Prince Edward Island should be colored red, as 3 of its 4 MPs were Liberal. GoodDay (talk) 18:13, 16 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Nova Scotia is just about evenly mixed Liberal, PC & NDP. GoodDay (talk) 18:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect popular vote figures

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

This article at present gives popular vote figures that differ from those on the Elections Canada website ([1][2]).

Party	Elections Canada	Wikipedia
Conservative	5 835 270	5,832,401
NDP	4 512 411	4,508,474
Liberal	2 783 076	2,783,175
BQ	891 425	889,788
Green	572 095	576,221

These figures have apparently been in the Wikipedia article for 8½ years: [3]. Mathew5000 (talk) 00:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

And two years later, the popular vote numbers in the infobox ([4]) are still wrong. Mathew5000 (talk) 08:36, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
