Stupid Canadian Election

I am pretty laid back about politics. It is the Canadian way to be. And the NDP party, who is the party I vote for never gets more than a handful of seats in federal elections (they have won a few isolated provincial elections). Federal politics bounces back and forth between the liberals and the conservative. When one party fucks up the other one is voted in next time. The only thing the liberal party ever did that was good was vote in gay marriage. Now, after Robbie watched Sesame Street Monday, I flipped on the news and there was the house of commons voting that they had no confidence in the current liberal party goverment. Forcing the prime minister into a election. I thought hmm, that is pretty interesting and historic considering how laid back Canadians are about politics. Fast forward to last night, I am watching the news and they are showing speeches from party leaders. The conservative part leader (who is a shoe in to get elected considering the nonconfidence vote) is saying he wants to revoke the same-sex marriage law, he wants to put it before the house for a vote. What the fuck! If the house ends up being mostly conservative we know it will get voted out. He did say that all same-sex marriages that have occured will be left alone and considered valid. Thanks a lot homophobic asshole. This means Karen and I would still be considered married, but how long before they try to change that. And what about my friends who have not found the right life partner, will they be denied the right to marriage? People laughed at how quick Karen and I got married when the law came into effect. Our first wedding was set for when I was 37 weeks pregnant, Robbie came early and we quickly rescheduled to when he was 6 weeks old. We were worried the law would change.
My big problem is who do I vote for. I am a staunch NDP supporter they support gay marriage and are on the fringes of socialism. They are great party who want to help all minorities. But, usually they do not stand a chance of winning. Would I be throwing away my vote? Should I vote liberal, even though I do not think they are the right party, just so it is a vote against the conservatives. I feel that voting liberal is the only real way to protect gay marriage. And if the conservatives get in who know how many human rights we will lose. Wow, who thought this Canadian would expend so much energy thinking about federal politics.
