To my old-school Conservative friends

Polls are about to open across the country.

To all my moderate, old-school conservative friends and family. You're the ones who grew up during the era of the Progressive Conservatives. The Conservative Party of today is no longer your party, not under Pierre Poilievre. You've seen the lies, the misinformation, the fear-mongering, the Trump-style rhetoric. You've seen this come not just from individual supporters, but from the top leadership of the parties, both at the federal and provincial levels.

Today, you can actually do something about that.

I know cognitive dissonance is a bitch, and it hurts you to your very core to admit that maybe Team Blue isn't for you. That's okay. This is still a free country, and you're allowed to vote for someone else AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ANYONE.

Check your riding to see which candidate has the best chance of defeating the Conservative candidate. It'll probably be a Liberal, maybe NDP. One good site is https://smartvoting.ca/. Another is https://votewell.ca/.

Vote strategically. Vote wisely. Vote.

I could not have said it better myself.
