A dispatch from the front lines of the new French revolution

Farewell to Quebec

<p>When we created the <a href="https://macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/this-or-that-figure-out-your-vote-with-macleans-policy-face-off-machine/"><em>Maclean&#8217;s</em> Policy Face-off Machine</a> during the dog days of summer, a tool that pits two party policies against each other and forces readers to choose between them, we knew our readers would immerse themselves. But we never thought so many of you would spend so much time parsing party policy. Your four million choices, and counting, prove that ideas matter on the campaign trail. We&#8217;ve tallied the most (and least) popular ideas so far. The interactive below measures the ideas that prevailed most when put to participating readers. Click on bubbles to  <em>Mobile readers should view horizontally for optimal experience</em>.</p>
