So, the federal election is Monday October 21, 2019.
Current polling has the Liberals and Conservatives roughly tied in projected seat count with the Conservative party holding a tiny edge. 170 seats are required for a majority.
Attachment 85742
Obviously there's a long time before the election and a lot can change.
One of my favourite things about the federal election is the volume of polls is higher, so the aggregated projections should be higher quality.
I already got a text today from Sarah the conservative, asking for support. Man, they're starting early.
surprised they are so close with the recent scandal. Would have thought Conservatives would have a significant edge and into majority territory at this point with it being still somewhat fresh. Still early but hopefully canadians have good memories come Oct 21.Quote:

short term pain for long term gain. we'd see an immediate and serious move for Alberta separation or some sort of deconstruction of Confederation. something that I think should happen anyway - so the Liberals really fucking it up would almost be wortwhile.Quote:

I thought most British Columbians were actually supportive of the pipeline. It’s just the autism in Vancouver and Burnaby along with traditional anti business places like Victoria or Nanaimo.

The Provincial polls showed a close race between UCP and NDP, despite the mass anger towards the NDP in Alberta. Look how that turned out. I feel the Federal election will go somewhat similarly.Quote:

My prediction as of April 24, 2019:
West votes virtually the same and makes no difference.
Ontario fails to massively vote Conservative, much to everyone's surprise, and piles of Liberals hold onto their seats. Pollsters quietly shrink into the darkness while no one remembers to question their massive inaccuracy after "it was so clear" that Ontario would lean Conservative "because they elected Ford" etc etc.
NDP get SMOKED in Quebec compared to last election and 65% of their lost seats go to BQ while the other 35% go to Justin and the election is over with enough Liberals in ON & PQ to seal the deal.
Atlantic Canada doesn't sweep Liberal (as it did in 2015) but still thoroughly Liberal and maybe a pop up Green or Independent or some fringe nonsense. Little to no Conservative gains in Atlantic.
We'll see... I'm not looking to debate my position for the next several months, I just figured I'd toss a loose prediction in.
plot twist: pipeline fully approved, shovels in the ground a month before election, alberta votes red ;)Quote:
