When does early voting start? Unfortunately my riding is Pierre fucking Poilievre.
Advance polls are 7-10 days before the election (F-M) or you can vote at an Elections Canada office once the election is called if you don't want to wait for the polling stations. If you want to vote by mail there are different rules whether you're here or away.When does early voting start? Unfortunately my riding is Pierre fucking Poilievre.

I know how that feels. I was in his riding previously. Be that defiant vote!
The Ontario election in 2018 has kind of hinted that their is a ceiling in NDP support if they couldn't win against Ford. With the Greens eating their lunch I don't see them coming back until multiple cycles from now. If at all.
This is what I'm praying for.God, I hope Ontario is still angry enough at Ford to block the Cons.
I feel like many green party voters would be shocked to find out the party is not as "left-wing" as they think, that they would be even to the right of the NDP on any issues that does not involve the environment.
I was in his riding too.
Isn't he in danger of losing his seat? Nothing would please me more.
Liberals continue spending frenzy on eve of election call: $2.8B last week
Federal Liberal ministers and MPs continued their cross-country spending announcement tour last week, making 330 spending commitments on everything from fixing up bus stops in London, Ont., to building new dressing rooms at a hockey rink in western P.E.I., to funding a youth exchange program to be run by Tides Canada.
Those 330 spending commitments made from Aug. 19 to Aug. 25 total $2.85 billion.
For the week before that — Aug. 11-18 — Liberal MPs and ministers made 595 spending commitments worth a total of $4.9 billion.
Under Canada's fixed-date elections law, the earliest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could call this fall's election would be Sept. 1 and the latest would be Sept. 15. Once he calls the election, all those spending announcements would stop.

A former co-worker of mine announced she's running for the Conservatives and I'm so disappointed in her. She's an accountant by trade and is big on fiscal conservatism. But to get into bed with Scheer and those freaks leaves a bad taste in the mouth
Since Trudeau reneged on his promise to end FPTP once again Canadians will once again have tovote strategicallymake a big guess to ensure that their local Conservative MP doesn't win. Good luck everyone!
That's paying off quite well for them
Potential to win a majority with fewer votes and <33%
Normally don't go for them but can't take any chances this election, voting Lib.
Careful what you wish for. In Canada 30% is Majority territory depending on how the vote splits. Conservatives can still win without a plurality of the vote and when they eventually do (and it is eventually) you'll be wishing we had an electoral system that doesn't let the Conservatives win a Majority Government with only 30% of the vote.
LetThemFight.gifWell, they're turning on each other now: Ambrose disagrees with Scheer's assertion that Trudeau caved to Trump on NAFTA ()
The fake news facebook types seem to prefer the peoples party from what i've seen. Like the good old days of the Reform party securing Liberal victory.Facebook is mostly responsible for spreading fakenews and hate groups online
Checks off the "Liberals adopt a NDP policy" square on the Election 2019 Bingo Card.
I'm pretty sure my riding is LPC safe. ;)
(My MP is Chrystia Freeland)
With that said, I really dislike the CPC slogan, It comes off as '*k others, be selfish' to me. =|
I'm not going to pretend that what the CPC is doing, following the global trend of embracing right-wing demagoguery, is normal just to be "fair and balanced". I have my issues with the other major parties but they do not compare to the CPC. The only thing I regret in the OP that I might change is the part about the Bloc because, as amusing as the party's current predicament may be, I have zero tolerance for separatist sentiments from the provinces, be it Quebec or the current flames that Kenney is currently stoking in Alberta.Nitpick: Why is the CPC mentioned last when it has the second most MPs elected?
Also, why isn't the CPC slogan accurate? OP is as biased as it comes.
I assume Liberals will get a minority.
Greens are a joke, they need to be ejected from Ottawa.

First, there are the vote considerations most Canadians make combined with top issues and policies. We know that a majority of Canadian voters say they vote primarily for a party's policies and platform (60.2 per cent) followed by party leader (18.6) and lastly the local candidate (12). We know from our past work that the environment has now surpassed the economy as the top issue in this election, but the economy is still a close second.
It's not too surprising then that Liberal and Green fortunes are up on the environmental policies, but why has the NDP not benefited from this trend?
Conservatives have been consistently a close second or slightly leading in most polls, but less than two in 10 Canadians tell us they don't believe climate change is real and man made, so that cannot be the only base of support. Economic anxieties around carbon taxes and the cost of living are driving the rest of the vote, and, despite a strong economy on most measures, we know Canadians are less optimistic about the economy than they were a year ago. Again, the NDP has also addressed the high cost of living and housing affordability issues in their platform, but this isn't increasing their support.
For those voting on party leader primarily, we see Trudeau well ahead but less so than he was a year ago. His brand has no doubt taken a hit from prolonged negative headlines, mostly about the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Scheer has less appeal among those voters, but far better than where he was a year ago, so a strong campaign, including a great debate performance, might be enough to change that trend.
Singh and May are on opposite trend lines in this category: May is ahead of Singh, and increasing, while Singh is fading. This might point to why NDP policies aren't having the same effect. While over 60 per cent told us policies and platform was their most important factor, we know it's not the only factor in determining their vote.
...
Star candidates do matter, and on that front larger parties do better. The NDP, though, is having recruitment difficulties and that factor may be depressing support among these candidate voters.
Those factors alone make for a complicated equation on forecasting outcomes, but other factors play an even larger role in that volatility.
Behavioural science tells us that humans make decisions very quickly, and rarely do choices made involve the rational part of the human brain. With that in mind, I have to assume that all Canadians know right now how they will vote, but more important in determining the outcome is the other important decision Canadians face: Will they vote? Again, our most recent data shows that over a quarter of people who tell us they will vote say they'd back a "none of the above" option if they could. The apathetic vote can be mobilized and what happens during the campaign will be used by Canadians to rationalize those decisions, whether to vote, and for whom.
Beyond motivating their base and organizational capacity that drive voter turnout, there is the distinct possibility of strategic voting. Almost two thirds of Canadians (62 per cent) told us recently that they would consider voting strategically to stop the party they disagree with most. That may be part of what is driving NDP declines and resurging Liberal fortunes, but the Greens and People's Party continue to show pockets of strength that may be the x-factor in determining the outcome on Oct. 21.
Has anyone gotten a text from Conservative Party asking whether they can "count" on you to vote for them?
Anyway, I disliked how SNC Lavalin turned out and there is no excusing it. And yet I must vote Liberal in our current isolationist and tumultuous times.
I remember reading an article from CBC mentioning this popping up in Nova Scotia and the party leader said that it was no paid for by him. So, does anyone know whether we are being lied to or getting fucked by some external power's disinformation campaign?

I wouldn't trust anything Maxime Bernier says on this. Even if we give him the benefit of the doubt, these are his actual thoughts, policies and what he wants. He's pretty clear about that and has been clear for years.

Hi, it's Sarah from the Conservative Party. Can the Conservative Party count on your support in the next federal election? Reply: Yes No
I remember reading an article from CBC mentioning this popping up in Nova Scotia and the party leader said that it was no paid for by him. So, does anyone know whether we are being lied to or getting fucked by some external power's disinformation campaign?
The "official" story right now is that True North Strong and Free Advertising Corp, a third party advertising firm registered back in 2016, did it of their own volition, but the head of the advertising firm is the CEO of a number of mining companies who has done fundraising for Bernier in the past due to his support for their mining plans in Northern Ontario.
They're now holding the stance that they never actually "approved" the billboard and somehow it slipped through, and Bernier, while maintaining he still had nothing to do with it, still supports the sentiment.
So it's very likely a rich mining executive who decided to stoke anti-immigration sentiment in order to shore up support from the politician who's going to help them rape the land for resources, did not expect nearly the amount of blowback they got and are trying to backtrack.
Don't believe any of his campaign's backpedalling.I remember reading an article from CBC mentioning this popping up in Nova Scotia and the party leader said that it was no paid for by him.

The People's Party of Canada did not place the ads, but Bernier said at his national campaign launch Sunday that he agrees with the message.
