The CBC has released a new online tool that allows Canadians (or anyone) to answer some multiple choice questions and be told what party they should belong to. The Vote Compass tool asks how the user feels or how they would change 30 hot button issues. The answers are tabulated and the tool assigns the user to a likely political party and shows their leanings on a graph of social and economic conservatism or liberalism.
As you can see the questions are not exactly nuanced in all cases and lean toward the blunt since they need to suss out a person’s political views in short order. The tool is written in Adobe Flash so don’t bother using your elitist iPad to try to access it.
Once you’ve filled out all the questions in your choice of English or Français you’re told which party you need to start politely telling your friends about.
You can then tell the world where you stand with one click of the Facebook share button.
Update:
Thanks to Deadlist Sin (an actual Canadian, unlike me) we now learn that the liberal bias in the media is a real thing. Even people who consider themselves conservative are being labeled as liberals by the CBC.
