it is terrible to live in the if we only knew then times

Only real change since the election seems to be that without political inertia, CAQ has collapsed and their supporters have gone to different parties. If I were to guess I think the PCQ is picking up more supporters from this than this poll shows.
New Leger Quebec poll 🔵PQ: 30% (+2.0%) 🔴PLQ: 26% (+1.8%) 🟣PCQ: 22% (+1.3%) 🟠QS: 12% (-0.4%) 💠CAQ: 8% (-5.4%) ⚪OTH: 2% (+0.7%) (+/- change from the 2026 Quebec election results)

the last Leger poll before the election was very accurate but did underestimate the PCQ. But perhaps the PCQ have hit a ceiling, they're not exactly moderates.

Relately, here's the swing of 2020 Liberal to 2024 Conservative vote. The United independents affects the results a bit, but you can see the general geographic trend.
A big question for this election is gonna be how much the vote distribution of the Conservatives is going to change from 2024. They lost support compared to the Liberals in wealthier urban areas while gaining among immigrants in Surrey. With Doerkeson's more moderate campaign,

Another thing about the BC election, it's very possible the Greens lose seats. Yeah the Greens are up in the polls, but that's entirely from gaining in Vancouver. On the island, they're down, and they only won Saanich North by a couple points last time.
BC Election Model (Oct-9) 🔵CPBC: 58 seats (+14), 45.61% 🟠BCNDP: 33 seats (-14), 40.87% 🟢GPBC: 2 seats (-), 9.61% 🟡1BC: 0 seats (new), 1.96% 🔴CBC: 0 seats (new), 1.40% Conservative majority

Van West-Sea to Sky, meanwhile, also might be competative. Theoretically the Greens would be doing better there, it is Metro Van, but I don't think it's that area specifically they're improving in. Also the Cons nearly won it in 2024, and they're up in the polls.

For example, if the opposition party coalition is halfway between 2024 and 2020, the BC Conservatives still win, but go from 57 seats to 52 seats with the same vote share.

Will Conservative support this time look more like the BC Liberal coalition? This would probably makd the Con vote less efficient I think.

Alberta and Quebec are the only two genuinely unique cultures in Canada. The rest of the country is just a weak imitation of an American Blue state - and not even one of the remotely cool ones.
