According to virtually all the polling, that choice is between Liberal Mark Carney and Conservative Pierre Poilievre. One wants to bring back fiscal prudence; the other, plastic straws.

Remarkably, the Liberals have held a five-to-seven-point lead in the polls from the beginning of the campaign, which they carry into the last, mad dash to the finish line.

In fact, according to the latest Nanos Research survey, Carney now leads Poilievre by six points. Several other polls, including on 338Canada, CBC/The Writ and Mainstreet Research, project a Liberal majority government of between 178 and 189 seats.

Our small town is usually chock full of political signs. People are usually guaranteed to vote for one of the two major parties no matter what and generally there is no changing of the mind. They are either Liberals or Conservatives.

There are very few campaign signs this year. It's weird. I'm old now and I've never experienced this here.
