Polls are sometimes bad augury, don't count on anything. Register to vote, and by mail if you like. https://ereg.elections.ca/en/ereg/index

If strategic voting appeals to you: https://votewell.ca/ https://smartvoting.ca/

Polling is such a joke. Never in my lifetime has polling given me an accurate idea of how the election will turn out.

If recent history among the nominally liberal parties in the US and the UK are any guide, here is Canada's near term future:

  1. The liberals will win by double-digit margins on a campaign promising change and reform.

  2. The liberal party, once in power, will immediately start instituting mass austerity and adopting anti-trans laws.

Are you Canadian? I’d rather have the NDP but the Liberals have been pro trans for the last decade or so. Carney’s child is non binary even

can you take that statement a step further to give it some merit? perhaps include some statements or historical data, or planned policy?

just asking as a voter who plans to vote for carney unless you give some decent information and can back it up.

Regardless of the poll numbers....VOTE!!!

You can vote most days at most Elections Canada Offices across Canada before April 22nd. There's also the advanced polling days as well and other ways to vote.

If Doug Ford somehow didn't win the recent election, Poilievre would have a lot better chances in Ontario. It tends to be a thing in Ontario where people don't want the provincial and federal to be the same party.
