A new Campaign Research is out and even they, a Con-friendly pollster, have the Liberals and Cons tied -- and their poll was conducted on February 26, the height of blockade mania. It's already over a week out of date. Online panels also tend to rate the NDP high. They always come down when an actual election occurs as people move to strategic voting habits. An election that, again, is not likely to be in October.<br /><br />Coronavirus is about to take center stage and the blockades fade from the news. Which means time should heal these wounds.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-64951459934516340192020-03-06T16:43:52.726-05:002020-03-06T16:43:52.726-05:00National toplines don't paint a full picture. ...National toplines don't paint a full picture. Particularly when the Cons continue to run up dictatorial numbers in Wexit country and it skews everything else. Nanos does a disservice to the public by paywalling his regional numbers and then going on CTV to offer his misleading "punditry". All for what? $$$. What I have seen however is that Trudeau remains on top as Preferred PM while Scheer trails "I don't know".<br /><br />338 is wading into that field of speculative "analysis" too unfortunately, and probably because they've gone corporate with Maclean's. (Think 338/538 -- Nate Silver is hit or miss too). LeanTossup cuts through the spin and breaks down the numbers by demographics. (I don't work for them. I just like their site.) Predictions are hard, especially about the future, but there will most likely not be an October election to coincide with the U.S. Not when the minority parties are flat broke and a handful of MPs don't collect their full pensions until 2021.<br /><br />I have no idea what trajectory Trudeau's career decisions will take vis-a-vis the next election. Only his hairdresser knows for sure. But the rest of us can continue to work hard at debunking the M$M's gaslighting and lies, and hope that the Kenney/O'Toole/MacKay bare-knuckle UFC -- I mean UCP -- fight serves to tear the Cons apart.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-50017524836913133892020-03-06T12:13:34.166-05:002020-03-06T12:13:34.166-05:00Yeah I know about Angus Reid but still...even nano...Yeah I know about Angus Reid but still...even nanos hast the cons at 36 percent... anyway we'll see how it will work out, but the problem IMO is that the cons do have this base of CA. 35% while liberals do not necessarily...Jsbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174552171674689646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-61864654566200769992020-03-04T21:59:38.039-05:002020-03-04T21:59:38.039-05:00ARI gave me a heart attack too, but I have to keep...ARI gave me a heart attack too, but I have to keep reminding myself that they're the Rasmussen of Canada. They oversample Cons by design and called the Liberals for 29 percent in the election, which leaves them down three from a number that was already off. Nanos and Léger have them statistically tied. What Nik was pushing last week on Evan's daily shoutfest was an excuse to appear on CTV and push filler. It was noise, and he's really gone downhill ever since he became a "pundit" and sold out to Conservative Television and Bob Fife's Pravda paper. As for 338, even Fournier takes ARI numbers with a heaping of salt.<br /><br />BTW, I just saw this from LeanTossup, which is the best kept secret in Canadian moneyball projections. Except for maybe one or two boner calls that everybody got wrong, they have been more accurate than 338 and the (defunct?) CBC Poll Tracker. I must say I feel a lot better when Evan and Robert break down the numbers with a little bit of sanity.

Frank Graves labeled it as bullshit yet the rest of the M$M, including the decrepit Stockholm Syndrome CBC, laps it up like gospel. A self-reinforcing cycle.<br /><br />Canada may not be broken, but it is suffering, if only because it has been intentionally battered by the Republican wannabe Cons and their propaganda mouthpieces setting Trudeau and the Liberals up to fail. The protesters haven't done themselves any favors in this mess, and some of their most fervent and uncompromising apologists on the far left have themselves gone too far in their condescending righteous sanctimony. If I had to read one more finger-wagging, self-congratulatory hair-shirt screed from David Moscrop I was going to punch a wall.<br /><br />But even the most obnoxious of fauxgressive agitprop pales in comparison to what the Cons are doing. John Wright of Dart/Maru (formerly of Ipsos-Reid), Paul Godfrey, and every one of the hacks at the Nazionalist Post like Selley and Ivison, should be ashamed of themselves for trying to drum up a race war that could get people killed and tear the country apart. Self-selecting Internet panels have an agenda to promote and are as useless as questionnaires put out to an echo chamber of Twitter followers. Their companies should be dismantled for false advertising and incitement to hatred. What the hell is wrong with these Cons and their moneyball sympathizers? Are they some kind of psychopaths who want to see violence just so they can print headlines that say Justin Trudeau has blood on his hands? I seem to recall "if it bleeds it leads" being the ethos of Joseph Goebbels and Father Coughlin back in the day too! God damn the lying fake news media, they really are the enemy of the people.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-25221150982397863602020-03-02T19:33:29.746-05:002020-03-02T19:33:29.746-05:00The barricades angered a lot of Canadians, so the ...The barricades angered a lot of Canadians, so the pressure on Justin Trudeau must have been tremendous.

There's no appeasing these assholes, period. If we look at any given move by the Liberals, each and every one gets spun and twisted into a Con-descending attack on JT. The times he does something that benefits them, we hear nothing. They're like inconsiderate children though real children would learn from their mistakes. JT keeps trying to reach out in a bi-partisan fashion but it doesn't work and I wish he'd quit wasting his time. These useless pricks aren't worth the time of day so why bother? The country isn't broken but the Cons are trying their damndest to do so. That is why I found this so refreshing and should serve as a lesson to every divisive Con out there.<br /><br />https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/trudeau-appoints-former-pm-joe-clark-as-special-envoy-for-canadas-bid-for-un-security-council-seat<br /><br />Good old Joe.
