Decide tactics locally, visualize strategy federally
Personal Tactical Voting in Canada
If the candidate of your party is believed to have a reasonable chance of winning or if you cannot support the policies of the candidate of the other party, then vote for your party's candidate.
If both candidates are perceived as worthy, and the candidate of the other party is deemed to have a much better chance than your own party's candidate, it may be best for the Green Democratic Party for you to vote tactically, so that we can begin the union of progressive forces with a strong voice in the Canadian Parliament.
Remember, when young people and other conscious folk decide to move Canada forward yet again, nothing can hold back the tide!
Canadian Provincial and National Strategy
In future elections, for areas where the two parties (NDP and Green Party) have agreed to merge but the actual merger date has not yet passed, it would be wise for the combined entity to not run against incumbents, for this is the base we need to build upon.
As legal and timing considerations may prevent implementation across provinces and nationally as soon as we'd all like, trailing candidates must not be discouraged from openly supporting competitive candidates of the partner party, as everyone needs to look ahead and see what can be if we will it to be.
Progressives of Canada unite!
