That's a pretty safe guess.I'll go out on a bit of a limb with 170 conservatives , 100 liberals ,and 68 for the rest.

Re: Politics
Worst election ever, IMO. There's really no party running on a centrist platform.
I already voted in advance polls (because of work), but I seriously considered not even bothering. I've never not voted before, but this is the closest I've come yet.
I sense a general lack of enthusiasm this election. I wonder how that will be reflected in the polls... seems unlikely turnout will be as high as in 2015.

Re: Politics
Agreed Abby Sr. I also voted in the advance poll (do to my work schedule) being in a new riding and all my interest is like very low you may as well go blind folded and play pin the tail on the donkey.Abby_wx wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 12:42 am Worst election ever, IMO.

Re: Politics
Has anyone else tried the Vote Compass on the CBC site?
https://votecompass.cbc.ca/canada/
This probably explains why I was having so much trouble figuring out who to vote for... I'm miles away from all of them.
This isn't totally accurate of course. For myself, I'd say they got the left/right part pretty much correct, but I'd place myself slightly above the middle line. It all comes down to how they interpret the answers to specific questions. One question I recall was "How much immigration should Canada have?" I selected "much less", which the compass probably considers a socially conservative answer. My main reasons for wanting less immigration are housing affordability and environmental issues, neither of which are socially conservative positions.
I seem to recall being above the center line when I did the compass back in 2015. This is not surprising, because what's considered the center today is not the same as it was four years ago, and personal views also shift over time.

Re: Politics
So you're a playmaker. Do you dish the puck to your left winger as much as your right winger?
