Fortunately, almost every riding in Montreal is so lopsided that it doesn't matter who you vote for. Unless you live in Outremont, Papineau, or Verdun, strategic voting is 100% pointless. Also, political parties that get subsidized per vote, as long as they get at least 2%. So if you have no other reason to vote, vote for the party that you want to donate $1.50 per year in tax money to. Or don't vote, and demand that the government send $1.50 to our crumbling hospitals.    → comment by chrisdye (#15) on December 5, 2005 Well, that's what I understood the article to be saying. That is, vote strategically if it will make a difference, which you determine by looking at previous election results; otherwise vote for whoever you want to give money to.    → comment by Mariana (#35) on December 5, 2005 Also bear in mind that Strategic Voting can be really tricky and by its nature sort of prevents major change...    → comment by Sean on December 6, 2005
