With a federal election campaign starting soon  -- what questions do you have about opinion polls?

A federal election campaign is starting soon -- which means we are about to be bombarded by opinion polls. Weekly polls, local polls, aggregate polls... What questions do you have about political polls and how they work? Do we put too much stock in them? Not enough? And how unusual is the wild swing in the polls we've seen already this year? Mario Canseco is a pollster and the President of Research Co., and Feodor Snagovsky is a professor of political science at the University of Alberta who specializes in the comparative analysis of elections and political behaviour. They'll answer your questions!

Whether you are renting, buying, leasing or selling... What questions do you have about navigating Canada's slow housing market?

Tariff uncertainty has slowed Canada's housing market, and reports show that the national average asking price for rent has gone down for five months in a row. So is this finally good news for renters and buyers? As you might expect -- it's complicated, and depends on where you live. But whether you are renting, buying, leasing, or selling -- we have advice for you. Tom Storey is a realtor in Toronto, and Sydney Blum is a community legal worker at Dalhousie Legal Aid.
