The Official Toronto Discussion Thread

O'Leary isnt even a lock for CPC nomination.

But if he does win it'll be a dream come true for LPC. The election is two years away and they Liberals are still polling well ahead of both opposition parties. Also dont see the fake Trump act paying off in provinces that are a must for CPC win (Ontario and BC). His lack of French will also kill his QC chances. He may be popular in Alberta depending on how global oil prices swing in the next two years, but thats always been a foregone conclusion.

He's leading the polls right now. He has no real defects right now and he has the business acumen. I think if he used the harper imprint, he can win win without QC. Next 2 years will be interesting.

He may beat Trudeau,he'll win the woman vote and win all the west conservative votes...hes a conservative but hes got a lot of liberal views,so if the economy takes a down turn he'll definitely get alot of liberal votes...

I'm saying. He can do damage downtown toronto, he's smart, witty and and a fiscal conservative.

Thats what is the most absurd part about their Trump cheerleading.

Dont they realize Canada stands to lose big, if he gets his way ? Yet again the bedrock of modern Conservatism proves to be knee-jerk hate.

It also makes for very easy campaign fodder for LPC.

Exactly. Time is on Trudeau's side. If Trump tries to squeeze Canadian manufacturers and energy producers - Trudeau will rally the nation together. Conservatives like Leitch may look like foolish traitors.

A lot of those guys are out west. With Canada no ontario and quebec = government. So we will. See. O Leary is not stupid, he has a plan. I like Chong but Albertans won't vote for him.

You guys are buying the media hype too early. Theres absolutely no way any Conservative candidate can flip downtown Toronto, which hasnt voted Conservative in four decades. The only competition in downtown Toronto is from the left and the NDP remains leaderless.

If there is any riding the CPC writes off entirely, its downtown Toronto. The voting trends are the same at the provincial and municipal level as well. O'Leary wont change that.

Also O'Leary is very loose with the facts and has a shaky business past himself. Both will be tested heavily in a real election campaign. Dont think his celebrity status will allow for those handicaps to be overlooked.

Trudeau is still popular and the Liberals are still consistently polling in majority territory. Unless a major economic downturn hits before 2019, dont think that will change.

Conservatives have to win the 905 to hit majority territory. I dont think the LPC have done much to lose their stranglehold. Itll take a major scandal or crisis for things to change in 2 years.

The composition of the immigrant population will also shift. More than half of immigrants in Canada would be Asian-born by 2036, if recent trends continue, from 44.8 per cent in 2011. At the same time, the share of European immigrants will decline by about half, to about 16 per cent.

More people will belong to a visible-minority group. In the next two decades, the share of the working-age population (aged 15 to 64) who are members of a visible minority will reach up to 40 per cent, from 19.6 per cent in 2011. This share will grow in all parts of the country, the paper said, adding that South Asians will remain the group with the most people, followed by Chinese.

In some cities – Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg, visible minorities could become the majority.

The total share of immigrants in Canada’s population is expected to reach up to 30 per cent, which would be the highest share since 1871, from 20.7 per cent in 2011. Canada already has one of the highest shares of foreign-born people in the developed world.

I'm shocked they aren't the majority already.


I said in elementary school there's no such thing as Canadian Culture, because of the mosaic we have.

Toronto is projected to be 68% percent nonwhite

Vancouver 64%

Calgary 50%

Edmonton 45%

Ottawa 40%

Montreal 40%

Canada's Black population has been steadily increasing. I imagine there will be 2 million Black people in Canada by then
