Which pollster do you most trust?

The one that agrees with me of course!

He’s certainly got a solid finance pedigree, and has worked at senior levels for multiple large investment funds. This guy will be able to talk business, and big deals, as well as international macroeconomics. PM Carney will probably be able to delegate trade negotiations to him quite effectively.

Then why are the BQ up in arms against this appointment. Wonder what he did to piss them off so much, corrected someone's Quebecois French with Parisian French?

He’s very pro-immigration, from an economics standpoint. To the extent that he’s said we need substantially higher immigration over the rest of the century, and Quebec’s dislike of the notion be damned.

If he were being named immigration minister or something it would be more concerning, but as ambassador to the U.S. that’ll largely be out of his arcs.

Angus Reid is about as trust worthy and reliable as the cbc to be impartial.

They were reporting Team Blue leading after PP got chosen as leader like the rest of the polling pack, so unless you have evidence showing some clear bias compared to other firms, I’m good seeing them as one data point in a sea of pollsters of all kinds.

Poilievre is supposed to be pretty intelligent, but I wonder if he can grasp more than abstractly that the most useful people in politics are not careerists who like to play incessant political gotcha games and are obsessed with intricate parliamentary procedural manoeuvres. It would be so easy for the CPC to be the natural home of "serious people"

Well put.

on matters of money and infrastructure. Can there be anyone at all that he trusts advising him how bad his instincts are?

Supplementary questions, given there’s gotta be brains & talent about (including his new campaign manager, who sounds like a true believer who’s been willing to work with others in different jersey colours): will PP listen, and if he hears what’s said, will he do it?

The question is, then, are party members or most of them the reasonable type?

It only takes 1 or 2 to be “reasonable” at this point
