HOW MANY COLI CANADIANS VOTED FOR PIERRE POILIEVRE?

[Givethanks]

I mean it depends. Some people have disability (various levels of illiteracy, vision issues, dislexia, etc.). I could see it being an issue for some even if they are adults. Someone I know close to me can read a little but is not super literate. If there were 8 candidates she could figure it out. But 91 names like the picture and i could see them struggling. They are still employed (manual labor) and pay taxes.

My dad is in his 80s and has vision issues. I could see him struggling with this too.

True, I think with AODA that should've been covered. But I get it, adults aren't asking for help because it makes us feel stupid.

Increase lead? I thought the latest poll showed them practically tied.

Pp wasted two years whining like a baby instead of coming up with a concrete plan and developing some leadership skills. “Axe the tax. F,,, Trudeau”. Canadians don’t fall for that negative trump crap. Love how Trudeau didn’t even give that crap the time of day.

Carney is making a huge political mistake on this Chinese bounty issue.

He will end up firing Chiang, but he will look like he has poor judgement after saying it was a "teachable moment"

NEVER BEFORE has a Prime Minister been so non-chalant about such a serious matter!

Why pivot? Postmedia says that he will win.

@Wheelevolution
This is laughable. So someone that didn’t give a damn about this country suddenly walks in and steals the hearts of voters after a decade of division, wasteful spending, corruption and gaslighting. We are poorer because of it. And you expect us to believe the polls? /search?q=#cdnpoli

gg it's over

Pierre Poilievre prepared for years to campaign on Carbon tax, Capital gains tax, inflation, immigration etc.

but the election is now purely about Trump and he has failed to pivot

BREAKING: Carney's Liberal Party reaches all-time high — nearly 80% chance of winning the Canadian election.

i guess literally campaigning on establishing direct flight routes between Toronto&Vancouver and the Indian state of Punjab didn't resonate with voters! weird!

historians will wonder what went wrong

I am quite sure he is losing on purpose, it seems like the strongest explanation to me.

what is his incentive to lose on purpose ?

He didn't really campaign on immigration at all. If he had, he would've still had an overwhelming lead with non-boomers

The winning strategy was simply going harder on immigration and pointing out due to the liberal lack stance on immigration and everything else. That’s why Canada is at the position that it’s at but instead he’s trying to liberal the liberal party

Not going hard against Canada’s handling of the Covid lockdowns, the Christian Church hoax and the trucker protest. Like you said he doesn’t have the stones to do it.

Frankly, the "conservatives" of Canada are basically a bunch of Mitch McConnells. There's no real hope for that country right now. Wouldn't make a difference.

But that's no surprise, he loves them Truckers.

I am very glad Foreign Interference - particularly on the We Chat social media platform - is being taken more seriously in this election. This is another example of the positive impact of the Hogue Inquiry and media reporting on the issue.

The funny thing about the Ottawa Police Association endorsing Pierre Poilievre, is that every single riding in Ottawa voted against the Convoy's Uber Eats driver.

Trump Brags About How He Screwed Over MAGA’s Canadian Ally in Election​

The president talked his impact on Canada’s Monday election to The Atlantic.​

Donald Trump has touted tanking Canada’s right-of-center party’s chances of winning Monday’s election—even though it will put the left-of-center liberals in power north of the border.

The president bragged about his power in an interview with The Atlantic published Monday, just as Canadian voters headed to the polls in an election that had been a lay-up for the country’s opposition Conservative Party.

The election was called because Trump foil Justin Trudeau, leader of the ruling Liberal party, resigned. His replacement Mark Carney—a former head of both the Bank of Canada and Bank of England—then became prime minister and appeared set for a crushing defeat.

But Trump’s attacks on Canada and push to make it the 51st state turned the race on its head.

The president bragged about his personal impact on the election during a White House interview while discussing his push to make Canada a state.

“You know, until I came along, remember that the conservative was leading by 25 points,” Trump said.

“Then I was disliked by enough of the Canadians that I’ve thrown the election into a close call, right? I don’t even know if it’s a close call,” he added.

In Canada, voters do not directly cast ballots for prime minister but for candidates in a political party to join parliament. The leader of the party with the most seats then becomes prime minister.

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was considered the frontrunner consistent with the rise in anti-incumbent party sentiment at the start of the year. Trudeau and his Liberal Party had been in power for nearly a decade. Poilievre had run on a MAGA-style platform, promising tax cuts, complaining about immigration and dipping his toe into culture war issues.

But since Trump took office in January, the Conservative Party’s 25-point lead has been wiped out. Canadian pollster Frank Graves credited Trump as the biggest factor in the election.

The president brought up the election in his interview while talking about making Canada the 51st state.

“I say it would make a great 51st state. I love other nations. I love Canada,” Trump said.

He argued if Canada was a state, it would not face tariffs.

That’s when The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg cut in and asked the president if he was serious about wanting Canada to become a state.

“I think it would be great,” Trump responded.

When Goldberg pointed out that Canada would amount to a very large Democratic-leaning state, Trump argued out that it had been previously been leaning toward the country’s Conservative Party.

He said that conservatives did not like Trudeau, referring to him as “governor.”

“I would call him Governor Trudeau, but he wasn’t fond of that,” the president said.

Most polls in Canada close at 9:30pm ET. Election results were expected late Monday night.

Carney was expected to secure a majority in the Ottawa parliament on an anti-Trump ticket which would put his party in power in Canada until after the 2028 elections.
