I don't know if these types of posts are allowed here, but does anyone know any websites or something where I can find a summary of different politicians' policies, plans, etc.

Most of the stuff I hear through news and social media focuses on personality (which is definitely an important deciding factor), but I want to see what changes they have planned for the country and stuff like that.

I just recently became a citizen and want to make as informed a decision as I can for my first time ever voting.

Typically parties release policy docs during an election. They're often costed out, and the Parliamentary Budget Officer will take a look at the costing to see if it's legit.

News sites often build comparison tools, like this one.

Politicians typically don't release the platforms before the election, and the expectation is that they may not run on everything they promised before the election.

Thanks, the comparison site looks pretty helpful.

Be aware that the comparison was for a previous election. Platforms will be different this time around. And they probably won't be available until part way through the election.
