Working for the common good is such a foreign concept, Skippy has to put out a survey to see what contrarian haters want him to harp on about instead of Canada Is Broken.
Probably questions like, What is the most Canadian thing to do about Trump?
a) Trudeau is a woke dictator who hates your freedom
b) the oil and gas lobby are cool and nice
c) humanizing picture with a kitten and my wifePeople are celebrating too early. The gap has closed, but pp is still in the lead with most polls and the gap has not been close for very long.
Little Peepee's only shot was to get his election before the theory of a Trump presidency became the reality of a Trump presidency.
Now that that's not possible and every bit of that orange shit-stains bullshit is reflecting on him, not only has he gone relatively silent, but most of the Maple MAGA fuckwits have shut up as well.
With every day that Conservatives are kept wallowing in their reflection of the U.S. Republican party, they're chances of a majority government fall further and further down. I'm cautiously optimistic that even if it's too late to come back or too large a lead for the Liberals to make up, that at least we'll fall into Minority Government range where Peepee won't be able to get the worst of his agenda accomplished.
the reality of a Trump presidency.
Having the Nazi salute guy supporting you isn't a great look either.
I think it's a bit optimistic in general to think that it's a near sure thing. The lead isn't big, and all it takes is someone doing something big for things to change on the spot, and if that happens less than a month before the polls open, it could swing things drastically. It might not seem likely, but it's not like it hasn't happened before.
Instead, it's better to focus on what PP is screwing up while showing how alternatives are more beneficial to those who would instinctively vote for him regardless of what drivel is coming out of his mouth because they hate anybody else more than they hate him.
America: Uniting the world by becoming the common enemy everyone else unites to fight.
And, since they're being led by an idiot who surrounds himself with idiots, we might actually win.
Maybe try a position of standing for something instead of empty slogans that everything is awful here.
Pollievre barely stood for Canada the last few weeks and spent all his time politicking instead of standing united to the biggest threat to Canada in generations.
Whatever the new slogan is going to be ... it'll be about hating someone or hating a group of people
Maybe if he had an actual platform and an actual plan that's not based entirely on undoing what Trudeau did...
God, I hope he is actually in trouble. I saw that Nanos still has Cons in a massive lead with them at 42, Libs at 26, and NDP at 17 (I'm assuming the other 15 are Bloc/Green). Praying that it's outdated data and that once the Libs have a new leader the gap will get closer.
I cannot imagine the state of Canada if we have PP and Trump at the same time.
The polls are all starting to show the Liberals gaining on the Conservatives, they're just showing the trend starting at different times. Ipsos, Nanos, and the others are even showing the rate of change being similar to the EKOS polls (the most recent of which have the Libs and Cons in a statistical tie), just starting several weeks later.
There's enough runway to make this interesring, and enough Trump to keep the trends going.
I recently read an article where Conservative strategists, speaking anonymously, worried that Poilievre won't be able to find another message fast enough before the election. If they're telling that kind of thing to the press then they've got to be worried.
They can say whatever they want to the press, I'm not getting my hopes up until we have an ABC government warming the seats of parliament during the throne speech. I'm a US-Can dual citizen so I've already faced one heartbreaking election. I'm not willing to let both my countries slip to fascists.
Plus, with the foreign interference probe + PP refusing to get security clearance, I don't doubt the Conservatives have some dirty tricks left in their bag.
Libs, NDP and Green just need to unify for this election cycle. It's a strategic move they have to make. Can they do that, run as a single ballot?
It will never happen. The NDP and the Liberals are just not allies, and will not get out of each others way, no matter how much anyone else would like them to.
You mean a coalition government?
Or you mean unifying on the ballot? Because I fundamentally disagree with that, I do not want a 2 party system like we have in the states.
Keep an eye on smartvoting.ca for information on vote splitting in your riding and how to prevent it. They already have it up and running for the Ontario election, with the Federal info coming soon (assuming as soon as the elections are announced).
