That's the best sign yet, you don't "promote" election fraud if the numbers look good
I fundamentally disagree with the ongoing basis part because it leads to a whole lot of confusion when an asset is underwater, and can lead to hoarding of "loss" assets to lower the overall tax burden.
We already have tax loss harvesting as a strategy for tax rich people; I don't want them gobbling up the rest of the assets out there.
The Conservatives aren't the ones with the "electoral college" advantage in this election.
But there are a lot of toss ups. Voter turn out is also still a concern for me.
Nothing about conservative messaging in the last week implies they think they're winning at the moment.
True, I'm sure they have very convincing internal polls. Why I see them and media trying so hard to split the vote. Which is another concern of mine.
I'm just ultra paranoid after 2016.
From a Senator no less.
I've seen FB posts being promoted of people who got a card but aren't citizens. It was sent to a PO Box lol. Smells like BS.
No evidence otherwise, it smells like bullshit to me but I don't want to link it.

As you should!
But like I said before, I think Canadians are reacting differently than the US to some manipulation tactics. Thankfully.
Another clue the Conservatives don't think they're going to win right now is that in the last few days they've started talking up Singh on TV, which to me implies the "NDP is tanking in certain key ridings" thing is real and the CPC need them to be doing way better.
Her being on Putin's shit list was enough for me, but that's good as well.
Everybody has been talking up Singh. LOL. I mean, he was mediocre at best during the debates. But I haven't really seen him elevate his game. And his policy proposals leave much to be desired.
Oh yah, so proud she's on his shit list.
Yeah that's how I look at it to. So basically for the ultra wealthy class, their return on their publicly traded investments is 4% instead of 5% (grasps pearls).
Art could be included tho I wonder if the returns would pay for the added overhead of the bureaucracy having to chase down the valuations of all that. Maybe?
Freeland for PM!
Yup, that's what I think also.
Singh seems like a good dude but he sort of comes off like he's running for student council.
There's already a system in place to fix this issue (at least in BC). At a certain elderly age you can defer your taxes endlessly. The taxes are then paid by whomever inherits the estate.
Yah, that's my impression as well. He seems the guy who doesn't have that big of an ego that's required to be First Minister. Of course i'd get a selfie with him. But it doesn't mean he'd get my vote. Ripping up USMCA or giving veto power to provinces doesn't strike me as common sense.
Trump is a fucking idiot. I don't think he stands for anything other than pandering to his ego.
I think people here are underestimating how much Singh comes across as more likable than Trudeau and Scheer, especially among young people. His personal brand is quite good right now.
Trump don't seem to know anything about anything. He just do stuff depending on his mood and whim.
Maybe. But to djkimothy point, NDP supporters – especially among young people – are not usually known to go vote in high number...
No one is denying his likeability. Politically he's nothing special. He reminds me of a lot of the anti-establishment NDP supporters I used to know in University. He channels that well. But when you dig down, his policies are absurd.
Someone at work noted there was a research that came out which showed Trudeau actually fulfilled most promises among Canadian PMs. Anyone know if it's true and point me towards the article? Wouldn't mind sharing with friends and even feel good about voting Liberal as it stand I was only gonna do it to prevent Con winning in my riding...i am still pissed about several of Trudeau's broken promises. Tnx in advance.
People have been talking up Singh because... he's been doing really well. In the few weeks of the campaign his popularity has increased 10 points.
At the moment it doesn't look like an Orange Wave is about to sweep the nation, but the upside for the NDP at least is that it seems like Singh has made some gains and positive connections. This probably means that even if, as expected, there's a substantial regression of NDP fortunes in Quebec, there's not going to be a rush to boot Singh from the leadership role.

The NDP needs to keep Singh. He's the best thing the NDP has going right now.
It's from a book.
Trudeau fullfilled 50% to completion, 40% partially. If you combine he gets around 90% promise fulfillment depending on your point of view.
Just to be clear, my post was about Conservative pundits, who do not actually like Singh.
I'd expect common sense from the NDP more than any other party.
It's either naivety or he's just taking up a contrary position to Trudeau just for the sake of it.
Or based on whatever Putin wanted for his B-day this year.
I rather the NDP keep Singh then fall into the stupid trap of replacing him with Bloc-Lite Nationalistes like Caron or Boulerice
There are real chances that Boulerice won't even get elected this year...
He will never win in Quebec, I'm not sure how the NDP ever hopes to win without winning over QC.
He's a good representative of the party.
I would agree that Singh has had a good campaign. Also helped, probably, by still being relatively unknown to low-information voters, who would only be getting a real look at him now.
True, he would need a wave like in 2015. Which is hard to synthesize considering they would have to leave out Quebec AND the pairies. But he could do the work to set the stage for a leader who can. Either way, the NDP will need to figure out how they break through.
you know for a hardcore NDP supporter you sure like to post a lot of conservative tweets
A big NDP breakthrough could maybe be possible after a number of years of Conservatives government, where people would be a lot more inclined to vote to the left.
Right now is just not the right context for the NDP. Not with Trudeau leading the Liberals, who is generally liked and seen as progressive.
From 338 at Maclean's
A 338Canada projection: Have the Tories blown it in Quebec?
From Too close to call :
Considering both Trudeau and Scheer attacked the Bloc today I suppose their internal polling must be showing the same trend. I guess tomorrow they will all attack Blanchet. Will be interesting to see what will happen and the outcome.
EDIT : Also this

My girlfriend received her voter card... and a vote card with someone else's name on it? Any advice on what to do?
If you didn't get your voter information card or if the information on it is wrong, your voter information may not be up to date. Use the Online Voter Registration Service, contact your local Elections Canada office or call us at 1-800-463-6868 to check and update your information.
You must register or update your information before October 15 to get a voter information card in the mail.
For any other errors (e.g. with your name), contact your local Elections Canada office.
You can also register or update your voter information when you go to vote.
Conservative internal polling must be bad if they are still continuing to spread likely false rumours about trudeau in newspapers like the Sun
Spreading rumors about election fraud is even worse, although I've seen PP do that before.
I can see PM Scheer enacting an "Old Stock Canadian Elections Act"
I am not talking about election fraud but something much worse
Thanks for the tip. Next time I post a video of Prime Minister Blackface making an ass of himself I'll make sure it's from a more appropriate source.
I'm not entirely sure what's so hilarious about that clip. He's apologizing to kids who asked a tough question. I thought he handled it moderately well?
Am I missing something here?
Most likely a big pile of nothing, like last time. Let's learn the lesson from a few days ago and stay calm this time. lol!
I'm not worried, I just want the election to be over and for Kinsella to fuck off.
