Liberals (red) are sort of like our democrats who are the incumbent have been trending up. Conservatives (blue) are like Republican light are trending down NDP (orange) is more left leaning are down slightly

This change is most likely due to the recent threats from America and the perception that Pierre Poilievre leader of the conservative party is seen as been cozier with US interests.

And he hasn't really said anything against Trump yet.

Thanks for explaining this. It's interesting to see how US politics are affecting Canadian vote shares. Is that a common thing or is it an isolated event given what's going on in the US at the moment?

Allow me to illustrate with a quote from former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau:

"Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt,"

That was part of a speech he gave at the Washington press club in 1969.
