This is key. Internal polling showing CPC softness in 905.
It's not about just any pipelines, it's about pipelines that benefit China, which Energy East Isn't to my understanding.
Trudeau cancelled Northern Gateway and banned tankers from northern BC coast so that should have cost Canada a big chunk of $$.
Just look at any energy projects and see if China is involved and if the answer is yes then you know why it's going forward.
Looking forward to Scheer's little troll smirk getting wiped off his face tomorrow and the collective shriek of conservative morons ringing out through the internet as we continue to move forward as a country.
Despite Ottawa's widespread efforts to prevent online disinformation from distorting the election campaign, a website based in Buffalo, New York, has been freely posting viral stories about Canadian politicians that have no apparent basis in fact — and there's nothing the Canadian government can do to stop it.
Since the beginning of the year, the Buffalo Chronicle has published unsigned articles based on unnamed sources that allege backroom dealings at the highest levels of the Canadian government. Several of the stories have been deemed false or unsupported by news organizations, including the Agence France-Presse, which was contracted by Facebook to debunk fake news.
The website is run by Matthew Ricchiazzi, 33, an Ivy League graduate who has sought office in several New York state elections but never got his name on the ballot.
A BuzzFeed News–Toronto Star investigation has confirmed that Ricchiazzi once offered to publish positive or negative coverage of political candidates for a fee. He also placed ads on his website for individuals and businesses that had never heard of him.
Ricchiazzi would not agree to an interview before next week's election. However, in a reply to emailed questions, he wrote: "We report in good faith and would never knowingly publish a falsehood. We are confident in all of our reporting to date, and believe it reflects a fair articulation of information obtained from confidential sources."
Among the apparently uncorroborated stories published by the Buffalo Chronicle is one alleging former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci "insisted" that former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould be kicked out of the cabinet. Another claims the former CEO of SNC-Lavalin and his wife fled Canada to avoid being arrested on bribery charges.
The website found real success with its report earlier this month that Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau paid more than $2 million to suppress a report about sexual misconduct. Despite being debunked by the Star, Snopes, and the Agence France-Presse, that story and its follow-up generated close to 100,000 shares, likes, and reactions on Facebook.
While the Buffalo Chronicle has been publishing stories about politics in western New York since 2014, a shift to sensational Canadian content earlier this year has brought Ricchiazzi success on social media. Eight of the Buffalo Chronicle's 10 most popular articles on Facebook are about Canadian subjects and were published in the last eight months. Collectively, they were liked, commented on, and shared on Facebook more than 200,000 times by accounts with a total of 4.4 million fans.
Facebook has refused to take down the Buffalo Chronicle posts. "Misinformation as a whole does not violate our community standards," a Facebook spokesperson said. "We don't have a rule that says that everything you post needs to be true."
This week, Ricchiazzi and the Buffalo Chronicle have had their Twitter accounts suspended. However, the posts remain online.

My impression is that Frank Graves and Evan Scrimshaw (leantossup) are relatively bullish about Liberal's majority chances.
Quito Maggi and Robert Martin are less so but still insist on a very strong majority ~160 seats of so.
The rest are all "really close" or "slight Liberal plurality"
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
While I'd greatly prefer a Liberal majority over a Conservative minority, I don't want to see another Liberal majority.
I don't want the Liberals rewarded with yet another majority after Trudeau broke his promise on electoral reform, and his handling of the SNC Lavalin debacle.
I would LOVE to see a Liberal minority where they are forced to work with the NDP! Historically, whenever the Liberals are forced to work with the NDP great things have happened.

They're going to be disappointed to learn that Trump isn't as anti-CCP as he appears.
That's why they want post secondary education to be as hard as possible to get.
Keep 'em poor, keep 'em dumb, keep 'em voting conservative.
The poor will never learn. How many more times do Conservative governments - at all levels - need to fuck them over before they change their thinking?
He said it is probably just due to a smaller sample size, still thinks the Liberals are in the 40s
BQ being so low also has me a bit nervous about his numbers
it's so sad that PKP QMI Media has brainwashed Quebec into voting for the Bloc spoiling the chance of a Liberal Majority
I have already boycotted all PKP owned Videotron, Quebecor, TVA products, and I feel justified in my consumer boycott
it's as if they deserve to wallow in their own misery for their poor electoral choices
voting for CPC and Bloc is so conter-productive for the working class voter
So long as a number of them buy into blaming minorities for their problems, I guess
they took er jerbs
*I had to edit post because I forgot that the South Park episode of " took our jobs" had NSFW imagery
Right wing messaging makes people vote emotionally not rationally.
Invoking anger, fear etc.
It's gonna be a bloodbath in New Brunswick. I think The North is gonna Stay Liberal but the south will be mixed with conservatives and liberals. Southern New Brunswick always fucks up when re-electing a liberal government because the conservative kool aid is too sweet to drink. I'll give an example.
The Fundy Conservative promised new jobs for a potash mine since Harper was in power, he did nothing for that area and is a backbencher and it looks it's headed back to conservative after 4 years of liberals.
Biggest Hypocrite in New Brunswick Federal politics.
When there are no more brown or non-white people they can put down.
The poor voting against themselves is such a vicious cycle. Born into poverty > lower education > less opportunities for jobs > "they took our jobs" > the CPC will kick out all the immigrants!!!!!
People with lower education also tend to have children earlier, and therefore pass on the same cycle. It's just shitty.

Don't get comfortable reading any polls that suggest your party is going to win.
Fucking vote.
Fucking vote.
I took a good brake from this thread and it was for the best.
At the very least it ends tomorrow. One of the most awful campaign I had to watch. Trudeau and Scheer weren't very interesting to see and it seems they both failed badly in their own way. It definitely won't end well for one of them tomorrow considering each one of them couldn't beat a weakened opponent. The fact both seems to be constantly polling at 30% no matter what isn't reassuring for what's ahead for us. May completely blew it considering how climate change became a hot topic and she couldn't get anything from it.
No matter what happens this country will be in trouble for the long run I feel. Prairies won't tolerate their oil being landlocked for long and all current possibilities won't help their case as a liberal minority or majority will not really push for more pipeline and a conservative minority won't survive a throne speech if he tries to push his program on the NDP.
This election also showed that some province are definitely more important and catered too than the rest which propably won't help for the overall mood after this underwhelming campaign.
Will be interesting to see how accurate the polls and projections were. They all failed pretty badly for the QC provincial election. Only Quito Maggi got it right for that one.

Gonna be an exciting Monday night watching the results come in if there's the tiny potential for another Lib Majority. I'll be hoping for a minority. It's served well in BC these last two years.
Trudeau had two shit weeks
Blackface week was a total disaster week, probably cost allot of youth voters.
Consortium Debate Week was his absolute worst, he didn't know how to take advantage of the short answer format of the debate and allowed Singh to Out-Trudeau Trudeau.
That said, this Liberal Minority Win will feel like getting 2 points in an NHL OT shootout.

CPC voters are also NDP voters in BC
back in forth between the two
does it make sense? No
just like Obama voters voting for Trump, makes no sense but it's what it is
Makes me so sad when I see this type of tactics threatening the Canadian democracy (and the world as a whole).
Never been so anxious with elections as this time.
338 has Laurier-Ste-Marie back to TossUp Liberal by a sliver
did Mainstreet get more detailed data per riding in their last polling for the subscribers?
Morrigan I hope our riding goes Liberal, I just want to be represented for once, LOL

For all the shit talk about electoral reform a Liberal minority would be practically the same result as would have been guaranteed under PR. The details of who specifically got elected might vary, but with party lines so very strong in Canada it doesn't seem like a material difference.
uh
it would make a huge difference
conservatives would never likely be able to shape policy under MMPR
why? because even if they win an election, 66% of the chamber would be left wing
it'd be like rob ford in toronto, they try shit and the adults slap him around
Pollsters seem to have issues with QC once again. Forum has Bloc at 36,7%, Léger at 32%. Mainsteet at 33,7% and Ekos at 22%.
I would be surprised if they get that much considering they have no money and no team to push out their votes compared to the LPC and CPC (yet the NDP managed to do it once so who knows).

how would PR work pertaining to Provinces?
I think that in Federal system that empowers Provinces too much that PR results per Provinces would also be weight in a shitty Proportional Electoral College

Bloc is the agent of Chaos this year , we will only find out who was right by the end of tomorrow night or Tuesday morning
The Liberals were not perfect. But in my opinion, the concrete actions of the government during the last four years in many areas like environment policies/investments, foreign affairs, and internal affairs resulted in a huge net positive for the country. Considering this, I wouldn't mind another Liberal majority.
CPC would team up with the Greens(two right wing parties). Those two would probably combine for more than 50%, add PPC and CNP too.
Both parties also hired Kinsella, not so different in the end after all.
I'm not sure where that tweet saying the Bloc was in the lead got its data from. It was quoting Mainstreet but I couldn't find a primary source. If the LPC is in the lead again, that's hopeful but.. TBH I am not sure of anything for Laurier and don't take anything for granted. It's possible that the NDP gained back a few votes that could have gone to the Bloc (young Quebeckers who don't like the Libs much), maybe? I still don't think the NDP will take it, but who knows, 2011 shocked everyone after all so maybe all the polls showing NDP in the teens were completely inaccurate...
Whatever. I'll vote LPC and hope my SO does the same. lol.
