Looks like the most productive part of society votes Conservative.

Would be interesting to overlay that with salary ranges.

Canadian columnist in Time magazine, January of this year ....

It's Pierre Poilievre's Canada Now

The Trump-like Conservative leader is riding an anti-establishment wave—and will almost certainly become PM this year.

Canada's Pierre Poilievre Should Step Aside

The Conservative Party leader won a by-election and will return to parliament. But he is still deeply unpopular, writes David Moscrop.

Factor in what will the new (or old on repeat?) NDP look like? They have a chance to steal back Ontario Left votes.

NDP is broke. And leaderless, but more importantly, broke. They didn't reach 10 percent of voters in the majority of ridings and thus will not be getting a refund on campaign expenses. The NDP, normally broke after an election, are in survival mode now. They might not be solvent by the end of this parliament, never mind anytime soon.

Best thing for conservative voters to do now if they want an election? Donate to the NDP so they can clear their massive debt load.

And the over 65+ crowd, which was the only cohort nationally by numbers that majority of them voted (or were duped?) into Carney, are getting older and to say it politely, thinning out.

Under 30 went hard for LPC. All this, the youth will bring the CPC to victory is nonsense. They CPC got trounced with the youth vote.

Carney does not have the personal charm Trudeau had (and even that wore thin after a decade), he does not do well (or appear confident) at his press conferences and that is going to wear thin on Canadian swing voters, combined with Pierre hammering him (BTW, don't be delusional, unless something drastic happens, Pierre getting through his CPC leadership review).

My thoughts on this can be summed up the Liberal Carney Catle was built on loose sand and the foundation will erode quickly.

Cue the Poilievre haters/Liberal defenders....

Carney doesn't need to be good. He has never needed to be good. He just needed to be better than PP, which he has continued to achieve.

We probably have another 3 yrs of Carney and the Liberals, way to early to bet on the next election. 9 months ago i would have bet on the CPC

That paraphrases one of Rafe Mair’s axioms of politics: in politics, you don’t have to be a 9 or a 10. If your opponent is a 3, you just have to be a 4 or a 5.

As for the NDP, I won’t count them out yet. Carney will piss off a bunch of the lefties that voted for him when they figure out he’s a banker and a capitalist. It might take a while with their leadership and financial issues though.

Possible, but they'd need both a good leader AND a ton o' dough.

Is the bar set a bit too low for him?

I suspect you failed to properly estimate the situation, my opinion. Time will tell, especially if we end in another election real soon and it doesn't go the way Carney hopes for.

Reminder it was 43% vote share for LPC and 41% vote share for the CPC, with the Mainstream media carrying Carney big time (gotta protect your funding/subsidies). Thats a hair difference.

As for the NDP, I won’t count them out yet. Carney will piss off a bunch of the lefties that voted for him when they figure out he’s a banker and a capitalist. It might take a while with their leadership and financial issues though.

Yup, very much agreed. The marxist minded are not going to be happy with Carney for long, if they are at all.

Is the bar set a bit too low for him?

Yup, the bar is at floor level for Carney when looking at CBC, CTV, Global, etc. I give credit to Toronto Sun for being an MSM outlet that hammers down on Carney. Take note Warren Kinsella (very Liberal, but no Trudeau fan) is already starting to sharply criticize Carney. I respect how Kinsella calls things out, he damn near predicted the Liberal leadership race and the election, months before it happened. He was Chretien's war room manager.

lol, I question the ‘knowledge’ of all these ‘experts’.
The Toronto Stock Exchange is outperforming ALL of the major US indexes - NYSE, NASDAQ and S&P 500.
So they have ALL lost significant money by not keeping their investments in Canada or not moving their money into Canada.

The NDP could be polling at 30 percent. They still wouldn't be able to afford an election

Why would we be in an election?

I was going to say that the NDP would support this parliament until they are debt free, but with current election laws, we need to have one within 4 years.
