Politics Observation 48 hours before election day

Is it just me or others have notice the trend that all the social media (including redditt), and all the tv station there is such a big liberal presence and supporting the liberals, but when talking/overhearing conversation in coffee shops, parks, workplaces etc its overwhelming the support for the conservatives.

Feels like there is two reality around me, one that lives in my cell phone screen and the other out and about.

Kamloops used to be one of the safest NDP seats under Nelson Riis until suddenly it wasn't. Did the community change that much, or was he an inordinately popular aberration?

Nelson was popular because he was easy to approach, was genuinely concerned about his riding and his constituents and wasnt afraid to make his voice heard.
