New Canadian Politics Thread

In a random sampling of public opinion taken by The Forum Poll™ among 977 Québec voters, 3 in 10 (30%) say they would vote for the Liberals in a Federal election, while a similar proportion (28%) say they would support the Conservatives. *One-sixth (15%) say they would support the BQ.

I going to call bullshit on this one. If true though, Trudeau is ****ed.
 
Those results would be a massive, massive outlier compared to recent polling in Quebec. Poll tracker has the Liberals at 35.4% in quebec, with the Conservatives at 23.1% with a seat projection of 48L-16C-14BQ
 
From the very preliminary details, it seems like the dummies drowned trying to cross a river.

Survival experts they were not.

The reports on that seem to be kind of mixed.

Some seem to imply they were found some ways away from the river, others seem to imply that they were found in dense bush along the river's edge.

I guess I also just kind of put two & two together when I read they found some of their personal effects (including a sleeping bag) tangled up in willows in the river, which then led them to a wrecked rowboat and eventually the bodies. To me that sounds like they tried to cross the river, somehow ended up falling out of their boat into the water and drowned.

Guess we'll know more in the coming days.
 
yeah CBC is reporting they were found in the bush. I feel like if they drowned their bodies would be much more difficult (/impossible) to find. guess we'll find out more soon.

....At Postmedia, this was all par for the course.

But October 2018 was different. October 2018 was the start of something unprecedented.

Several editors at the National Post — Postmedia’s flagship newspaper with an explicitly conservative political mandate, where I reported on media from 2016 to 2017 — were summoned to a meeting on the 12th floor of the company’s headquarters.

There, according to three sources familiar with the meeting, company president Andrew MacLeod told them that their paper — which launched in 1998 to serve as the voice of thoughtful, modern Canadian conservatism, and which many would argue remains so — was insufficiently conservative.

Some of the Post’s marquee columnists, albeit right-leaning, have tended to take a variety of positions on subjects ranging from carbon pricing to socio-cultural issues, and so editors were told the paper had to become more reliable in its conservative politics.

“But really!?” one editorial employee remembers thinking when they were briefed on the meeting. “The National Post not conservative enough?!”....

Well, I suppose that in comparison to their American counterparts, Canadian Conservatives are a bunch of tie-dyed hippies.

I guess Postmedia's leadership would like to do their part to correct that.

Maybe they just need to run more editorials from Rex "old man yells at cloud" Murphy, and Conrad "Trump's cock never leaves my mouth" Black.

Not to mention SUN columnists that are flat-out members of the alt-right like Joe Warmington & Sue-Ann Levy.

Definitely a trend developing
 
Bernier and his "Peoples Party of Canada" (Gods, what a stupid name) have officially been excluded from the leaders debates.

They can appeal, but to do so, they have to submit a list of 3-5 ridings where they believe their candidate has a reasonable chance of getting elected.

The debates commission would then conduct their own polling in those ridings to determine whether or not that's actually the case.

Unfortunate for Trudeau.

PPC can only really win in Beauce.

that average also takes into account a couple of rogue Conservative polls by Reid and Ipsos which had them at like 38 and Liberals at 29-30 iirc. Most have Cons lower and Liberals higher. L

Nanos had a recent poll where both May and Scheernonsense trail Trudeau in terms of who has best qualities of a leader.

It will be a very negative campaign and the Russian bots will be out in full force.
 
Btw, if you chose "suicide by gun fire" in the death pool for the two young guys from BC, collect your winnings.
