    That was mainly countering this, my point was that I know his views and positions on individual issues.

    2 people are hardly indicative of the province and the 2 big political parties have wealthy donors who can afford to donate consistently and the media outlets have popularity thresholds for debate eligibility.

    Ask yourself why the debates often only have 3 contestants in attendance.

    It’s much harder for everyday people to hear about the smaller parties in general as they do not have the donations or candidates to be visible enough.

    At least we have vote subsidies to even the playing field a bit.

      I never pretended 2 people represented the province, I only gave an anecdote.

      Stop trying lecture every time you reply.
