The federal Liberals appear set to declare a snap pandemic election, but a new poll says most Canadians aren’t on the same page. Generally, “people who do want an election right now are not happy with this current government,” Mainstreet CEO Quito Maggi told the Star. The Liberals won their current minority government with 33.1 per cent of the national vote in the last federal election on Oct. 21, 2019. The Mainstreet poll is based on an automated telephone survey conducted on Aug. 10 and 11. Find the Star's federal election coverage hereDanica Samuel is a Toronto-based staff reporter for the Star.
