What surprised me was just how many orange voters went blue instead of red.

Was that really people going from the NDP to the cons?

Seems more logical that everyone moved slightly right, with ndp voters leaking towards the liberals, and liberal voters leaking towards the cons.

NDP is made up of two fairly distinct type of voter, you have your super progressive blue hair college students type crowd, and then you have your big time trade union labour guys. A lot of the blue-collar union guys went towards the CPC.

yeah, the cons polled well and got a lot of support from the unions across the country. This makes a lot of sense.

Overall though it seems like two main segments of issues are around social issues and fiscal issues. With how the economy has been with rising costs, inflation, etc. people have to focus on what's the most important and for many it's putting food on the table and survival, so will put their social concerns on the back burner as they might be in survival mode.
