"it's written by the same pr team that keeps trying to convince use that actual human beings have positive opinions of pierre" and i don't believe it.

canadian voters are stupid. they may even be that stupid. but every one of these has managed to sound identical since he was running for party leadership and i'd bet that has a lot more to do with who wrote them than actual people providing real quotes.

I choose to believe that the Star, a reputable journal of record, did full due diligence and did not jist reprint copy handed to them (or to staffers masquerading as swing voters).

yeah, but that requires that you believe that these exact same talking points have been generated organically by everyone who happened to be interviewed on the subject for three+ years, begining when he was a goober parliamentarian 9 out of 10 people couldn't have picked out of a lineup. i think it's far more likely that this nonsense has been written by the same pr team and faithfully reprinted by our dutiful press outlets.

don't get me wrong, there's a very good chance that dipshit is going to be our next prime minister, but that has far more to do with our national obsession with "throw the bastards out" elections every decade or so.

I would guess that at least 50% of voters pay no attention to the news whatsoever until a week before election time, if that, and just vote based on vibes, which means they are immune to such weighty analysis as what might materially benefit the average person

Many die-hard Liberals cannot comprehend why anyone would vote for a different party, or how Hillary Clinton, the most qualified presidential candidate in recorded history, lost to an orange clown.

side note: it's ok to vote for orange clowns up here.

these guys have been the official opposition to two consecutive PCPO majority governments, who could not convince people after four years of ford plundering the province and fumbling covid measures badly enough to piss off every voting bloc in the province, to vote for them.

are they going to somehow fail harder? be less relevant than bonnie crombie's stub of a liberal party? would anyone even notice?

unfortunately, we've embraced being low-rent knockoffs of americans and this isn't going to make a dent in people's support of the CPC

this is just team sports and has been forever. no matter how much his pr squad try to convince us people like pierre, it's not true. CPC voters like the leader of the CPC and will do no matter who that is, their personality or other attributes are irrelevant, they've been made the head of the party, the party loves them.

I want to say the election will be a repeat of 2011 and the Libs will have crawl out of a shallow grave but considering the NDP's entire policy statement seems to be 'what if your landlord was brown' I can't see it. Neither one has anything to offer to either the suburbanites the Liberals rely on or the city dwellers the NDP needs. It owns

Maybe it'll be like when Mulroney got elected and the other parties will basocally cease to exist

A great trick for everybody if you can't afford to buy groceries is to use your Amex cobalt card, which gives you 5x the points on food purchases. And then you cross the border and get an ITIN number so that you can open a US Amex card. Then you transfer over your Amex membership rewards point to your new US Amex card because they US Amex cards have a 1:1 transfer agreement for Member Rewards to Avianca Airlines. Since Avianca Airlines is a Star Alliance partner you can book an Air Canada flight in business class for the equal points value of less than an economy ticket booked directly via Air Canada. And so you can book an around the world first-class trip to Japan in their brand new super-premium first class seating, just by buying the groceries you can't afford to ever pay off!
