The CBC’s Vote Compass for the federal election claims to help Canadians compare their views with those of political parties but has been criticized as incoherent and ineffective. Notably, it poses questions like whether the federal budget deficit should be reduced even if it leads to fewer public services, which assumes budget cuts will inherently affect social services, a stance not explicitly supported by any mainstream party. Additionally, the survey includes questions on transgender rights, which are not relevant to the current election discourse, further questioning the survey’s relevance and intent.
