So I'm hearing if there's a federal election this summer/fall barring something like a 4th wave the Liberals are probably gonna gain seats just cuz everyone is getting their doses and re-opening is happening. It's just a matter of if they get a majority or not.

We need to get the U of T campus to be like the Japanese imperial palace. In the sense that the palace was once valued to be worth more than the state of California. Once we get there we can just sell it and buy a real economy from another country.

Bleusilences posted:Everyone should be uncomfortable with the PPC numbers IMO. I get the impression that the PPC numbers this time is due to vaxx bringing out single issue voters very few people care about being anti-gender pronouns or whatever american-style cultural war issue they are trying to import covid will not be a major issue in another 2 years, interest in them will drop accordingly I could just be wrong though lol, maybe in another 2 years Leader Bernier will be marching on Ottowa or wahtever Typo fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Sep 17, 2021 |

 If you do the math, the majority of the PPC gains in this election are from 2019 non-voters and a tiny fraction of Green party voters rather than defections from the tories. This suggests very strongly to me the PPC gains are from single issue anti-vaxxer voters, rather than affinity for more general right-wing ideology

Calumanjaro posted:Unless I'm misreading the graph, 3% of conservatives would be larger than 4% of greens. I'm also sceptical al any of those nonvoters will vote this time. if you think the 2019 non-voters aren't gonna vote this time either sure, but we'll see My personal observation (admitly limited sample size cuz irl+fb) on the PPC support this time is a lot of people who didn't give a poo poo about politics before vaccines and now all of a sudden do is because of vaccines Typo fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Sep 19, 2021 |

based on personal observation (from listening to campaign ads on radio) Tories focused way way too much on Trudeau bad man. While that did work for like a couple of weeks the voters seem to be apathetic after that

Seems like the Tories will end up with...the exact number of seats they had it will be interesting to see what happens internally. O-2 ran as true blue conservative in the Will be interesting to see if the Tories start shifting back towards the right or decide "if we just do the same thing against in 2023 but slightly better we'll win" Also lol@Libs losing votes while gaining seats  Canada doesn't even have gerrymandering, but the Libs have like 40 more seats than their % of popular vote would indicate. The discrepancy might legit be worse than the gerrymandered US house map. Typo fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Sep 24, 2021 |

Ron Paul Atreides posted:I know it was short notice but was there even all that much variance on policy this election? Only policy difference was the PPC anti-vaxx thing. The vote split from what I heard might legit have costed the tories a dozen seat or something in close races. But the election was mostly fought over Trudeau bad man yes/no

Ron Paul Atreides posted:Trying desperately to get Canadians to have modicum of self awareness as we trundle along into the next phase of confrontation, as the aggressor. I fully agree with poster, talking about Xinjiang concentration camps (which we aren't even really sure is bad literally fuckig John Bolton the war criminal says it's bad so we should be skeptical about it being bad) would only encourage the bourgeoise and white privilege. And is frankly racist since it does not take into account China's unique culture and historical context. We should instead refocus on "hardline" critic of Fascist-Super state of Canada since every minute where you are writing a post about China is a minute you aren't spending attacking Canadian super fascism.

Starks posted:Nonresident ownership in Toronto is 3.4% from all countries including the US lol, China is not the reason our real estate is expensive. Vancouver is 4.8%. That idea was always at least partially rooted in xenophobia but it’s interesting how it’s changed from Hong Kong specifically to China in general. foreign buyers prob did play a significant part in the initial bubble phase back in 2013 or so since then it's mainly a narrative that justifies domestic speculation based on expectation of ever higher prices

PT6A posted:I have a feeling the Liberals will lose because of the housing crisis. It’s gotten way out of hand, and they show no willingness to do anything about it. The NDP’s solutions are asinine and most people already don’t trust them on economic issues. The Conservatives could walk away with a landslide if they’d nominated a rancid ham sandwich, so I suspect they’ll eke out a small victory with Polliver. it really really look like the LIbs are going to lose whenever the next federal election is called but at the same time the Canadian Tories are kinda pros at losing elections so we'll have to see

DynamicSloth posted:PP, Erin O'Toole and Andrew Scheer are all basically the same person. All of them would set their hypothetical government agenda on whatever is popular with ALEC that they can get away with passing in Canada. The next election will be a rerun of the last two because the Liberals are comfortable with that. Unfortunately the Liberals have eroded support every cycle and their electoral math has always depended on winning the same GTA suburbs that love Doug Ford. Libs are polling like 10 points behind the PC atm (they ran around evenly in 2021) and it's really really hard to win 4 elections in a row I mean it takes a lot of incompetency on the part of the opposition for the governing party to win even 3 elections but here we are

DynamicSloth posted:Yeah it's not good. having the most efficient voter distribution is worth a couple of points in popular vote share but it's prob not gonna save them if the final result is 37-29-19 (Con/Lib/NDP) on the same note, the Ontario Tories are fked in 2026 as well. 2022-202X is when we are reaping all the accumulated problems a 10-15 year boom business cycle caused. Things are almost certainly going to be worse in another 3 years than today before a market crash does a partial reset. Typo fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Aug 14, 2023 |

Fidelitious posted:I'd like that to be the case but they rode to a massive majority last time around and they had already done plenty of horrible poo poo at that point. it takes a while for voters to notice what's going on and usually voters don't care about what the party in power -actually- did, it's more like "the economy is bad incumbent must be bad" and things are probably gonna get a lot worse in the next 3 yrs
