I wonder how the latest tariffs will influence the polls?

It’s gonna be painful no matter what & Pierre is proposing a “quick negotiation” that to me sounds like a - pardon me - total bend over

Of course, there are multiple outside factors you are ignoring in a Leafs-Sens series:

Leafs have home ice advantage in both rinks;

Linus Ullmark has never won a Game 7 or advanced past the first round.

The Sens "vets", outside Giroux, aren't top-line guys.

P.S.I already have told Locked on Senators I'd donate to Rogers House if Sens win, so sportsmanship...it's grand.

P.P.S. Even if Sens win, 4-1 lifetime.

The poll numbers you have for Ontario are all pretty much within the margin of error. Given the sample sizes, they could easily be +/- 5-6 %, 19 times out of 20. And then if you have enough polls, one out of 20 should be more “wrong” than +/- 5-6%.

What I really would love to see is a dedicated poll for Carleton. I got one landline phone call, so who knows? Could be an internal poll of course.

"If you take Abacus’s BC numbers and Research Co’s Atlantic tab and the Angus Reid Quebec number where the Bloc still gets 30% plus this Mainstreet number with the Leger GTA tab, plus assume the Conservatives lose nothing in SaskyToba and Alberta, and you tilt your head at a 77 degree angle and then fart to the rhythm of Billie Jean while watching a compilation of Jose Mourinho interviews, you can convince yourself that we kind of, sort of, maybe have a close race." - Pure Gold!

Well, that was entertaining: politics, polling, hockey and "fart to the rhythm of Billy Jean." Well done!

Hey Evan, I don’t think Kenora will count as the GTA. Cheers.

I am aware - the point of that sentence is to list a bunch of seats outside the GTA that would flip if the Leger tabs were correct

The CPC numbers are what they are and I would not expect them to change much.

How likely is it that the NDP can scratch and claw back to 15%? That is what the CPC needs right now.
