Record 7.3 million Canadians voted during advanced polls: Elections Canada
I hope this means what I think it means...

While this is definitely a positive, I worry it's a repeat of what happened in the Ontario election: Likely voters want to get-it-over-and-done-with so they go as soon as practical. In the case of Ontario's election, it was just a shift that a larger percentage of voters went to the Advanced Polls, not that a larger percentage of people voted.

Out of about 28M eligible voters, that’s impressive.

26% of the vote-eligible population in advanced voting. All we need is a 50% turn out on election day and we’ve got the best turnout ever.

I hope this means my laziness in not early voting last weekend pays off and I get a nice quiet room when I slither over midday on election day.

I've been like occupied with the world burning, what's at stake here, I saw it was an extremely close poll some days ago?

Very, very encouraging. I hope this isn't a one-time thing and we'll see at least double this on the actual vote day, and continue seeing such results on subsequent elections.
The more people vote, the more our leaders need to pay attention to our wants and needs, leaving little space for corporate corruption. This is especially for those of us unsatisfied with how our only leaders are all center right to far right and want leaders that actually lean in any direction but right.

Vote anyways. It's so easy and if that's all we can do to participate then it'd be idiotic not to do the bare minimum.

Wow. That's about 43% of the total number of votes cast in 2021.
Hopefully.
But usually, high turnouts are associated with a "throw the bastards out" mentality, which doesn't bode well for the Liberals.
