Opinion polling

change
 
The current opinion polling for the 45th Canadian federal election
  1. A redistribution is required to take effect by 2024, which will increase the number of seats.
  2. Though parties registered with Elections Canada can field candidates in any riding they wish, the Bloc Québécois has never fielded candidates outside of Quebec (78 seats). Thus they currently cannot gain a majority in parliament.
  3. Ran in Beauce, lost.
  4. Ran in Burnaby North—Seymour in 2019, lost. Kuttner did not run in 2021.
