As another Canadian, your only choice is Conservative or fringe parties.
Trudeau Jr, IMO, is being very carefully managed by the senior liberal party who want their turn on the gravy train again. His father was a good PM in some ways (getting the government out of the population's bedroom) but a terrible, terrible fiscal leader. Trudeau is saying whatever the hell will get him elected and putting a bit of his own spin on things. Really, this guy needed another 10 years in parliament to really get his feet wet in politics and learn the system. Instead we have a neophyte with no power, no influence in his own party, and beholden to hidden masters within his own ranks.
The NDP have a centrist leader, who I think the party will chuck ASAP if they get in power and replace Mulcair with a properly crazy nutjob that will fulfill the feminist agenda.
I don't think the Conservatives are a great party, their moderately competent only in some areas. I'd give them a score of 4.5/10. It's just that the other parties, ARE WORSE.
That said, if your riding has a truly amazing one in a generation candidate who is a Liberal or NDP, who despite the party, you think is really the kind of man/woman who should represent your riding, vote for 'em.
