Hi Canadianpolicialwatcher, I don't have time to update the page but we just released 4 updated riding polls here: http://www.votetogether.ca/pages/localpolls/ Also, you seem to know about every local poll that shows up, and I'd love to know how you seem to find them so fast. Feel free to email me at matthew [at] leadnow.ca if you'd like. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.23.140.57 (talk) 00:03, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

There's a local Thunderbay poll: http://www.895thelake.ca/news/1869360557/new-poll-shows-rickford-leading-kenora-riding

Hi, I saw that a few days ago and looked into it! It's actually numbers from a projection done for the Toronto Star by Vox Pop Labs. Must have been mistaken for a poll by the media source. canadianpoliticalwatcher (talk) 18:34, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Parm Gill

Hi there, I was just wondering if you can remember what the source was for this edit you made to the Parm Gill article about him seeking a provincial nomination. I know it was a couple of weeks ago, but someone added a fact tag to it today, and I've been searching google and no matter what combination of words I put in the search box, I'm not finding an article. I seen a couple of pages that mention him as a possible candidate, but nothing about him making an announcement on October 29. If you don't recall, it's no big deal, I'll keep checking, the source must be out there somewhere. Cmr08 (talk) 02:11, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Conservative leadership map

Hi, looks like I was making a map at the same time as you (just to put on Twitter), and I wanted to compare with your map to see if I made any errors, but I found a couple of errors that you made. Sarnia-Lambton was won by Scheer (you have it as going for Bernier) and Hamilton Centre was won by Chong (you have it for O'Toole). -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:26, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Canada 10,000 Challenge submissions

The 10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada will soon be reaching its first-anniversary. Please consider submitting any Canada-related articles you have created or improved since November 2016. Please try to ensure that all entries are sourced with formatted citations and no unsourced claims.

You may submit articles using this link for convenience. Thank-you, and please spread the word to those you know who might be interested in joining this effort to improve the quality of Canada-related articles. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:13, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

References

Just a quick reminder that when you're adding new references to articles such as By-elections to the 42nd Canadian Parliament, you can't just add the web URL alone — a complete citation has to also include the title of the reference (i.e. the headline of the article if it's a news story), the name of the media outlet that published it, and the date they published it on. This is because web URLs frequently change (e.g. if the website migrates its content to a different URL format and/or a different content management system) or die off — so if we have the complete citation details for a dead link, we can just strip the URL and still have a wholly valid reference, but if we didn't, then the link's death has rendered the information unverifiable and unreferenced again. So we need the full citation details to all be present inside the ref tags, not just the URL by itself. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Draft:List of candidates by riding for the 43rd Canadian federal election

I know that CPC rules automatically acclaimed almost every MP they had last November, but that's nearly two years before the election. If they haven't stated somewhere that they intend to run again I've been attaching a footnote that more accurately reflects their status as presumptive candidates rather than declared ones. Think of them as vaporware at this point. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 15:05, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
