I watched a CBC story about this project and it seems pretty interesting. It was put together by a group of Toronto Masters students (IIRC) and they modeled it after a similar thing in the Netherlands.
I didn't find the questions too misleading, but I guess I wasn't looking for tricks. I was more just trying to answer honestly. If I got a party that I otherwise wouldn't consider then I would've either (A) re-examined my position or (B) used the tools at the end of the survey to filter out the issues that I care about, etc.
Good on CBC for putting this out though. Its had a lot of users and seems to be fairly neutral as far as I can tell.
