Elections Canada - Please Read post Number 1

Interesting.... 1st Vette's perplexity answer is actually the most objective, while Murray's tends to lean towards which party is leading in the polls so more likely to win
Yes it is isn’t it. Depends on how you phrase a question as to the results that come back. Much like the results of a poll can be influenced in the same way. Although I think that the current polls are likely pretty accurate when you look at the aggregate. There will usually be one or two outliers for several reasons but overall the average is usually pretty accurate. Sadly this time. Defies logic really.

Your logic. Ontario seems to have a totally different opinion then Alberta and NWT.

One of the unusual things this time around is that support for the Liberals is strongest among those 55 and older . Highest support for the Conservatives is among those 18- 35 . Traditionally the older a voter the more conservative they tend to be in general as well as in voting intentions. So one of the things that defies logic is that support among older voters considering that they are the fastest growing demographic.
I suspect that broader usage of social media over the past 10 or 15 years has contributed to the shift to some degree. Above my pay grade.

As has been traditional with the Liebrals , “ your all screwed and only we can save you “ ….ie . There they go warning us again…
 
C'mon! That's politics 101! Like PP and jugmeat aren't doing the same thing? LOL
I would hope that our next leader, be it Carney or Poilievre will at least not ignore their promises as Justin did for 10 years. To just name a few..... Military spending, Economic recovery, Pharma care, Budget deficit reduction (the Libs really blew that one), and a 25% reduction for Internet and Cell phone charges. Once the Libs were in power they totally ignored their promises. And yes. Maybe Poilievre and the Conservatives would do no better but by voting the Liberals in again is a joke and I'm afraid they will be the ones having the last laugh. If I thought the Liberals had done a good job in power, I would have been the first to change my stripes and support them again. But I have a better memory I guess than most Canadians and am willing to give the PC's a chance to do better..

And Jughead doesn't count. Since he has no chance of getting into power, he should have a list as long as the 401 of promises he won't need to keep. Everyone knows he will never be in power and at least that might fool a few more idiots into voting for him and give him more than 4 or 5 seats.

Kind of makes sense. Younger Canadians really did lose out the last 10 years so could see them wanting a change. Older Canadians have had programs expanded ( even though we are broke) so probably like that and scared of the Trump issue. All I know that debt payments now exceed health outlays to the provinces and certainly are not going down with the crew that ran this country the last 10 years.

Bacchus has suggested I reply at a later date. ;)
 
Unfortunately it's only one province...
Gotta have some straws to clutch at . The election isn’t over until the polls close in western Ontario so …….. :rolleyes: mind you the national polls are also shifting somewhat in the right direction as well. What is really kind of bizarre is the amount of support among seniors. Especially female seniors. Hopefully the male seniors will act differently when making their X as opposed to what they are telling their other half, lol .
