Let's not jinx it folks.
I shoulda voted Lewis. Oh well he was my second choice and Rob prolly won't win so.. 😅
CBC's Power and Politics panelists are starting to talk as if Avi won lol, because of the donation amounts.
It's a good predictor and he leads by a lot. So I think that's fair.
What I want to hear and see is the signs of bricks forming in some asses as they get to discuss this poll. I hope it's discussed at Good Talk this Friday too. 😅
Definitely Philip J Fournier and Eric Grenier might pick it up on The Writ podcast they do separately. They've lately have not been finding much notable movement on the NDP and Alberta Liberal support has their attention the most... but this surely will come up on Thursday for them. I can edit and link to the episode once I see it.

Thank you baby!
Episode is out. The swing is interesting but they do note it could all be moot if Erskine-Smith decides not to leave The Beaches-East York federal riding.
I'll watch in a bit.
Using useless polls to sway public opinion just seems so american.
not so much 'sway' rather many of us haven't seen this jagmeed-less ndp move yet, i'll listen to them more then i'll listen to the cons, the greens or the Quebecers rn, they're a good opposition to carney, who is a soft conservative more interested in the number then touchy feeliy things, but not a monster in a suit like i suspect PP might be.
Good. We need real change in this country and an end to liberal and conservative madness.
What's the purpose of this hypothetical?
I think it's to gauge the level of support the NDP could get depending on the result of the leadership campaign. They polled two NDP leadership candidates. Lewis is the only one that beat the libs.
its cope lolololol,
no but for real this is actually interesting.
this is showing that con are now the 3rd wheel thank to trump and pp similarity to him here. as someone who doesn't feel to strongly associated with the liberal (way too touchy feeliy and not focusing on more impotent things like the economy and real workers rights) and don't really like everything about the cons points (especially rn since if your against any of these crazy argument they make you painted as not a real conservative) its why i like carney, political mild and focusing on more important aspect of our country during this crucial time.
Im not against the NDP but i think we can all agree Jagmeed did not do a good job at all, he got dental for the brokeist folks around which is good but everything else is lacking and I (no body else this is just my crackpot theory since i have no definitive proof) that he was helping harbor Indian separatist terrorist (the Khalistani), and is the real reason behind the alliance with Justin. look them up and you'll likely agree they're sus as fuck even if they've not been violent recently) for those reasons i, never really like the man and it seems a lot of people seemed to agree as he got booted roughly after Justin did, (also you'll note that the RCMP announced it would begin monitoring that group after those 2 got the boot, funny coincidence ay ;)
but enough about my mad ravings, i know little about the party these days so i hope to god there an actual contender next election, i could go either way but carney is doing ok in my eyes so i wanna see something good come from the ndp in the news more.
Anti Zionazi foreign policy, with more containment of US relationship, platform is an easy opportunity to win in most NATO colonies, and in fact in US. You can overcome the Zionist supremacist funding by disqualifying the opponents receiving it.
Not a huge fan of Lewis, I'm still hoping for Ashton.
Its convenient to support all the Covid stimulus funded entirely via printed money and BoC QE, and then state we need to make everything publically owned because of greedflation. At what point is it the governments own lack of desire to raise taxes to pay for anything thats at fault?
Trudeau had a generational fairness capital gains tax, that seems like a more sensible solution to future inflation.
I'm right pissed that they reversed the increase in capital gains tax. Capital gains should be taxed as income (but with capital losses allowed to be used to offset). The planned increase from ½ to ⅔ inclusion beyond $10K (iirc?) didn't go nearly far enough. I guess, sure, ½ inclusion to $10K likely makes sense, to encourage more Canadians to invest at all, but people pulling in $100K+/yr from their investments shouldn't be taxed on only 50% of their investment gains.
It's insane that capital owners pay less tax than working class Canadians. (I mean working class in the "need to work to live" original definition, not "low-education worker" meaning).
Agreed its bullshit, and I don't actually believe it was put in to do anything but make Trudeau a scapegoat to install Carney.
As with Freeland's letter, it all seemed highly coordinated.
