Elections For Canadians (and sure, Americans and others can chime in): Is this a good reason to vote Liberal in the upcoming Canada election?

Ouch, things just keep getting worse for poor PP

Pierre Poilievre in a horse race in Carleton as gap with Liberal candidate tightens​

Long considered a safe Conservative seat, Pierre Poilievre’s long-held riding of Carleton has turned into a horse race in the final days of the federal election campaign.
A source with the federal Liberal campaign who is not authorized to speak on the record, confirmed that the party’s internal projections and polling numbers show the gap between Poilievre and Liberal challenger Bruce Fanjoy has shrunk dramatically in recent days — from 10 points to five points

With a margin of error, he said, a five-point gap “is bringing us really close” and creates a situation where things like getting out the vote become absolutely essential.
He said it appears the Conservative party has been moving resources from other ridings, including those in Ottawa, where they are not expected to win, to shore up the vote for Poilievre in Carleton.
“My understanding is they are basically panicking and putting all of their resources into Carleton because they are afraid to lose it,” the source said.
Conservative sources have told both the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail that they are pouring resources into Carleton because Poilievre is at risk of losing the riding he has held since 2004.

I can’t see him losing the riding. But conservatives need a new leader if he cant
Pull this off.

I think 91. That’s still ridiculous. I’m for freedom of participation,
But there really should be some more stringent rules around getting names on a ballot. Maybe there is, I don’t know. But it has been used before in different elections.

If you want more indians then yes

I agree with your assessment of Harper. He's a fucking traitor. When Trump forced renegotiating NAFTA during his first term, Harper was in the US badmouthing the Canadian team. He can fuck right off back to the US and stay there.


Listen, bitch tits. You didn't present any facts. The sources you quoted don't present any facts. You mewled about LIBZ BAD and spewed ad hominem like you are doing in this post, and didn't even understand what your sources were saying. LOL @ "if I want to have a rational discussion". Do I have to remind you again of what started this idiotic exchange, retard?

You don't sound very confident.

Still waiting for any liberal here to back Carney on his cut spending , cut taxes on the wealthy while also claiming to massively increase military and infrastructure spending plan

Any of you red lefts support tax cuts for the rich and cut annual government spending from 9 to 2%?

How about if any of them can explain ending the carbon tax. I thought it was necessary because of global warming. Is global warming over? Why is the carbon tax not necessary any more?

None of them can explain it.

Let’s see if they look at it after this election.

Even worse is trying to explain to them they the Carbon tax is only paused, not removed. The frame work to increase will always be there unless repealed. Secondly only the consumer tax was lowered while the industrial side remains in place and will be increased. This was much more heavily responsible for price increases than the consumer tax was.

Liberals falling for fake news yet again, as has been the story of this entire campaign.

Mark Carney has a better chance of losing in his riding than Pierre does yet there isn't any stories about that now is there.

Lol that's not even close to true

Poilievre:


Carney:



You people literally just say whatever bullshit pops into your head and pretend it's true.

Damn, thank you Trump for shifting the vast .majority of voters to the center right

Can Canada’s Left Survive Trump’s Second Term?

The NDP helped build Canada’s welfare state. Now, under pressure from Donald Trump’s tariffs and a shifting political terrain, the party risks electoral annihilation as voters split between technocratic centrism and right-wing populism....


Win!!!

They didn't end it. We haven't had a parliamentary session since 2024. They reduced the consumer side but it's still a law and it will be increased when / if carney wins majority.

Pierre still running from media questions he can’t answer. A page right outta maga. If you avoid the tough questions, you don’t have to answer them!

Hmmm

Carney says he’s best person to stand up to Trump, won’t give more details on 51st state conversation

Liberal Leader Mark Carney declined to elaborate on his conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, a day after a key omission came to light.

The riding underwent a redistribution in 2022 so some support change was expected, but to lose the riding? Yikes

Grasping at plastic straws

So avoiding question on details with the Trump call, quebec separatism and whether or not he would consider a coalition with the Bloc are plastic straw issues to you

Got it

This is the one issue Carney is sidestepping. Pierre has been avoiding the media all campaign long.
