Something I've wondered is how the poll aggregators apply the vote % to regional breakdowns / seat estimates. Are they using the voting patterns from previous elections, or is there polling data broken down by seat?

So if voting patterns changed significantly without overall vote % changing much, the results could still be very very different, correct?

Though technically true, in this party-driven system, the MPs are kept in-line with what the PM wants. In theory you're voting for an MP to represent you, but it does feel like in practice you vote for an MP to represent their leader.

Am I literally voting for Carney? No. Am I voting for the guy that will get Carney in office? Yeah

It's ABC, but it's also the result of Singh. NDP was neck and neck with Liberals when the Liberals were polling poorly, which could've been the NDP's chance. If Singh still doesn't get replaced after this election, I don't think the NDP is going to fare well.

I still think this was a mistake, dental industry needs better regulation before we subsidize all the private practice with this dental plan. It can and should be much cheaper.

good app interface

Maybe it's because I don't use any other Apple products, but I struggle with its interface

He won't get hired if he isn't able to speak the language (whatever that might be for the region/clinic/hospital), it doesn't need to be part of licensing.
