If somebody tells you voting is pointless, they are voting for somebody you wouldn't vote for.

I don't really think that's the case. If you live in an exceptionally partisan area then there's little impact to voting.

That depends on your voting system.

Right, but this is a Canadian community about the recent Canadian election. The voting system is assumed.
In my riding, if you only had the option of liberal or conservative and a 100% turnout we would still have elected the same blue brick for the 4th time.
Usually this just means I get to vote for whatever party I like the platform enough of/like the leader.

I mean we've got the same system in the UK tbh.
It's shite, and most of the time you can get a donkey in power if you stick the right colour rosette on it, but last election we did see seats change power that had been held for a century.
I'm not really prepared to shoot anybody to get change. Voting is all we've got.

Casting a vote is as effective at achieving political objectives as using Purell a couple times a week is at eradicating COVID.
Voting isnt pointless, it's just not nearly enough.
