Canadian federal election thread

[rcv]

I'm going to be stragetically voting this year as a ABC (Anything But Conservative) voter. Conservatives have a strong foothold in my area, so I have to vote for the Liberals because their the most likely to defeat them in my area. If you're intersted in doing the same, you can find your riding here (http://www.strategicvoting.ca/alldistricts.php ). If you don't know your riding, that can be found here http://www.elections.ca/scripts/vis/FindED?L=e&PAGEID=20

I'll be posting the Nano's polling projections everyday here.

11/10/2015
LPC: 35.1%
CPC: 29.0%
NDP: 25.0%

I'm voting NDP.

I really liked the NDP up until 2 week ago. They had the lead and were poised to stay in the lead. THe past week or two was just like a dominoe effect of all the fuckups Muclair had. It's sad how much they've dropped in the polls. The biggest thing that put me off the NDP was how much they were trying to appeal to the right winged potential voters :/ Just stick with ur original plan smh

 

[Sultana]

It's really because I can't stand the liberal candidate in my ward and although they'll win in a landslide, I'll still vote NDP.

Voted Liberal literally 30 minutes ago. It's gonna be really interesting in my riding, it's been a Conservative stronghold since god knows when. But now the polls are saying it's neck and neck between them and Liberals.

CBC isn't even liberal, it's a crown corporation run by the govt. CTV aka Bell, have been pretty non-partisan in the elections so far. There are a lot of these type of polls and because it's a daily poll, the numbers can become misconstrued. I agree tho it's probably closer. Usually there's a 2-3% margin of error. For whatever it's worth, the CBC poll tracker (which is differnt from Nanos) shows the liberals ahead as well. http://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/poll-tracker/2015/index.html

Lol @ CBC not being liberal. Its called the Conservative Bashing Corporation



Look at Peter Mansbridge's reaction Monday night when he calls the winner. He was visibly frustrated in 2011. His bias and the bias of other reporters and anchors is so obvious



They don't even call IS terrorists or extremists. They call them "rebels".

Joke of the day.

They aren't liberal though...

Their a crown corporation. I mean crown corporations aren't entirely reliant on the government, but they are administered by the government. That's pretty funny that you think they were anti-conservative, especially considering Stephen Harper has a minister dedicated to appointing the CBC's board of directors and CEO. https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/gov-gouv/rc-cr/links-liens-eng.asp#c

Crown corporation or not they have an obvious liberal bias in their reporting.

Allegations of liberal bias

In 2009, CBC President Hubert Lacroix commissioned a study to determine whether its news was biased, and if so, to what extent. He said: "Our job — and we take it seriously — is to ensure that the information that we put out is fair and unbiased in everything that we do".[53] The study, the methodology of which was not specified, was due to report results in the fall of 2010.[53]

In April 2010, the Conservatives accused pollster Frank Graves of giving partisan advice to the Liberal Party of Canada, noting his donations to the party since 2003. Graves directed a number of public opinion research projects on behalf of the CBC as well as other media organizations, and also appeared on a number of CBC television programs relating to politics.[54]

In March 2011, the Toronto Sun accused Vote Compass, an online voter engagement application developed by political scientists and launched by CBC during the 2011 federal election campaign, of a liberal bias. The accusation centred on the observation that one could provide identical responses to each proposition in Vote Compass (i.e. answer "strongly agree" to all propositions or "strongly disagree" to all propositions) and would in each case be positioned closest to the Liberal Party in the results.
