Well I don’t know how far to go back or what basics you need to know, but Canada has a parliamentary democracy and most of the power resides in the major city centers in the middle of Canada along the Laurentian corridor. Typically these larger centers vote Liberal, while the provinces west of Manitoba typically vote Conservative, along with northern British Columbia. The maritime switch back and forth between them.
There are two major parties, Cons and Libs, with the NDP and bloc making up the rest. To simplify things, and because most people know of the parties in the US, in relation to the politics there the Liberals have historically been center left, cons center right and the NDP far left. But with Trudeau’s liberals they have moved a lot further left and have basically poached all of the NDP voters while still maintaining their base.
The largest populations are in the center of the country in Ontario and Quebec and they will determine the outcome of the election.
