About 7.3m people have cast ballots over four days of advanced voting in sign of elevated interest in 28 April poll

Summary

A record 7.3 million people have cast their ballots over four days of advanced voting in Canada’s election, marking a 25% increase over the 5.8m advanced ballots cast in the 2021 vote.

There are further indications the election campaign dominated by threats from Donald Trump has galvanized voters, including unusually high ratings for two debates last week.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is the frontrunner, though Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party is incrementally gaining ground.

This year, polling points to a two-party Liberal-Conservative race.

    I didn’t ignore it, read it, gave it a +1 and moved on. I didn’t disagree with their comment so any input made by me would have be unnecessary.

    Good lord, that’s such bullshit. If you agreed with what they said, then you wouldn’t be out here still supporting the Cons. They even directly asked you a question, which you ignored. Stop lying.

    I turned conservative when every liberal became radically defensive over the smallest issues.

    Yeah, fucking human rights getting in the way of the important things like shooting muh little guns.

    Conservatives are the absolute champions at bitching and complaining about non-issues. Go shoot your guns at some Bud Light, loser.

      You’re out here calling me nuts yet I can feel the anger through your text, I will never understand why y’all preach acceptance then turn around and pull this.

      They even directly asked you a question, which you ignored. Stop lying.

      Again I didn’t feel it necessary to add anymore input, I’m not forced to respond like how you aren’t forced to respond.

      Yeah, fucking human rights regulations getting in the way of the important things like shooting muh little guns. wilderness survival.

      Fixed that for you.

      Conservatives are the absolute champions at bitching and complaining about non-issues.

      While I support the gay, bi and trans folks the entire 2021 Liberal campaign was solely that, I would argue and say it was a non-issue before they brought attention to it.

        Classic fake pearl-clutching nonsense. I have never preached accepting hateful ideologies.

        Again I didn’t feel it necessary to add anymore input, I’m not forced to respond like how you aren’t forced to respond.

        Of course you’re not forced to respond. Just don’t pretend you’re looking for “constructive conversation” when you are just going to ignore it (or far more likely, aren’t capable of engaging in it).

        Fixed that for you.

        Why am I not surprised that you turned it into a LARP fantasy. So fucking cringe.

        While I support the gay, bi and trans folks

        Let’s be clear – you actively and publicly oppose them when you advocate to vote Conservative. PP is vocally anti-trans-rights.

        I would argue and say it was a non-issue before they brought attention to it

        Yeah, it was much easier to just keep them in the margins so you didn’t have to think about them. That’s certainly true.

        Not surprising though, its a studied fact that right-leaning people are more self-centered on average.
