I would probably be a Liberal and therefore would have voted Liberal in most elections.
I may have considered voting for Joe Clark's Tories in the 1970s as I would probably have disliked Trudeau - I get the impression he spent most of his time dealing with 'chattering class' issues like constitutional reform rather than bread-and-butter issues that affect peoples' everyday lives.
I may also have ended up voting for Mulroney's Tories in 1988 as I believe that election was all about NAFTA and free trade. Free trade is a fact of life and opposition to it is a bit like believing that the earth is flat.
How I vote would depend on where in Canada I was. If I was in one of the Western provinces, where the Liberals were almost nonexistent in the late 70s and the early 80s, I may have voted tactically for Ed Broadbent's NDP.
