I remember the 2011 election so well. I learned that I had lost my right to vote from abroad (because of CPC malfeasance). In the weeks after the election the only political party that would take my calls and was concerned about this affront to democracy was the @NDP
The @NDP was the first party to vocally work to re-enfranchise Canadian citizens living abroad. Five years later the @liberal_party also supported the rights of Canadians living abroad to vote.
The lone holdout and the cause of our disenfranchisement was of course @CPC_HQ
@NDP @liberal_party @CPC_HQ All of which is to say, if you believe the people should choose their politicians, you have plenty of political parties to vote for in this election. But if you like having politicians choose voters and take a dump on democracy, then @CPC_HQ is the party for you.
