MAINSTREAM MEDIA AT A GLANCE

While the impact of the media is hard to quantify, especially when coverage can not be easily accumulated under one tab, one thing is true: Many companies not hesitate to endorse parties. At the same time, there are those that suggest to their readers to vote strategically or attempt to appear neutral. Most of said endorsements were given around a day to two before the actual election.

In general, the Conservatives had the most endorsements, but said outlets were owned  by one corporation where the Liberals had a varied number of groups suggesting voting for them. There was, however, no such peak in approval due to these articles, so it's more probable to suggest that the media reacts to, rather than sets the opinions.

Being a rather unique election in every sense of the word, public opinion shifted rather significantly throughout the whole campaign.

Events are considered controversies when one or more member of the party is forced to publicly apologise or resign. However, it would seem that they had no real impact on who was voted in in each riding.
