I think the hope of the right across the globe that they would ride Trump’s coattails to power is completely delusional. The level of disgust at what he’s doing is profound. I saw this happen in Spain. Sanchez came out immediately and said no to the war. And the PP and Vox came out and attacked him for it. But he has huge support from the country.
It's very apparent to Canadians especially WOMEN, that we have to support the Liberals if we want human rights for everyone. Because conservatives are fine to take our kids rights, our women's rights, and any kind of socialist programing, because theyre GREEDY FUCKS. Conservatives are liars and incompetent fools. IMO
We know how calling a snap election turned out for us in Ontario. We are stuck with the man who is trying to gut healthcare and education. Not a fan of Dougie or what he does.
I think Canadians want a steady pace, a reliable choice that will keep us on an even path going forward. With all the chaos to the south of us, but in many parts of the world, Canadians including Canadian families want a government that is going to try their best to look out for the majority of the population.
It's impossible to please everyone, but Mark Carney won by saying he would bring economic growth to Canada. And he's doing that. We are still in winter time and most things don't start to be built in the middle of winter. It will be interesting to see some of these actions that he's been making promises and have contracts signed What will happen when the snow melts in the majority of Canada.
Actually he has brought economic decline and not addressed the rampant criminality destroying our country. He actually mamaged to spend more money tgan Trudeau. It is funny seeing how many people that are completely oblivious to what is happening across this country. Mortgage defaults, food bank usage, criminals let out on bail to reoffend, manufacturers moving south, ... Elbows up.
The national polls without a regional breakdown are not really useful except for a general feeling. We elect at the local level at the county level and the sum of all these counties is the National representation. For example, the Bloc Quebecois has no candidates outside of Quebec so the 2.5% is nothing at the National level but could represent 15 seats in Quebec where their base is concentrated instead of the 0 seat that you would presume from the national poll. The devil’s is in the details.
National polls are more about overall mood than actual seat projections.
In Canada, elections are decided riding by riding, and regional concentration can completely change the outcome.
The Bloc is the perfect example... a small national percentage can still translate into a meaningful number of seats if the support is concentrated in Quebec.
That’s why regional breakdowns and seat modelling usually tell the more interesting story.
“Mark Carney’s approach so far suggests something different.
He appears focused on governing rather than rushing to the ballot box.
In politics, that’s always a gamble.”
Exactly. This is Mark Carney showing us that he is not acting as a politician, but rather as the leader of a nation with a huge task. Kudos to all of us who voted him to power, to the envy of the free world.
I'm convinced Danielle Smith precipitated this when she said Poilievre's values aligned with Trump's. I don't know if she did it deliberately but his career sure floundered from that moment on.

That’s a good observation Lisa.
Political waves can travel internationally... but so can political backlash.
What works in one country doesn’t always translate the same way somewhere else.
Every country eventually filters things through its own political culture.

I understand the emotions around politics right now.
My goal here isn’t to demonize people on either side... it’s to look at the decisions leaders are making and how they affect the country.
Canada works best when we can debate policy without turning neighbours into enemies.
Honestly-it seems so obvious that the conservative stance is harkening back to a time that women never want to see again.
A lot of people are worried about the direction politics is taking... not just here but in several countries right now.
In Canada the debates usually come down to policy choices and priorities, and voters tend to sort that out over time.
The country has a long habit of drifting back toward the centre when things get too heated.
It's been a terrifying few years as a woman with children I can honestly say I'm scared for the future.
A lot of people are feeling anxious about the direction of politics lately.
One thing about Canada is that change tends to happen slowly and through debate, not sudden swings.
Our institutions are designed to protect rights and keep things balanced over time.
It’s understandable to worry about the future when you have kids... most parents do.
We know how calling a snap election turned out for us in Ontario. We are stuck with the man who is trying to gut healthcare and education. Not a fan of Dougie or what he does.
That’s exactly the risk with snap elections.
Sometimes governments call them thinking the momentum will hold... and sometimes voters respond very differently than expected.
Politics has a way of humbling people who try to time the moment too perfectly.

The delegates for the leadership review had to pay $1000 to vote. Therefore, some paid to vote no. That says a lot about pp.
It definitely narrows the pool Natalie.
Once you add travel, time, and a $1000 ticket, you’re mostly going to see the party’s most committed activists in the room.
That can produce a very different result than a broad national vote.
Canadians just DON'T want the kinds of MAGA delusion Polievre represents.
Canadian politics tends to work differently than American politics.
Voters here usually gravitate toward the centre over time, and parties that move too far to one side often struggle to build a national coalition.
That dynamic shows up in the polling from time to time.

You’re absolutely right Luc.

I think that’s a fair way to look at it.
Right now Carney seems focused on stabilizing things and getting policy moving, rather than immediately jumping into campaign mode.
That’s a different rhythm than what we’re used to in Canadian politics.
Of course, governing always involves a bit of political calculation... that never disappears.
But if the focus stays on actually getting work done instead of permanent campaigning, most Canadians will probably welcome that change.
Time will tell whether the approach holds up, but it’s certainly an interesting shift to watch.
I'm convinced Danielle Smith precipitated this when she said Poilievre's values aligned with Trump's. I don't know if she did it deliberately but his career sure floundered from that moment on.
The moment Canadian politics gets tied to the Trump brand, the debate stops being about policy and becomes about identity.
That’s a tough label for any Canadian politician to outrun.
Interesting that Canada actually created more jobs than the USA in 2025 even though it’s 10 times larger. They added 181,000 jobs and we added 201,200
You need to clone Carney and send him over here to Australia. Please.
If we start exporting prime ministers, we’ll have to negotiate a trade agreement first.
Canada is already busy signing enough of those.

Polls aren’t journalism. Never were.
They’re thermometers... not the diagnosis.
But if several thermometers suddenly spike at the same time, it usually means the room just got hotter.
That’s what makes these numbers interesting.

I understand the frustration a lot of people are feeling right now.
But groups like the G7 work because even when countries disagree, they still stay at the table together.
Diplomacy is often about managing differences rather than excluding people.
The USA is a threat to many in the G7 so I do not think this will age well. Imperialistic policies and actions quickening in pace.
