My dilemma – if I vote for the Conservative party, I will be a criminal!

My local Conservative candidate just came to my door and talked to me. I don’t have a problem with this guy. But I have a problem with his party leader – Stephen Harper.

Stephen Harper introduced the “Fix Election Date” law and then turned around and called a general election. My local candidate vigorously defended Stephen Harper with all kinds of excuses. But if Stephen Harper called an election BEFORE the fixed date, he breaks the law, clear and simple.

I have no problem with my local Conservative candidate. So far, he is the only local candidate of any party who came to my door. For that, he has the upper hand. But if I vote for him, it would mean that I also vote for Stephen Harper. Since Stephen Harper broke the law, he is a criminal by definition. If I vote for a criminal, it would make me a criminal by default.

So, here is my dilemma, how can I vote for my local Conservative without making myself a criminal? I bet I am not the only one who has this problem. Well if there is no solution, may be the answer is to vote for anyone but the Conservative (ie. ABC – sounds familiar huh!).
