95% chance of Liberal majority. Trump showing up caused -25pt for the rightwing party.
Everybody hates Trump. |
Pollievre is promising to end the ban on plastic straws. I wonder where he got that idea. 😅 |
I wonder how many 80 year old Prime Ministers Canada has had. Presumably zero since the average Canadian is smarter than the average American. |
Our oldest was 74. Sometimes I wonder if there should be a limit on age simply due to the possibility of cognitive decline or death whole in office. |
Of course there should be. 80 year old people shouldn't be the most powerful person on Earth for similar reasons to why 20 year old people shouldn't be the most powerful people on Earth. Basic common sense. |
I watched the debate last night and wanted to sucker punch him in the face. |
I saw some of the debate too and the one thing that struck me is the obvious competence among the Canadian candidates relative to the horrifically embarrassing Trump vs Biden debates. We have 8 times more people to choose from. How does this happen? Are our voters that much more stupid? |
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Tupper Wasn't even a real prime minister. He was a placeholder after the previous PM died shortly before and election, and was gone before the next session of Parliament started. |
Yes. It's the climate. Canada is too cold, so only has one rural province with substantial population (Alberta). Everyone else lives in cities. |

Plateauing at 88% chance of Lib majority. Trump owned the Cons. |
Everyone else does not live in cities. What does that have to do with candidates for Prime Minister anyway? |
Probable that Trump is keeping his mouth shut about "51st State" so as to give the Conservatives a chance. Every time he opened his mouth, it would push the Libs forward. Does this mean aggressive rhetoric (can we really call anything Trump says something as dignified as rhetoric) resumes after the election? |
Most Canadians live in few small areas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_of_Canada High population density areas have more knowledge of the world and vote more liberal. |
Much higher level of discourse. Steve Paikin host of TVOntario's nightly public affairs program is a superb moderator. |
