The Conservative party is currently leading polls here in Canada because of the unpopularity of Justin Trudeau.
The Conservative party are also conspiracy-loving, reality-denying loonies like the Republicans, but since “we’re Canada”, and “it can’t happen here”, they’ll probably form the government next year.

Polls are shit. The only one that matters EVER is the one on election day.

You should try stomping around the room and yelling at the screen.
Polls are shit. Only one poll counts. Even the article you posted has a self-inserted bias.
