I don't think you understand how politics work, or maybe I just don't understand canadian politics 
Voting a party into power isn't going to get weed legalized.

http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/marijuana-legalization-will-drive-young-canadian-voters-to-the-polls
from this article, 56% of canadian want to vote for a pro-marijuanna legalization candidate and I wasnt evev part of that survey . and probably lots of stoners either.
voting for the right candidate seems like the only thing i can actually do to help legalization.
So shit tell me who to vote

Vote for whoever is most likely to beat the Conservatives in your riding. They sure as fuck are not going to legalize marijuana any time soon. I think Trudeau has mused about legalization (or decriminalization at least?), but who knows what he'd actually do if the Liberals came into power.

Yeah, Trudeau would be your best bet but I agree it seems unlikely. Legalization at least.
You should also base your vote on a lot more than a single issue that may not even come up in his term. Too many people skew the votes already by voting for whoever they think is better looking or seems nicer, rather than by voting for the candidate with the policies they most agree with.
Don't be a vote skewer.

I've never really considered voting Liberal before but I probably will this time. The Liberals lost their seat to the Conservatives in my riding the last time, and I'm really hoping to see the Conservatives go down finally. Tricky with a united right and a fractured left though.

For those who want to vote for Trudeau:
Please don't. Go NDP or Conservative, I don't care. Sure he's got the nice e hair and apparently he's got a fan base, but for you guys who don't speak french, you have no idea how absolutely weird this guy is. borderline creepy. He's a french guy and he's more comfortable in French. The way he talks, what he says and his overall mannerism is extremely off... Like not normal. But as soon as he starts making a speech in English, suddenly he goes into his acting mode or whatever. Basically, English speakers don't see the real Trudeau. He's weird as fuck...
That being said, go NDP if you don't like the conservatives.

Voting NDP in a riding where the Conservatives and Liberals are going to be neck and neck is kind of pointless IMO. Personally I'll be happy if the Conservatives are replaced, regardless of whether it's the Liberals or NDP who does it (or even an alliance of both, not that that's at all likely.)
