I’m not Canadian, would anyone be willing to explain who these parties are and how the polls are looking, please? I suppose I could look it up but would rather some personal perspectives.
Liberals (red) are sort of like our democrats who are the incumbent have been trending up.
Conservatives (blue) are like Republican light are trending down
NDP (orange) is more left leaning are down slightly
This change is most likely due to the recent threats from America and the perception that Pierre Poilievre leader of the conservative party is seen as been cozier with US interests.
Thanks for explaining this. It’s interesting to see how US politics are affecting Canadian vote shares. Is that a common thing or is it an isolated event given what’s going on in the US at the moment?

Allow me to illustrate with a quote from former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau:
“Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt,”
That was part of a speech he gave at the Washington press club in 1969.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. It reminds me a lot of UK politics, even the way the parties are aligned and in their vote shares. It looks quite similar to the polls leading up to the labour win in the last election. I’m wishing the best for a good outcome for Canada. Hoping this trend continues and they push populist politics out of the country.

And he hasn’t really said anything against Trump yet.

The Canadian system was initially modeled on the UK system (similar to most commonwealth countries)

To add on for completeness, the Bloc is like the Quebec party, that wants more stuff and independence for Quebec. The Green party is self-explanatory.
