Worst part is that the Conservatives are doing the same thing.
Both are 100% following the populist playbook.
I can't speak for all of Nova Scotia, but I don't really get the feeling there's a heavy anti-immigration sentiment out here. If someone willingly wants to come to Nova Scotia and live here, ESPECIALLY if they're willing to live and/or work outside of the HRM, I don't think we're really in a position to turn them down.
Can you imagine a Halifax without the Greek immigrants, who have forever doomed us to our fixations with donairs?

This is the hard truth. Quoting for others to see.
I think Trudeau knew that changing FPTP would negatively affect the next election because of how many conservatives there are out west, because right now it looks like the current system is working in his favour.
Given that 30 percent are dead set on being Conservative, and let's be generous and say that 10 percent of Liberals are Blue Liberals that would rather not vote than to vote NDP (exactly what happened in Ontario), that's still a big chunk of the country that is naturally to the right of center.
To be fair it was pretty stupid to send a Minister to the United States to tell Haitians to stop coming and that Canada is actually closed to them. But it's just another one of those things where the Liberals get to say something for the soundbite and then have policies that do the opposite.
He has a legit shot at losing his seat at this point if you look at some federal polls in ontario.
Also I predict a small liberal majority because they win around half of the seats required to form a majority in Ontario, do okay in Atlantic Canada and BC and do well in Quebec. PP and Raitt will probably lose their seats on election night. The CPC never recovers in Ontario and they lose that province by about 10 points.

He should also send a thank you note to Kawhi Leonard for bringing a championship to Toronto and allowing the rest of the country to hear everyone boo the shit out of Ford during the parade.
Parties can come to similar policies, but it doesn't mean they were copied. NDP think they are the only ones who can think forward. Hell, the libs haven't even released their plan. If it's better/worse the NDP still going to claim they stole it?
Been living abroad for more than four years but I just put in the online application to vote early. Not that it matters — London Middlesex will go PC as it always does.
Still, matter of principle. Throwing it to the Libs. Haven't had confidence in the NDP since Layton died.

I'm so glad that NDP is dropping in general in this go-around. Not because I dislike them (though I'm not a huge fan), but more because of how pivotal this election is, we really can't afford any split voting. Need as many to go to the Liberals as possible so fucking Justin can do whatever he does and hopefully cons get their shit together before the next one.
you never know, my riding has been conservative for most of my life I believe, and just went red last election.
not really, nobody there in in 2011 voted for the party, the voted for Jack Layton the man .
The NDP does not have a base there and they are about to lose almost all their MPs their except for 1 or 2
Yeah, IIRC some of the NDP winners in 2011 were "filler" candidates that didn't actually expect to have a chance in their region.
Maybe. But in 2018 the cons had 20% over the runner up (NDP) in my riding. Same the election before that. No matter what the results, my vote will be nearly worthless. Just doing it because it's easy to vote from abroad.
Well the Liberals take progressive ideas and use them as PR pieces rather than policy pieces so I guess that's how we end up losing.
That is to say, I expect a cap on mobile plans to come around the same time as universal pharmacare.
The main thing to note here isn't the NDP being butthurt about their idea being 'stolen'* but rather the significance of a part of the NDP platform being coopted and a point of differentiation between the NDP and the Liberals going away. We saw some of this in 2015 but I wouldn't be surprised to see even more of it this election as the Liberals shift left to really push the NDP out.
If the Liberal Pharmacare plan ends up being the same universal plan that the NDP has, then the NDP is really cooked because then there's no differentiation at all. At that point the only thing the NDP would have to campaign on is the fear that the Liberals are being disingenuous, which is a pretty weak platform to stand on.
* Ideas are cheap if not worthless, it's the implementation that matters
On the topic of the NDP, is this their first ad?
I always thought of liberal lost lots of seat it would be atlantic canada. I wonder though...
Also, breakdowns.
PEI needs to get with the program.

Wow the Green party is jumping over NDP. I also won't be surprised if the next New Brunswick Government is Green. It's been trending here for sometime.
I listened to a radio interview witch new CPC star candidate, Sylvie Fréchette, and I almost had to turn if off because of second-hand embarrassment. She's about on Trump-level of ignorance on any political issues but has not talent for BS, so she got angry and hung up.
I have no idea why a public figure who's well liked and has a good reputation would sacrifice that for a political campaign that is deemed to fail (her riding would be very hard to win as a conservative). She seems to be completely out of her depth (ha!).

Yep. She doesn't seem to have any political convictions aside from platitudes like "things have to change" and "stop corruption". So far, she sounds like the run of the mill suburban mom who doesn't care about politics and while she catches a glimpse of the news while preparing dinner, she doesn't really have any idea of what's going on. Nothing wrong with that, but why are you getting into politics exactly?
Very weird candidacy. I wouldn't be surprised if she drops off after a few weeks.
IIRC, PEI's Green Party expanded their platform recently to not be so single issue, adopting many NDP planks and it helped them significantly in the election. Wouldn't be surprised if the other provinces took notice of that.
I am voting Liberal, but I feel this time around it is going to be a toss up minority government either Liberal or Conservative. Hopefully I am wrong and the Liberals maintain a majority.

Fairly obvious she has no idea what she got herself into. I don't think she understands the political parties well either. She's going to lose anyway. CON seats in QC are much closer to Québec than her riding. She's going to obviously make some big gaffes because she's one of the few ON noteworthy candidates in the province and she's definitely not politically smart.
Scheer flipflop around abortion and LGBT right is truly disgusting. Either you support people 100% or you don't. Don't try to hypocritically play both sides because you want to appeal the insane religious warriors that made you won the leadership.
Some of the current projections websites have pretty bizarre scenarios right now. Such as
On a statistical tie for voting percentage one party can still get + 48 seats?? Hopefully it's junk statistic because otherwise the system is fairly broken. On the bright side it might push us closer to the end of FPTP.
The more fun statistic is going to be the Greens. Getting the same percentage or more than the NDP, but winning considerably less seats.
GASP!
Maybe Trudeau dropping Electoral Reform was a long-con ruse to get the Conservatives to start bitching about our Electoral System as well, that way he could claim "All Party Support" and push through reform without a referendum!
Can't wait. Election time is always so much fun...
I'm already walking past a CPC ad, and a couple months ago it was a "Send Trudeau a message" ad saying not to re-elect Ralph Goodale.

I'm in the same sentiment. And I have a feeling a lot of people at work are the same (federal sector).
Honestly, how can you throw your vote to someone who said in 2005 that people who can't have children can't be married. He hasn't even addressed whether or not he still believes what he said.
I hope he gets asked about this in every interview he gives.
Yah, it's so dehumanizing. So much reckless hate from conservatives.
Oh I don't know I see a resemblance.
Scheer has a perfect pro-life voting record as well.
Still haven't decided which ABC party I should vote for, NDP has the best chance in my riding (which is a conservative stronghold) but I think I like the Green Party better overall.
wow, first time I see that. I don't know how people could think like that
