualified to begin with after this most recent parliamentary session and as such they are questioning his ability to be PM. This is the stuff minorities are made of.
That being said, unless Justin gets a majority I doubt he will contest another election as party leader.

In Scarborough Centre, Scarborough Rouge-River and Scarborough Southwest I have seen PPC signs. Usually in clusters.
I think Jagmeet Singh happened. He did quite well in the debate and in public appearances, so people who had gone to the Green because they didn't want to vote Conservative or Liberal have swung back to the NDP.

That's why I went back to the NDP.
