Presuming you're a Canadian citizen (if you're not, you can't vote), it
concerns me that you've been here long enough to get your citizenship yet
aren't up to speed on this.
Having said that, this question is better asked in an electoral or
political newsgroup, not an immigration forum.
Good luck finding your answers...there are plenty of sources out there.

Understanding that Canada has a constitutional left-wing bias:
(New) Conservative Party:
------------------------------
bias: left-right
system: low taxes, high personal responsibilities, long range planning,
majority rule.
stereotype: smiling rich white guy
Liberal Party:
---------------
bias: left-left
system: high taxes, high state responsibilities, short-range planning,
minority consideration.
stereotype: easygoing working-class family man
New Democratic Party
--------------------------
bias: very left-left
system: very high taxes, low personal responsibilities, reactive planning,
minority rule.
stereotype: bitter, loud, pushy, utopianist.
So, come election time, if you want Canada to be run like a restaurant, vote
Conservative. If you want it to be run like a cafeteria vote Liberal, and
if you want it to be run like a soup-kitchen, vote NDP.

Hmm what you mean to say is if you want it run like walmart (shitty
products, low prices but all products made in sweat shops oversees, and
no positive effect on domestic job markets), vote conservative.
If you want it run around in cirles (like a dog chasing it's
tail)...vote liberal...
If you want it to run long enough to figure out that's it's broken vote
NDP
If you want it to be a full of crackheads, vote for the freedom party
or
if you want it to moan and groan and whine adn complain vote for any
party coming out of quebec
