You can see the full results from the Pembina institute survey of candidates here.

If you’re still trying to figure out your vote, you can check out the party leaders on the eye opener:

Feb. 14th: Brian Mason of the NDP (13:38)
Feb. 12th: George Read of the Green Party (12:25)
Feb. 6th: Kevin Taft of the Liberal Party (12:24)
