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 has been a Conservative Party stronghold for many years regardless of how the rest of the country votes, so that checks out.

True...and kinda sad imo. Kamloops used to be an NDP town for many years, and that's how I used to vote. Everyone I've talked to about the election is voting Liberal. But, I'm not talking to many random strangers. Lol. I'll just be glad when the election is over.

Here's a Nelson Riis story. When I went to Cariboo college in the late 80's (88 I think) , my apartment was in Brock. Had to drive over the bridge in the lead up to the federal election. Everyday it was a different outfit on the pedestrian overpass waving to the voters. When the election was over and Nelson won, the next day he was on the bridge with a thank you sign waving at people. I liked that...
