The thing about Canadian politics is that the opposition starts with a huge lead that is theirs to lose. They do have a massive lead, but they also aren’t running against anyone yet. I fully expect that once there’s an alternative PP’s numbers will drop. Hopefully by a lot.
I’d be pretty okay with a Conservative minority. In fact, it might be ideal. It’d give Poilievre the time to soak the blame without the power necessary to work towards dismantling freedom of speech.
I’m sure the environment would still suffer as a result, but that’d probably happen in any size of Liberal or Conservative government.

No one cares about him.

The spread is already down to 11 points. Hopefully the choices the Liberals and other parties make can narrow this further.

I think it’s a best case scenario. TBH I’d rather never have a majority government so they always need to bargain and deal to make stuff happen.
Heh. This reminds me of another recent election.
We can take him seriously without caring about him.
In this context he was seemingly India’s guy

Then by rhetoric pretty he’s been parroting what Russia has been paying people to put out about Canada.
