Rules
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage: lemmy.ca
Typically parties release policy docs during an election. They're often costed out, and the Parliamentary Budget Officer will take a look at the costing to see if it's legit.
News sites often build comparison tools, like this one.
Politicians typically don't release the platforms before the election, and the expectation is that they may not run on everything they promised before the election.
Thanks, the comparison site looks pretty helpful.
Be aware that the comparison was for a previous election. Platforms will be different this time around. And they probably won't be available until part way through the election.
The électoral compass is a pretty good tool to find out which party you align with the closest. They way it works is you answer questions about economics, social issues, the environment etc, and after they give you a rough estimate of the party that most closely aligns with your vision
It's not out yet for this election but it should be soon
Congrats on getting your citizenship! 🥳🥳🥳
Happy to see that you're keen on participating in our democracy!
I don't really have anything to contribute to the discussion.... welcome to Lemmy!
