22 Minutes takes a look at the NDP.
Hearing reports of 70% turnout in some ridings already.
Probably one of Poilievre’s bigger problems…
They never know what it means.
Hopefully he figures out what it means soon as he’s planning a lot of cuts based on it. From what i can tell, woke seems to include anything to do with climate change and reducing carbon emissions based on what he’s planning on cutting.
He should have kept his mouth shut about his anti-wokeism if he wants to get elected as it just makes him sound like Trump. That is a sure vote loser.
7.3m votes cast during the early voting period.
Looks like about 17m votes total were cast in the 2021 federal election, and 18m in 2019.
Two weeks ago the Liberals had > 6% margin which is now < 4%. That still should give them a majority if they lose no more support. But I do worry about the recent slide in Liberal popularity.
The Liberals should win the most seats. My worry is they do not win a clear majority of the seats. We do not want a minority government to deal with Trump.
I’m a bit surprised by how conservative the Powell River riding is getting. I’m wondering how much is blow back on land claims and how much is just being a semi-rural area.
So…politics works differently in Canada than in the US, but at least there seems to be a decent explanation for why working with Parliament is like working with a herd of cats.
