Vote Compass is a tool developed by political scientists for exploring how your views align with those of the parties
Did anyone else feel like this thing was just a tool to mine data?

Depending on how you 'weight' certain issues, you can end up NDP to Libs to Cons.
That's how it's supposed to work though. It's very unlikely that a person would strongly agree with a party's stance on every single item, so you weight what items are most important to you and calculates how that aligns across the parties.
On The post debate scrums, note the number of views, likes and dislikes to each candidate. Very telling

These debates are so dumb. They don't have any substance, it's just a bunch of children yelling at each other.
I really wish there was a better forum to help Canadians decide on who to vote for. These things are just silly.
McLeans has a summarized version of each parties stance on a bunch of issues, but it hasn't been updated since June IIRC. I skimmed it and as per usual I agree with each party on a few things and strongly disagree with each party on others.

Ya it shows who has a life. The PPC has a lot of support from 18 to 34 year old males. Most without families/kids. Most people with families/kids/jobs don't spend a lot of time online. If you ever go to a city council meeting it's mostly just people with a lot of free time.

wow. You're actually that salty huh?
Wish there were some data to drop on that little nugget. Oh wait. What's this?
This may come as a surprise to (no-one on the planet but) you. younger demographics tend to lean more left, when they're naive and free of responsibility. As they age and need to start paying for things, people tend to shift toward the right.
Bernier got more likes than NDP, liberals, greens, and BQ combined
Let me guess; bots? Russia? China?

The PPC is trash. You got a bunch or rejected cons as candidates including a disgraced former MP who used immigration fraud to get into Canada, a wife of a now dead crack head, and some nut job who thinks he is the second coming of jarah.
Do you even think they are going to win any seats? lol!!!

Edit: 2.4k likes.
More than ALL other parties combined

c'mon man ... you're better and more intelligent than that.
'likes' or 'thumbs down' on a Youtube vid means sh*t!
Both of you stop filling this thread with non-sense and BS.
It's still data.
Don't blame me if Manic! gets triggered by anything that might be seen as favorable to conservative constituents

Google is 'still' a good way for medical diagnosis
I'm not saying likes equal votes.
But it's activity. It's not nothing.

Tbh, i don't even care if he doesn't get a single seat.
He built a national party fielding candidates in nearly every riding which has been able to compete in the federal debates, in a matter of eight months.
He's already surpassed what many thought was inconceivable.

The PPC doesn't have to win any seats just yet. They are a new party, just a year old. Yet they managed to raise a lot of money and put forth a lot of candidates in that short time. Bernier and his candidates have done well to use Twitter and social media to get their message out despite the efforts of the legacy media and the other parties, and lackies like Manic, to misrepresent and ignore them. Voting for them, even in a likely loss, but in significant numbers, will help put their ideas into the forefront and force their opponents to address or even adopt their views.

They are going nowhere fast and will never go anywhere. Majority of Canadians are left leaning. The only reason the cons have a chance is because of the vote split between the Liberals/NDP/Green parties.

He basically scraped the barrel to find candidates. Our local PPC candidate only joined after she lost the nomination for the conservatives.
He is going to out of a job soon.

And another one is gone the second one from the same riding/party. This one is also claiming the party is racist and intolerant. How many does that make?
Winnipeg North PPC candidate ends run for 'racist, intolerant' party
The People's Party of Canada candidate in the Winnipeg North federal riding has resigned after deciding the party is "racist and intolerant."
In an email statement sent to the Free Press Tuesday, Victor Ong — "the son of Asian immigrants" — said he was resigning, effective immediately.
Victor Ong quit as the People's Party of Canada candidate in Winnipeg North, in part, because he disagrees with the extreme interpretation of the party's policies, which has attracted ugliness and conspiracy theorists. (Supplied)</p>

"Admittedly, the PPC paradigms are a little radical/right for my comfort level," Ong wrote. "Still, up until recently, I would have never considered this party (at its core) racist and intolerant.
"And, because no one set of policies 'fits all,' I tended to focus more on (PPC Leader) Maxime Bernier's frank talk and candour. In spite of not always agreeing with Mr. Bernier's sentiments, I respected his willingness to address unpopular issues and concerns — and a handful of 'common sense' policies which would benefit everyone. Unfortunately, the extreme interpretation of these policies has attracted all manner of fringe, scores of conspiracy theorists and a host of ugliness from coast to coast. That's not to mention Bernier's embittered base, replete with 'white is right' ideology and (Make America Great Again) hat-wearing members.
"Increasingly, this is neither a source of pride, nor a good look, for the son of Asian immigrants."
Ong is the second candidate in Winnipeg North who has dropped out of the race to try to unseat Liberal incumbent Kevin Lamoureux in the Oct. 21 federal election.
Cameron Ogilvie, who had been nominated to run for the Conservative party, quit on the first day of the campaign last month after PressProgress, a left-wing media arm of the Broadbent Institute, found he had shared social-media posts expressing ethnocentric and Islamophobic sentiments.
The party immediately asked Ogilvie to step down and replaced him with candidate Jordyn Ham.

In Nanaimo we have 9 candidates 4 on the left 3 on the right plus 2 independents. In the last buy election we had 4 on the right but one guy dropped out after people started laughing at him for being a anti vaxx flat earther.
If you think Canada is a dumpster fire you can leave. People move half way around the world to find a better country. It should not be too hard for you to upgrade from what you call a dumpster fire.
