2025 Provincial Election News |

This feels disingenous. The time period for each year is different. For 2022, there were 10 days of advance vote, resulting in ~106,655 votes a day. For 2018 with 5 voting days, ~139,722 ballots were cast a day. Over the THREE days this time around, there have been 678,789 votes cast, according to this article. That works out to be 226,263 votes a day, more than double the daily figure from the last election, and that one wasn't in the middle of winter.
No to say that these figures aren't bad, they are. Everyone who is able should vote. However, don't say there's been a "sharp drop", when the only sharp drop here was the amount of early voting days.

I don't think Guy-Paul Treefall supported racist colonial policies...

Who would do a better job as Prime Minister?

So what you're saying is that while he was the leader of one central brank, everything bad in the country was the fault of his policies, and also, that when he was the leader of another central bank, his policies had no effect?

If Canada had a national referendum about joining the European Union, how would you vote?

I would love to join the EU. Would make travelling or moving there so much easier, and there are many perks that only EU citizens get while there.

I've previously voted NDP, however Jagmeet's leadership has run its course. I might end up voting Liberal, depending on who wins leadership (hoping for Carney)

My experience with landlords has been increased rent and decreased services. No cleaning of common areas, limited snow/ice removal, removing the ability to use our fireplace (by covering it with plywood), and such poor communication with us and the other tenants. I could go on. I definitely don't think they're "Just getting by."
