Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

[ArmyRick]

I cannot join another political party while I'm still a member of the Canadian future party.

Them dudes?

The Canadian Future Party - Not Left. Not Right. Forward! Your Centrist Political Alternative in Canada.

A new centrist political movement focused on evidence-based policy, democratic values, and real solutions for Canada’s future. Join the Canadian Future Party today.

In all seriousness, I would trust them much more than the PPC or the current version of the Marxist, err, I mean NDP.

Yup.

And granted, the LPC Carney is pretty much owning the center right now, so I'm not displeased with working with a small party with no chance of winning, but Carney wont be PM forever and I have no confidence the CPC ever moves back to the center of the political spectrum. As such, for the day Carney is no longer PM, and the left flank of the party reclaims the reins, there will be a party there ready to stake the claim to the center of the political spectrum.

working with a small party with no chance of winning

Circumstances can change things real fast, a good leader can exploit an opportunity. Having spoken to a former PPC candidate he told me more or less "The PPC could have seats by now but Max made the party about sticking it to the conservatives rather than getting a new voice in parliament..."

there will be a party there ready to stake the claim to the center of the political spectrum.

There is ALWAYS an opportunity for a new party to squeeze in. Last years election showed Canadians are not really too sure who to follow.

But to bring this back to Canada...do we benefit more from high fertilizer costs pumping up our economy compared to the cost of food?

If sask can increase production of potash yes, with Saudi out of the picture, and ghe war preventing ukraine from exporting, america has a choice of Canada, Morocco or China..

Canadian PM says close economic ties with US have become a ‘weakness’

Mark Carney says Canada must build economic ties with other countries amid shifting relationship with the United States.

As for high prices for fertilizer, I wonder some shifts in how fields are managed might be in order. Put a field into a cycle with a crop that requires minimal or no fertilizer and then raze it to add nutrients more naturally. Smaller yields, but perhaps more resilient?

I'd be surprised if the Experimental Farm in Ottawa wasn't doing testing around that very thing this season.

I think crop rotation has already been extensively researched for many years now?

heirloom varieties perhaps but likely come with low outputs to go with their low inputs

 

[MilEME09]

Hydroponic operations would suffer the most as they rely of mixing fertilizer and minerals into the water to sustain growth

Soy and other pulses like lentils are good for that. The rhizomes on their roots naturally fix atmospheric nitrogen and insert it into the soil in a way plants can use. Thats one of the reasons soy is in our rotation.

Alfalfa as well.

Federal Tracker: Carney Liberals Stretch Lead to 12 Points

April 20, 2026 (Toronto, ON) – The latest Weekly Federal Tracker from Liaison Strategies shows the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, widening its lead to 12 percentage points over the Conservatives. If a federal election were held today among decided and leaning voters, the...

The one thing I'm going to really enjoy about the majority is the death of daily polling averages.

I get it,7 years of minority parliaments where any day could result in the government falling got the polling companies used to the sugar high of parties and the public wanting to know how things would be at the starting line of any campaign. But there is a majority government now, it's not falling unless it wants to fall and I don't see that happening anytime soon, because it would probably screw over the floor crossers, and I don't see Carney as being quite so ruthless just yet.

I'm going to be very happy when we all just collectively tell Nik Nanos, David Coletto, Frank Graves, whoever runs Leger that we just don't need them right now, especially as talking heads, and to go sit in the corner until 2028.

Pierre is very clearly the problem for the CPC, and it's dragging the party down for anyone not a diehard member. His favorability is at a standstill, while his unfavourability continues moving in the wrong direction.

Nik Nanos can just leave the building altogether. For good.

Will probably be the last one for a while being posted by me, just wanted a snapshot that includes before and after the by-elections.

Frank Graves’ occasional drunk Twitter crash outs can be entertaining.

For the record, I'm not targetting you on this.

It's the entire Canadian media landscape, they have turned polling companies and those who run them into rock stars. Daily polls being dished out like the penny press of old, figures like 338 Fournier and Grenier becoming household names.

It's going to be nice to get a break from all of them. Not because they are bad people....generally, but because it's just unhealthy as a democracy to be focusing on daily polls. Not every day is a campaign. It wasn't great when Trudeau was at his lowest, and it's not great now that Pierre is at his.

A bit broader context from Angus Reid ...

58% of past CPC voters stand by Poilievre’s long-term leadership, but increasing numbers say he should go - Angus Reid Institute

Number of past Conservative voters calling for a new leader has risen significantly since last year April 20, 2026 – The erosion of the standing of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons has raised questions of the leadership of Pierre Poilievre to a new volume. The Liberals may have...

... with a split (overall) on floor crossing:

How it was done:

The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from April 15-17, 2026, among a randomized sample of 1,646 Canadian adults. Respondents are drawn from the Angus Reid Forum, a large-scale online panel developed to include Canadian residents in each of the 343 federal ridings in Canada and representative of the Canadian population by age, gender, family income, ethnic status and education. The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationwide according to region, gender, age, household income, and education, based on the Canadian census. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. The survey was self-commissioned and paid for by ARI.
