So 55.5% for the left/center left
36% for the right/center right
and 7.7% for the Bloc, whatever they identify as these days - labour left/immigration right/etc.

This is just wrong.
Yes, all the other parties are left of the Conservatives, but that doesn't make them left of center. And to those arguing that the Liberals have shifted a bit left of center recently, even if true (debatable), that doesn't mean that all who voted for them have.
There are lots of people who are right of center that vote for the Liberals (especially with a social conservative like Scheer leading the CPC). So categorizing all LPC votes as center or left/center is simply not accurate.
