ToadBrother Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) So now we're resorting to personal attacks? Wow. Yup. I found your post below the belt, unwarranted, and quite frankly, more than a little unbelievable. It's almost as if you have run out of legitimate complaints, and are now just resorting to blatant personal attacks. Edited October 5, 2015 by ToadBrother Quote
The_Squid Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 So now we're resorting to personal attacks? Wow. It's a "suspicion" that I have.... See how that might not work so well? Anonymous anecdotes about the fact you "happened" to be a student of Trudeau and he was arrogant and was hitting on the hot teachers... Yeah... OK... Somehow, I doubt the truthfulness of that story... I'm not saying you're a liar... I am just saying that you are likely not telling the truth. Quote
ReeferMadness Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 By "expect", don't you mean "hope"? I think he actually means "pray". Given the prevalence of evangelicals in the CPC, maybe they will call on God to smite the devils Trudeau and Mulcair.

waldo Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 No one does, but that's my suspicion. I have also been a student under Trudeau. I remember his arrogance as a teacher very well. E.g. He used to flaunt to the other hot female teacher how he was Trudeau Sr's son. I remember that like it was yesterday. anyone can say anything on the interweeb! Quote

I never heard angrypenguin claim he was one of Trudeau's students before. Now all of a sudden, he's a student who saw Trudeau behave inappropriately? That strains credibility to the extreme. I'll come out and say it. I do not believe what angrypenguin wrote. Quote

ScottM Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 I've been off for a couple of days because of an extremely busy weekend, but I come back to it all to see that we seem to have some clarity, at least for the moment. Barring further shakeups, the Liberals look like they're in strong position to form a minority, but I have to wonder how much the NDP will fall. With Nanos now pegging them under 23%, I'm starting to wonder if their seat haul might more closely resemble 2008 than 2011. If the collapse continues, the Liberals seem likely to do the best in Quebec, and outside of there and BC, the NDP doesn't have much to hang on. There may be some decisions ahead for and about Mulcair. Quote
Evening Star Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 I mean, if angrypenguin is from Vancouver and somewhere between his mid-20s and early 30s, it's not impossible that he took a class from JT. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in a teenage memory of him using a greasy line on another teacher, though. Quote

CITIZEN_2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 It remains to be seen how the TPP affects the polls in the next couple of days. It is possible that it may move conservatives somewhat higher in the polls but if the move from NDP to Liberals continue, the gap of 4 to 5% between the two leading parties may remain. Quote

Yes sure this is the link by Nanos tracking released this morning, October 5. http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/election/liberals-emerging-with-lead-ndp-sliding-conservatives-steady-nanos-tracking-1.2595031 Harper and Trudeau tied as preferred PM, Mulcair slides to third The latest tracking by Nanos Research for CTV News and the Globe and Mail shows Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau tied on the preferred prime minister measure. Meanwhile, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has slid to a distant third. The latest numbers, which were released Oct. 5, show: 31.1 per cent of respondents named Harper as their preferred prime minister 30.2 per cent preferred Trudeau 20.7 per cent preferred Mulcair 10.4 per cent were unsure Survey respondents were asked: "Of the current federal political party leaders, could you please rank your top two current local preferences for prime minister?" The results show the race between Harper and Trudeau has tightened up following the final French debate on Friday, while Mulcair's numbers have slid. Edited October 5, 2015 by CITIZEN_2015 Quote

LOL So much for the Tories' grand quest to make him look like an idiot. And really, the very fact that the Liberals are coming on so strong suggests that, even if the Tories win, Stephen Harper's grand quest to destroy the Liberal Party has been an abject and absolute failure.

Can we all agree that just because some person posts bullshit, it doesn't suddenly become valid for someone else to post bullshit? It was a pretty obvious lie that basically everyone called you out for, and now you're somehow proud of it. Just... just no. ____________ About the poll, the difference between the Libs and the Cons was less than 10 people, so I wouldn't point to it as a clear indication of any lead really. They're both within margin of error in IPSOS, while in Nanos Liberals have held a consistent lead outside margin of error. From the recent poll data overall I think it's safe to say that the Liberals are in a better position at the moment. Edited October 5, 2015 by Kageshima Quote

CITIZEN_2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Poll tracker for CBC is likely the most reliable. Still a tiny minority conservatives even though Liberals get the most popular vote but Liberals are up 1.5% since last poll while conservatives steady confirming other polls. Poll averages Which parties are gaining or losing support? To provide the best estimate of current voting intentions, the Poll Tracker combines data from all major public opinion polls into a weighted average. According to the latest data: Liberal Party 32.4% The Liberal Party leads with 32.4% support. Liberal Party +1.5 The Liberal Party had the largest change, up 1.5 points since the last poll average calculations. http://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/poll-tracker/2015/index.html Liberals 32.4% and - 118 seats Conservatives 31.6% and - 122 seats NDP 25.3% and - 96 seats This poll average is for October 4 (yesterday). Likely a bit out of date but confirming upward movement for Liberals. I will look at the Nanos overnight poll for tonight due to be released at 6:00 am tomorrow. I like to see the influence of TPP, if any. Edited October 6, 2015 by CITIZEN_2015 Quote
