August1991 Posted January 23 Author Report Posted January 23 The federal Liberals will get no seats west of Ontario. I reckon that they will get no ridings in the Maritimes and Nfld. 32, clean sweep for the Tories, Poileivre. The federal Liberals will get seats in urban Anglo-Quebec. And parts of Ontario. Quote
August1991 Posted January 23 Author Report Posted January 23 Jagmeet Singh is NDP leader because some people vote by tribe. This is not Canada. The NDP will change their leader. Mark Carney is another Ignatieff. Arogant. Freeland? I think that she may be chosen, and then later win to be PM. Quote
NAME REMOVED Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 \ I think it is time for change, but this poll reflects how Canadians feel about Trump. The Liberal Party, which has traditionally stood up for Canadian values as opposed to Conservatives, have made a dramatic increase, especially in Ontario. The Conservatives were literally at 50% before Trump started with his threats to annex Canada. Meanwhile, the Liberals, who were at one point, under 20%, have risen dramatically, to the point that they have captured nearly all their support from the 2021 election. Quote

All Ekos polls show the Liberals far ahead of where the other half-dozen polling firms have them every time they come out. The guy who runs Ekos is Frank Graves, a ferociously partisan Liberal who has publicly vowed that Poilievre will never be PM if he has anything to say about it. Nobody takes Ekos polls seriously anymore. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/geoff-russ-ekos-boss-frank-graves-ill-advised-threat-to-keep-pierre-poilievre-from-winning Quote

Army Guy Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Why is it other polls don't place the liberals above 21 %....maybe I am Groot knows what he is talking about.... https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/ https://abacusdata.ca/canadian-politics-abacus-data-january-2025/ https://338canada.com/polls.htm Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

That you don't like its editorial stance is irrelevant. That you whine about it without questioning the quotes it has from Frank Graves is just an indication that you aren't interested in facts that contradict your worldview. Quote
PIK Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 338 has them over a 20% lead. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

On island, the federal Liberals will keep some. Off island, I reckon the federal Liberals will lose allL Largely BQ and maybe PC I wonder about Papineau: BQ or LPC. The NPD will get nothing. Quote

The majority of the people in Toronto are either immigrants or their kids. Vancouver isn't that far behind. 12% of the population of Montreal are immigrant Muslims who hate Jews and despise Christians, especially women. Sikhs and Hindus are fighting it out next to temples while Eritreans battle it out with sticks and clubs in parks. And hordes of Muslims match through the streets of every major city demanding who agree with their hatred of Jews. The Trudeaus have done away with 'we Canadians'. Quote

None of these animosities can hold a candle to the ridiculousness of the grievances conservatives and progressives have cultivated between themselves Let this be our final battle as a species. If we can't come to an accommodation we might as well bow out and give tardigrades a crack at running the world.
