Trudeau is a Sorcerer?
Dang what is wrong with the Left... Vampires and Sorcerers all over the place
Having a sorcerer in your party is always useful. I wonder what level he is?

The souvernist movement is asleep on neutral.
Souvernists on the Left, Progressives ask themselves if its worth it having 4 more years of Harper and are ready to vote reluctantly ABC for a Federalist party just to stop Harper.
Right Wing souvetnists however, they would gladly vote Bloc or Conservative.

What world are conservative talking heads living in. Everything he just wrote here, is exactly what Harper is doing, and it's like he does not see it.
It will drop a cent on tuesday and gain it back by the end of the week.
It's not like Trudeau promised a moratorium on oil extraction.

Just thought we'd all enjoy a good laugh.
NDP is going back up in the recent Ekos poll in Quebec while the Liberals have around a 5 point lead over the conservatives.

The NDP are also at 2% in Manitoba according to this poll.

The article I linked referenced actual market dynamics (i.e., what investors are thinking/acting upon). Your article is based on circumstancial evidence at best.
Blame the price of oil, not Harper. It's like saying that the Liberals under Chretien/Martin were awesome, when they were just riding the wave. Same thing for Clinton in the US.

Pretty much perfect timing for this to come up.

Those Ekos numbers are interesting...but I don't believe them. Or at least they are maxing out their margins of error. Those swings in QC and BC are massive, and the NDP is at 1.5% in MB? I know they've lost popularity there based on their provincial government...but that's too low.
It's not like he will still be around after Oct 19th. This just hurts him even more in his riding probably.

Irony of the day,
Harper claims that Trudeau will open the fludd gates of drugs onto our streets. ...
... does photo-ops with Rob Ford on same day

I will not be satisfied until the CPC is below 20% in the polls and the NDP takes second place
which means that I likely will not be satisfied

Very small sample size. Maybe they only called rural Manitoba.

Tell him that Latin American immigrants need to be vetted in case they're drug dealers or cartel terrorists, see how he likes that shitty unfounded generalization, heh.
Wow, those are crazy numbers. How the hell do people think 1 in 5 Canadians is Muslim? Damn.There's a very widespread misconception that muslims are somehow "invading" Canada. People think they represent 20% of the population, when it's in fact... 2%. This ignorance makes it even easier for politicians to manipulate people and make them fear a threat that doesn't exist...
Because nothing makes someone more relatable to the middle class than "lobbyist"... fucking LOL

otoh, the preceding QC swing might've been the outlying bit and this is just a correction, particularly if Nanos et al vibe well with the Quebec result here
gonna need to wait until Tuesday to know for sure
That's what happens when your entire economic plan relies on oil.
Fairmont Pacific Rim is a bit much. The Westin Bayshore would've been less than half the price and just as prestigious.
Biz class upgrades, however, I don't have any issue with.

I like Ksharp, he decided to go with Pepsi instead of Coke and is sticking with Pepsi.
Reminds me on my decision to stick with Coke.
Coke wins on Monday night

Orange Crush use to be popular now nobody cares
I get what they're going for with most of that, but I have no idea why they think it's a winning comparison to call Harper a "political aide" and "lobbyist". "Drama teacher" and "rafting instructor" are both way more likely to generate positive associations in people's minds.

That would be a "syicky" situation
I'm supposed to be impressed by Harper's "car" being an '02 Malibu when he hasn't had to sit in the driver's seat of a car since 2005?

Regionalism is unavoidable, because once a people feel that no federalist option is viable, they will rally behind a local party. That's how the NDP started after all, and we're seeing the UK go through it with Scotland and the SNP.
Australia's right wing Coalition is made up of three regionalist right wing parties and the broader Liberal party that represents federalist interests. Strong regionalism can work well in a federalist context.
Hell, in the US, the only reason manufacturers try to have clean cars is because they need to meet California's high emission standards and they can't afford to not sell cars in that State.
No clue my little nephew happen to be singing it last week and it popped back in my head with the soft drink referencesEither I'm too old or too young, but I have no idea what this is supposed to parody
On topic, liberals are really pressing hard in my riding with many meet and greets. I want to choose then but my riding is so strongly aligned with NDP now but was previously BQ that I am afraid to splinter the vote that could bring the BQ back

Young Conservatives don't make sense to me unless they are social conservatives. But how can that even be possible at York of all places?
Seeing as they go to York I would wager they don't actually know how or why communism failed. So to them it's just buzzwords. Empty white noise.

Is it just rich people who hate the poors? I guess you guys have that business school so I can see York being full of future MBAs ready to start the next subprime mortgage scheme and they would hate more banking regulations or whatever. lol
I've known far more young fiscal conservatives than young social conservatives. Generally they expect to get rich and don't want to end up being taxed heavily when they do. They also usually come from very privileged backgrounds and don't understand why people end up needing social assistance.
Ah yes, the old "I'm going to be a millionaire one day so why do I want to be taxed to death" excuse. That seems to work out well for all those poor southern republicans
What, your five-year plans don't always include "become a millionaire or better"? Sounds like someone isn't thinking ahead! If you don't get it the first time, you should keep it on the list!

Young supporters of any party are pretty baffling/terrifying, and I say that as someone who was one of them. (Though in my defense, I was nowhere near as fervent as some others I met.)

You guys are hyping me up for a liberal government. If the cons get reelected on Monday, I'm going to go medieval on your asses.

But if you are going to university in your home province, your education is subsidized. Just ask any out of province or international student how much they actually pay a year to go to your school. So you are already taking a handout just to get your Business degree so that you can work at daddy's bank or whatever it is these kids think is going to happen in their future.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
TAKE THAT, TRUDEAU
It would be fucking York embarrassing itself.
I grew up with a very "orthodox" conservative worldview, but have drifted "leftward" over the past 7 years, starting in my mid-20s-ish.
I call it the Reverse Churchill.

My political journey to date: started as a Liberal, because my parents were. Thought about going NDP during a high school co-op placement, but wasn't very impressed by the MP I worked for. Basically got recruited into the PCs by Scott Brison. Remained a dedicated PCer (federally) until the party ceased to exist. Joined up with the Greens, until it ended in a spectacularly bad fashion. Briefly joined the NDP, until I realized I didn't like Jack Layton. Joined the Liberals because I was so inspired by Dion at the convention he won. Still a Liberal today.
It's rather...winding, though I'm much more left-wing now than I was a decade and a half ago.
I think we'll be talking the slimmest majority possible, so don't get too excited yet. Expect the worst, hope for the best.
That's not just any old woman.
