    Pierre’s party, the Conservative Party of Canada, has a sizable chance of winning our election. Our prime minister up until recently, Justin Trudeau, is not terribly popular with voters, which might push more people to vote left. But since we have first past the post voting, that might help the conservatives win 😥️.

            Very true, but are there differences you think are relevant to how Canadians vote in the next federal election?
