EKOS Research Associates Inc. is a polling firm founded by Frank Graves. In 1980, he quit his doctoral studies in sociology and founded Ekos Research Associates using $5,000 he borrowed from his father.[1]
A Maclean's analysis found EKOS' polling for the 2019 Canadian federal election did not meet the accuracy standard of the top 5 Canadian polling firms (Forum Research, Mainstreet Research, Nanos Research, Ipsos-Reid, and Léger/Innovative).[2]

The best final polls were conducted by Forum, Mainstreet, Nanos and Ipsos, all within a two-point radius (Liberal and Conservative numbers only). Both Léger and Innovative also did very well with similar numbers just outside of the two-point radius. Once again, if we zoom out from the centre, we notice EKOS and Angus Reid, which both had the Conservative score within less than a point, but underestimated the Liberals significantly (by four and four and a half points, respectively).
