VOTE COMPASS
From CBC - “Vote Compass is a tool developed by political scientists to help you explore how your views compare with those of the parties.” It was made in collaboration with Vox Pop Labs.
As with all voting resources - we advise exercising caution and critical thinking when using this tool. It is designed to help you understand where your views lie on the political spectrum, not to tell you who to vote for. Be sure to check out our ridings’ candidates, and their parties to conduct your own research on their policies, and how they align with your views.
Strategic Voting
You may have heard of strategic voting: the idea of voting not just for your favourite candidate, but for the one most likely to win against someone you don’t want elected. It’s a way some voters try to make their vote count in a close race.
Should you choose to vote this way, there are tools online to help make your decision, but be aware some are publicly against certain parties (which is why we’ve not listed any here). If you are curious, we recommend doing a bit of research and using your best judgment.
fact-checking:
With news content restricted on major social media platforms in Canada, doing your own research is more important than ever. As you explore information online, it's important to look at multiple sources and perspectives to help you form a well-rounded view. However, remember to check the facts, and consider where those facts are coming from.
This Wikipedia list of fact-checking websites is a helpful starting point. It includes reputable fact-checkers from around the world, along with details about who funds or supports them - so you can make informed choices about which sources, and fact-checkers, to trust.
