CBC created the CBC Vote Compass. It consists of a questionaire and once you fill it out (it takes ten minutes) you are told which party is closest to you in terms of the policies you support. You can even chose which policies are more or less important to you.
Upon completion, your voting preference is laid out on a graph along with different political parties. If you click on each party, you can learn what policies they are for and against and how it compares to your preferences.
If you want to learn whether claims or true or false, the best thing to do is to read multiple articles on an issue as they will take into account different perspectives. Another way to learn about true or false claims to use a third party Fact Check site (not one run by any political party).
Each media outlet has vowed to check the accuracy of claims on a day to day basis and report on them in the news. In addition a non-profit FACTSCAN will check the facts on claims and rate them.
Student Vote is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that aims to build the capacity and commitment of young Canadians to participate in their democracy.
Student Vote’s flagship program is a parallel election for students under the voting age, coinciding with official election periods. The program combines in-class learning, family dialogue, media consumption and an authentic voting experience. The purpose is to provide young Canadians with an opportunity to experience the democratic process firsthand and practice the habits of informed and engaged citizenship.
Student Vote is a great resource for those who are eager to encourage the youth vote in Canada.
