Canada

I think it is hard. All their platforms look the same, it’s difficult to find their voting records. Even their promises can’t be trusted.

Here's the key to democratic participation: you have to keep paying attention to politics. Even if voting records were easy to find, it's SUPER hard to form an opinion because you'd need to recover all the context and discussions during the voting times. Sometimes good politicians will vote against decent laws due to practicalities that you'll miss if you just glance at a table.

So it is hard to filter for candidates who "do good for regular Canadians", not because it's hard to find information, but because most people are trying to cram the elections, and you really can't. If you're not willing to spend that energy keeping up with politics, find someone you trust that do and just ask that person for a detailed opinion.
