Canada PoliERA |OT| Two Years of Sunny Days? That’s Scheer Madness!

I like her investigative take and how in her full statement makes the point to use lessons from the scandal to improve protections to justice in regards to corporate lobbying. Making it more than just being about Trudeau and evil Liberals.
Also for an election time bonus she took the opportunity and did a good job tactfully showcasing ethics and integrity.
Leger seems to accurately reflect my region too.
Those Atlantic numbers are wild and kind of how I imagined the polls would look when it reached a possible tipping point for voters to start trending in large numbers to the Green. Didn't expect to see it so soon. 2 months before election day.
There's been so much movement in polls, particularly for the Greens, based on basically nothing that I'm very much expecting things to shift back toward the mean once the campaign starts, debates happen, and policies and leaders come under more scrutiny.
Of course I don't live in Atlantic Canada so I can't speak to whether there's some real grassroots movement with any depth.

I am surprised about BC though, the rural-y part of the province usually goes Alberta Junior

it's so weird how Abacus and Leger get such a different numbers inside the provinces
Abacus seems to be WAY OFF when it comes Men / Women columns

This time last year we were at... * checks https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/canadian-election-2015-poll-tracker *
Aug 20 Forum Poll
------------------------------
Conservatives 29%
Liberals 28%
NDP 34%
So yeah I'm gonna hit the snooze button and not paying attention to any polls until at least the writ drops.
Someone got a phone call from Scheer right after it was announced that this was going to court.
I think I also called for a Liberal majority at somewhere around this point (or September) for the last election, but that was on the old forum.
Nanos giving us some crumbs
Has it 35-31 LPC/CPC
Yah, there's a lot of back peddling going around. I heard on the radio today that the sex-ed curriculum was largely the same. All that wasted energy. I think it's too little too late for Ford and the CPC though. People's perceptions are baked in. I'm not sure what's on top of mind in Ontario as a whole, but people are talking more about Doug Ford than political interference by Trudeau. One has a large impact on every day lives of people, the other does not.
Not only that, just yesterday it was all over the news that the ford government would cut health funding and offload it to the cities. I mean, that's where the bulk of the ridings are.
Now everything COULD change by campaign time. Trudeau will face ethics question at the debate and his response may push the dial? Then again, every time Scheer talks, or if Doug Ford gets in the news somehow people just get angry. Sentiments seem to be unpredictable.
Yep all these geniuses who voted for Ford will have their property taxes go up. I hope they call it the "Ford tax increase" on the bill.
Vote split looking to give Libs the edge in Ontario and the majority.
BC voters aren't as entrenched and even with those who are resource supporters any ridiculous anti-environment stuff turns them off. Regulation is important even to most of them.
I laughed yesterday when I saw Rob Ford was on the short list for one of the three new streets created with the construction in Etobicoke. Imagine how often those signs will be stolen/vandalized if that happens. Wonder if drunk driving and smoking crack will be allowed on it.
"We're not as bad as Conservatives" is the LPC motto.
It's as easy as ABC.
I don't get why the Liberals are playing games with the ethics commission right before an election. It's like our shitty version of the Mueller report and Trudeau has his people screaming FAKE NEWS at reporters.
As a child-less fuck, I'm fine with it now. The next species can learn from our mistakes in a few hundred millennia. lol

For the people!!!
I'm wondering what's in those letters they want to hide so badly.
This is nuts. Weren't Trudeau's letters made public immediately?
Oof. This looks bad in 2005, but it looks even worse in 2019. Unbelievable. Also, the comparison with the dog legs/tail...
"How many legs would a dog have if you counted the tail as a leg? The answer is just 4. Just because a tail is called a leg does not make it a leg."

How do you guys feel about Eric Grenier and his poll tracker? His numbers are showing a slight Liberal advantage with them being slightly more favoured at forming government at the moment.
He doesn't support gay marriage today so this isn't surprising.
It's OK, it's better than nothing.
Personally, I feel like certain pollsters are accurate (Nanos,Leger,Mainstreet) and should be included and weighed highly, and certain pollsters (Forum, that new Dart &Maru Blue) should either be outright excluded or weighed very little. Abacus Ipsos are ok as well
Then again im not a statistician so there must be obvious reasons as to why he includes them and the weight he gives them.
I think using one of those seat simulators but plugging in regionals from the more reputable Pollsters would be how I would predict the election.
The Conservative strategy lately is to hide and keep quiet about these things until elected and then spring it on everyone while in power, so they're banking on people being ignorant to the awful stuff they do/say. Any articles that help shine a light on what they actually think and do and bring it to everyone's attention are good to have.
Old Anti Same Sex Marriage floor speech from Andrew Scheer has resurfaced
Video included in link (English)
He spoke those words in the House of Commons, this is who he is
Grenier has been late and behind the ball compared to Maclean's/ Actuslité's http://338canada.com by P.J. Fournier
He's a charlatan that makes stuff up. Just look at the real polls from the actual polling companies.
I can't believe the Ford government is reversing all their policies this week, must be terrified of the polls
They'll just change them again after the election

Oh holy Christ. New documents released about the UCP kamikaze campaign and... it's just a little too much for me to summarize.
I think it's a bit of both. They're trying to help Scheer but they're also looking at their own terrible numbers.
Between this and Kenney stuffing boards with UCP donors, it has been a week for AB politics
This apparently is a riding to watch. Just look at those deltas.
It's been held by Brian Masse since 2002.

The fact that Scheer compared same-sex marriage to an animal tells you all you need to know about him, really. Utter scum; this OT for the election cannot be finished soon enough.
Speaking of good and evil, Singh flatout said he's not going to prop up the CPC if they get a plurality but fall short of a majority so good on em' for that:
gutter_trash must be thrilled.

Andrew Scheer the homophobe. Hopefully that clown and his circus get obliterated at the polls in October.
And yet a majority of people voted for these crooks and charlatans. Hopefully we get Notley round 2 when more people wise up to Kenney's bullshit.

It was interesting. The CBC analyst on The National tonight said that was a big mistake that basically kills the NDP's bargaining power with the Liberals.
But honestly, it's possible to not support either party and to let both governments fall and trigger a snap election. I don't know what that's necessarily a bad thing if you believe in this whole Westminster democracy thing.
There's got to be a way to knock down those 55% pillars in AB/SK/MN.
They most likely won't go Liberals in any large number but maybe another party. Affordability polls high in other places.
UBI?
That's something May's talked about. It can be discussed as a political issue not only as means of support for affordability but to help transition workers to new industries as automation takes over and through resource industry changes. Something that effects all citizens and could provide a base of financial stability to all regions.
I'm not sure about that anymore. Else Windsor west would remain NDP. There's a lot of moving parts in Ontario but the NDP collapse might be more profound than i expected.
I really don't know if he NDP can recover from this for the next 2 cycles. it'll be interesting to see what the final results be at the end of the election.
Singh >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Layton confirmed
Singh just won some respect points from me
