I believe the NDP has an important place in Canada’s political landscape, and its collapse would not serve Canadians well. The party also has strong MPs, like Charlie Angus, who are genuinely committed to their work and the people they represent. However, the NDP's main challenge lies at the top, with a series of poor decisions made by its leadership. Once considered the "social conscience" of Parliament, the party now seems more interested to be a left-wing populist party.
Let's see. YOU who live in Kanata, Ontario, are talking about a man you have NEVER met, never interacted with and I, who HAS met Don Davies of Vancouver, British Columbia, interacted with him AND voted for him - am supposed to believe YOU?
I found Mr. Davies to be a good man, someone who actually cares about his constituents, who communicates with his constituents, who KNOWS the area AND the people he represents.
But I guess because he is not screaming on the steps of Parliament Hill seems to be 'unremarkable' to YOU, a resident of Ontario.
He’s a poll denialist who slandered good people (and also me) with false claims because he doesn’t like the polls
You know who else is very popular - more popular than Don Davies - in their local constituency? Pierre Poilievre, and I don’t have a problem calling him an asshole
And I have no problem calling YOU an asshole. Polls are wrong lots of times as we witnessed from the US elections recently. If you what to whine about Ontario politicians, feel free. But you have NO FUCKING CLUE dude about BC anything!
The US polls did a really good job in the last election. For that matter, it’s been a long time since there was a really significant miss in the actual polling numbers in a major Western election
What misses is predictions that people make based on a lack of understanding of margins of error
So the polls are probably a pretty accurate reflection of where things stand *right at this moment*. Doesn’t mean they won’t change. They almost certainly will, the same way the score in a sports game isn’t likely finish the same as it was halfway through the game. Doesn’t mean the halftime score was “wrong”. And if a team didn’t like where it was at, it was up to them to do something about it, not complain that it’s incorrect
What are your thoughts on Vancouver Centre where Liberal Hedy Fry seems to be overall ineffectual, simply be floating along for the ride and Avi Lewis a younger smarter contender from the NDP? From people I talk to, many are tired of Hedy Fry. This could make for an interesting turnover.
Yeah. The models have a tendency to break at the NDP’s current level of support in some polls. Seats like singh’s seat and Ashton’s seat are not safe for reasons models won’t be able to comprehend but the Liberals flipping seats like London fanshawne, Victoria and Windsor west is very unlikely in this type of environment with carney as their leader. And the NDP getting ludicrously low level of support in some of the more competitive Saskatchewan seats is unlikely.
I had hope with Trudeaus plan for 2015 to be the last FPTP election.
Last time I voted Liberal was 1974.
Will vote Liberal this time.
Too dangerous to elect Pollievre.
Riding I am in NDP has no chance.

Hilarious!

He’s a Federal politician and he can get scrutiny from anybody

Funny how the majority of the polls in the US had Kamala Harris WINNING the presidency.
Maybe you could try looking at the poll from the Des Moines Register that had a 100% accuracy rating until THIS election.
If you want to kiss trump’s butt, feel free. Not happening with me, EVER!
The polls were within 2% on average, Selzer didn’t have a 100% accuracy rate, and I correctly predicted that that poll was dogshit

The Cons are in second and Hedy Fry’s up ~10 on the Cons and ~20 on the NDP

Pretty insightful take here. Wouldn't surprise me if this is what has happened.
