I am a bit confused Pluvious, it appears to me the blue line on your link graph refers to the Conservative party while the red line refers to the LPC party which you say is the liberal party.
Is this so or am I reading it wrong?
Yegads if so, this is of course diametrically opposite to our political color code.

Spent two months in Quebec in 2017 summer, trois riviere mostly, trump elected inspired.
Did not go to Canada to escape Vietnam era service but an undereducated corrupt obnoxious political punk did the trick.
Long live Mark Carney.
