The editorial board has endorsed the Conservatives, but says Mr. Harper should no longer lead the party, and that he should quickly resign after Oct. 19. "It is not time for the Conservatives to go," the Oct. 16 editorial reads, "But it is time for Mr. Harper to take his leave."
This campaign has touched on issues affecting Canadians' everyday lives and futures in many different ways. Here's some essential reading we've prepared:

Who won the debates?
Judge for yourself; here are some of the highlights. The federal leaders have squared off face-to-face several times in this campaign, but whereas past election debates were nationally televised events run by a consortium of broadcasters, this time they were independent events run by news organizations such as The Globe and Mail and Maclean's, by Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs or by a French-language media consortium.
Check The Globe's riding map to see where the ridings are and which candidates are running there. You can search for your riding by postal code. (Bookmark that link if you'd like to follow the full results live on election night.) Those ridings may look very different from the last election, as Canada has 30 more ridings now than it did in 2011; here's another map to compare the 2015 ridings with the old ones.
Once you're clear on which riding you're in, you can
search Elections Canada's site to find out where your polling station is. (If you got a voter information card in the mail, it should have the address of your polling station as well.)
