dialamah Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I thought this sort of thing was a no-no during the actual campaign.. Me too, but groups can register in some special category I think, so maybe that's it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dialamah Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 @Hydraboss.. You make me want to find more info, so perhaps I'll go do that. Thanks for indulging my curiosity. I was really young during Trudeau's tenure, and really have no feelings either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribblet Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I thought this sort of thing was a no-no during the actual campaign..They can if they are registered as a third party which they are. I see Avaaz is registered again but with an American address, that's against the rules, they must have a Canadian base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CITIZEN_2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 And yet another poll showing the two top parties in a stat. tie. http://www.scribd.com/doc/284153512/Mainstreet-Research-poll-Oct-9 The same pollster was reporting an 8 point lead for Tories just last week so I don't mind what they reported today though contrary to all other recent polls but the direction and the pace of it is very pleasant.

As Eric at 308 observed, the claims of an 8 point lead were coming from pretty old data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadBrother Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Eric Grenier is now saying the Liberals would win 132 seats to the Tories' 123 and the NDP's 80. In comparison, The Signal is reporting a more marginal Liberal lead of 133 seats to the Tories' 130 with the NDP at 73. Grenier seems to be suggesting that the Liberals are gaining a noticeable lead, and seems to be suggesting that the NDP's losses are benefiting the Liberals more than the Tories. The Signal clearly sees this as a neck in neck race. We're going to be entering the final stretch next week, and that should tell us whether this still remains an effective tie, or whether what we're seeing now is the first hints of the Liberals gaining dominance.

Interesting. Considering the last two polls done by Nanos have the NDP starting to creep up (just read this, haven't confirmed myself). Orange wave?

I don't see a lot of evidence of NDP recovery, though if they do, it will almost certainly spell trouble for the Liberals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dialamah Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Seems to me the trendline on the Liberals has been steadily upward since the election was called, whilst CPC has bounced around, but has trended down. I bet that wasn't Harper's plan when he decided on an extra long election. Anyway, hope these trends continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydraboss Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Everyone collectively hope for an NDP seat increase of around, say, 20 seats (at the Liberal's expense). That would work just about perfectly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Everyone collectively hope for an NDP seat increase of around, say, 20 seats (at the Liberal's expense).

CITIZEN_2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Innovative Research just out ..Liberals now leading conservatives by 5 percentage point.

capricorn Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Agreed. I'd rather avoid a wonder boy victory, even if it's just a short-lived minority government. Expect a bump for the Conservatives in Quebec as a result of media coverage about the review/audit of Syrian refugee files. I base that on the positive reaction of the majority of commenters on Quebec media about the merits of said reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you opt for Tom, tasty though he looks, youjust get more Steve. I think the Liberal lead is not all from NDP only as conservative vote is down too from 31 to 34% to now 30%. NDP votes in fact is up from 22 to 23% to 24%. I think that Intelligent and passionate Canadian voters are beginning to realize the political manipulations, and politics of division and conquer of certain cold blooded, heartless uncaring party with a line up recent history of scandals and corruptions.

Topaz Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 ANYONE HERE VOTED AS YET? We did and as we were coming out of voting, I could hear several people talking about NOT voting for the Harper, not the Tory Party but people just don't like Harper. There was a long line up but our poll had a short line in and out in about 5 minutes. I think we will see more voters voting this time around.

If you're trying to say that conservative voters are moving to the NDP, I'll have to call you out. Can't see it. Maybe the Liberals, but not Mulcair.
