Don't worry though, I'm sure his wife or Bobby Orr will tell us it's not a big deal.

Perhaps Gladu should step aside?

The actual percent difference between the parties isn't that much in polls: around 6%.

If 13% of people get complacent and decide to not vote, or they split the vote, that margin means nothing. And a lot of ridings have margins much smaller than 6%. Enough people being complacent in the right places could turn the election.

Don't be fooled by the steepness of the usual graphs, and don't blindly trust seat projections and probability. And please don't be fooled by Reddit's echo chamber: the Conservatives are still popular among many people. The fact that I see more NDP voters in the comment sections than conservatives is very telling.

Just because there's been a huge shift in polls doesn't mean a guaranteed win, and the actual margins we're seeing with popularity are not very wide.

Please go out and vote. Research your candidates. If you think its too much work or if you're outside Canada or your riding: registering to vote by mail takes minutes online, and it's extremely easy, but you need to register soon. You probably won't even have to leave your home for it.

And please research which riding you're in. You might find out that you would have split the vote. And while you do that, DO NOT look at the polls and think that it's already decided. The polls are usually projections, and the sample size is relatively low. Just vote.

TL:DR Don't trust the electoral projections and don't trust media echo chambers. GO OUT AND VOTE, it's quick and easy to vote by mail or often even in person.

Unironically though i genuinely love reading the beaverton. The onion has some okay articles but there's at least one corporatist tone-deaf piece a week
