With BC’s next provincial election coming up in October and the United States gearing up for their federal election this November, some have started to ponder how the next federal vote will pan out.
The next Canadian federal election is slated to take place in October 2025, and thus far, polls show that most of Canada is looking to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and replace him with Pierre Poilievre.
According to 338 Canada, the Conservative Party is currently leading in every province, minus Quebec.
Across the country, this poll predicts the Conservatives would form a majority government if the election were to take place today with 209 seats.
To form a majority government a party needs to win at least 172 seats.
In BC, the federal election projection suggests the Conservatives would take 33 of 43 seats, as of this publication.
Additionally, BC-based analytics firm Research Co. did a recent poll as well that supports the findings of 338 Canada’s polls.
Respondents to Research Co.’s most recent poll said that if the election were to be held tomorrow, they’d vote:
- Conservative Party – 36%
- Liberal Party – 22%
- New Democratic Party – 15%
- Bloc Québécois – 8%
- Green Party – 5%
- People’s Party of Canada – 2%
- Independent – 1%
- Undecided – 11%
Additionally, the Research Co. poll asked Canadians what the most important issues are to them.
Respondents’ answers to the survey suggest that housing, homelessness and poverty (32%); the economy and jobs (25%); health care (15%); immigration (10%); and the environment (6%) are the most crucial issues to them.

Conversely, in the upcoming BC election, 338 Canada’s polls suggest that the BC NDP are still in the lead and are projected to win a majority government with 53 seats. Only 47 are needed to form a majority government.
However, this provincial poll does suggest that the Conservative Party of BC has drastically overtaken the BC United Party who currently act as the official Opposition.
The BC Conservatives are projected to win 39 seats.
