    Description

    The Conservative Party of Canada held a consistent and widening lead over the Liberal Party from 2022-2024, with a margin of almost 30 percent in December 2024. However, a series of events in early 2025 saw this margin shrink sharply, with the Liberals even moving ahead in the polls by March and into April. Several factors influenced this turnaround, particularly the resignation announcement of Prime Minister Trudeau in January 2025, who was a key source of the party's unpopularity. This was followed by the election of economist Mark Carney as party leader and new PM in March, which saw many former-Liberal supporters renew their support for the party, while there was also a shift of support away from the New Democratic Party (who had supported the last two ). The other major issue in this period was the U.S. trade war with Canada and Mexico, as well as Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. should annex Canada. Many voters shifted support to the Liberals due to Mark Carney's history of navigating the Canadian Central Bank through the 2008 Financial Crisis, and the Bank of England through Brexit, as they believe him to be the best option for leader during an economic crisis. Additionally, many voters believe the Conservatives and its leader, Pierre Poilievre, to be too similar to the U.S. Republican Party and its leadership, which has hurt the party during a time of strained U.S.-Canada relations. Although the Conservatives and Poilievre have harshly criticized the Trump administration in recent months, their numbers still dropped by eight percent in the first quarter of 2025. It should be noted that Canada uses a first-past-the-posts electoral system, where the party that wins the most seats in parliament can do so without winning the nationwide popular vote, as was the case in the elections of September 2021 and October 2019.

    Description

    The **** federal election in Canada took place on September 20, 2021. While some media interpreted Justin Trudeau's call for the dissolution of Parliament as an attempt to regain a majority government, these results show that the political map has remained practically unchanged, with the Conservative Party winning **** percent of the vote. Canadians' voting intentions between the announcement of the start of the election campaign on August 15 and the eve of the election fluctuated only slightly, and while many were hoping for a majority government at the end of the election, the results came as no real surprise.

    Description

    These data were collected to assess the importance of campaign dynamics and the impact of events in the understanding of election results. The study consists of five related surveys grouped around two main survey components: the referendum surveys and the election surveys. Respondents participated in at least two surveys, but not in all five. The election surveys were completed just prior to and after the October 25, 1993, Canadian election, and consist of campaign period, post-election, and mail-back components. The referendum surveys were completed just prior to and after the October 26, 1992, referendum on the Charlottetown Accord. The Charlottetown Accord contained various proposals, including the separation of Quebec from Canada as a sovereignty, the guarantee of one-quarter of the seats in the House of Commons to Quebec, and recognition of the right of Canada's aboriginal peoples to govern themselves. The major areas of investigation across all surveys were political and social awareness, attitudes, voting intentions, and behavior centered around major issues of representation, job and employment, government spending, taxes, social programs, crime and punishment, and continentalism. Variables assessed public interest in the referendum by asking respondents about the perceived effect of the referendum on their living standards, their vote intentions, predictions of the outcome of the vote, reactions to the results of the vote, knowledge about and opinions of specific provisions of the Accord, and awareness of the stand taken by political leaders, groups, and organizations regarding the Accord. Other variables probed respondents' opinions of the parties and leaders, Kim Campbell's performance in her cabinet job before she became Prime Minister, women and racial minorities, party preference, ideological leanings, vote history, and position on several policy issues. Additional items address general attitudes toward the deficit and higher taxes, abortion, Senate reform, aboriginal people, Canadian unity and Quebec sovereignty, feminists, homosexuals, immigrants, the business community, the media, unions, God, democracy, unemployment, inflation, and pensions. Demographic data collected on respondents include age, marital status, level of education, employment status, income level, religious affiliation, union affiliation, citizenship, ethnicity, language, and gender.

The questions are mainly political, asking about preferred political leaders, parties, and issues. The subjects of the questions include taxation, Canada's centennial, prices, and labour unions. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: Armed forces unification; Canada's centennial; Expo '67 interest; federal elections; high prices; the importance of good job security compared to higher wages for Canadians; mandatory retirement at age 65; performance of Pearson's government; political party word association; preferred political parties; whether the prestige of the United States is declining; major problems facing labour unions; treatment of the French in business and civil service; union membership; unnecessary spending of tax dollars; and voting behaviour. Basic demographics variables are also included.

    Description

    Following the Canadian federal election of September 20, 2021, the Liberals came out on top in Quebec, with 33.6 percent of the vote, followed by the Bloc Quebecois, at 32.1 percent. The Bloc Québécois is a federal pro-independence, social democratic political party that operates exclusively in Quebec. Due to its nature, Bloc Québécois candidates run only in federal Quebec races, as its primary objective is to promote Quebec independence. The Bloc is the only federal political party represented in the House of Commons that is active in only one province. It is also the only political party that cannot mathematically form a majority government, nor does it wish to do so.

Description

The Conservative Party of Canada held a consistent and widening lead over the Liberal Party from 2022-2024, with a margin of almost 30 percent in December 2024. However, a series of events in early 2025 saw this margin shrink sharply, with the Liberals even moving ahead in the polls by March and into April. Several factors influenced this turnaround, particularly the resignation announcement of Prime Minister Trudeau in January 2025, who was a key source of the party's unpopularity. This was followed by the election of economist Mark Carney as party leader and new PM in March, which saw many former-Liberal supporters renew their support for the party, while there was also a shift of support away from the New Democratic Party (who had supported the last two ). The other major issue in this period was the U.S. trade war with Canada and Mexico, as well as Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. should annex Canada. Many voters shifted support to the Liberals due to Mark Carney's history of navigating the Canadian Central Bank through the 2008 Financial Crisis, and the Bank of England through Brexit, as they believe him to be the best option for leader during an economic crisis. Additionally, many voters believe the Conservatives and its leader, Pierre Poilievre, to be too similar to the U.S. Republican Party and its leadership, which has hurt the party during a time of strained U.S.-Canada relations. Although the Conservatives and Poilievre have harshly criticized the Trump administration in recent months, their numbers still dropped by eight percent in the first quarter of 2025. It should be noted that Canada uses a first-past-the-posts electoral system, where the party that wins the most seats in parliament can do so without winning the nationwide popular vote, as was the case in the elections of September 2021 and October 2019.
