It seems like there's a Chretien-Martin type feud within the party still.
It wouldn't surprise me if Trudeau is too progressive for some people.
I guess the former AG(recommended by Paul Martin) is one of them.
Can Kinsella's BS finally catch up to him?

That's what I want to know. Was Kinsella still getting paid? And even if he wasn't, does that matter? It's a terrible breach of journalistic ethics.
Probably.
If you were hired to smear the PPC you'd do it in a place like the Sun as that's the audience you want to reach so you don't want to split the vote.
"
And journalistic ethics and Kinsella are like oil and water.
Was he getting paid to smear Trudeau throughout all his rumors is a bit more interesting. Like the GPC?
I would vote Liberal if I was in that riding, pretty soured on JWR over the past year.
Liberals have the best chance at forming government but it is still a pretty close race. It is very unlikely that any party gets enough seats for a majority.
338canada.com is a pretty good site to get an idea of things if you want more info.
I feel kind of proud that kinsella used to follow me on Twitter until I called him out for the hipocracy of supporting scheer but denouncing open racists like Goldy. Dude called me a "stupid bitch" and blocked me. Feather in my cap.
Based on opinion polls, Liberals are expected to win. If they win with less than 170 seats, they will need a help from another party to form a minority government.

My friend, @NickKouvalis has been a good natured Twitter frienemy during #elxn43 and he takes a lot of abuse on here from many people
Can't ever question his intelligence and passion, we disagree on a lot, but we agree on a lot more

No, it really hasn't and Canada has been getting more progressive and liberal as time goes on. Literally don't have to look any further than three major parties and nearly 60% - 70% of the electorate votes for a left wing party. I mean, you can shift the posts all you want but that doesn't change what the polls have shown and even show right now.
As I said, we have our own issues. Parliamentary systems have inherent flaws and that does play into how things work. The biggest one off the type of head is honestly the separatism poison. It's alienated Quebec and ultimately stifled progress there and that effects Canada Again, fuck the Bloc.
And your assumption that the Liberal party would want to suppress the further left from the party is also unsubstantiated. By design, the merger of the parties would almost require the party to shift left even further to retain those NDP and Green voters or else they risk another party forming and just going back to the way it was before, which would be what they don't want. I don't disagree that the Provincial NDP have been moving closer to the center than ever before, but that's all literally because the top two parties federally are mainly center left or right parties and that skews everyone towards the centre. The idea is to shift away from the center and keeping the status quo right now isn't going to do that. If the general electorate begins to shift to the left because of the merger of the three major left federal parties, the NDP provincially won't have to hew closer to the center than they are now.
I disagree about how you insist how elections will turn into the U.S just because we have two major parties. You can be damn sure that there are people who don't bother voting in these current elections because they are maybe, say, Green Party supporters who ultimately believe that their vote is not going to "matter" because they are in a riding contested by the Cons and the Liberals? But you're right. It's a utopian dream, so don't bother.
It isn't that simple though. You think that Conservatives are just boomers? That's cute. Believe it or not, Conservatives are more than just boomers. Shocker, I know. If you want to just wait until the boomers die off, you'll be in a rude awakening when you see that is makes no difference and we're still stuck in the same rut of us hoping a Conservative party that holds like 35% of the voting continues to win elections because of the vote split.

Kinsella being hired by the CPC to destroy Bernier is headlining the news of Radio-Canada this morning:
LOL that's fantastic. I forgot he existed until this election.
What a hack.
Someone just asked Scheer this and he handwaived it. He definitely had a hand in this.
Scheer in North York.

Scheer says he rejections the notion that Quebec is a "special child" in response to something the PC Premier of NB said yesterday.
Scheer is asked why he can't be transparent about who he hires (in relation to the dirt digging story) - says they don't talk about that sort of thing.

CBC News Alerts @CBCAlertsConservative Leader Andrew Scheer campaigning today in Greater Toronto Area. WATCH LIVE: http://cbc.ca/1.5327581

Katie Simpson @CBCKatieScheer is asked about the Warren Kinsella story - and whether the party hired him to do the party's dirty work attacking PPC and or liberals. Scheer says they never discuss who the party may or may not hire. Sticks to the line which the war room sent out yesterday.

Scheer again is pressed about who he hired? Scheer says when it relates to party contracts they don't comment. Gets grilled on it. Won't answer.

Yeah I read through that whole thing for some reason. The whole feeling I get from this "free the press canada" site is not legitimate. Seems like a place that wants to be relevant so the piece comes off a bit hysterical and overblown. Yes, obviously there are tons of places manufacturing misinformation (Scheer's doing it himself) so I don't see what's so special about this Buffalo Chronicle place.
This gets a resounding 'meh' from me.
Canadian Politics Twitter is certainly enjoying treating Warren Kinsella as a piñata today. Lots of bad blood there.
All the Post papers published their endorsements today, guess who they think would be best for Canada?
Conservative filth
Aren't these all the newspapers once owned by Conrad Blackl?
Did anyone try and pull the Conservative Party but not Andrew Scheer like with Harper? Lol
In the same way that there are Democrats that will vote Republican or simply not vote if faced with a choice between Trump and Bernie/Warren, there are Canadians who feel the same way. You can't just add up the numbers and assume the left is some cohesive unit.
Good way to make money would be to play Scheer in a high stakes poker game.
But Obama is election interference!!

Pretty safe to say that all parties will ignore the arctic and underfund the military. 100% has not been an issue at all in this election.
Yup, that right wing push just keeps on chugging along further to the right.
Liberals are the most Anti-Russia, so Liberals are the strongest on Arctic-Souvernty
Foreign Affairs Minister Freeland is one tough cookie
I heard that LSM is closer then the mainstreet poll because the NDP is doing better than the mainstreet poll according to internal ndp data.
