I would guess that Pierre's internal polling is seeing a significant shift for the Liberals as well. His tweets and those of his flying monkeys in caucus have a distinct air of panic. Maybe it's the Hogue report but I feel like Pierre focused for so long on Trudeau resigning that he has nothing left now that Trudeau is gone and he's floundering. The election of Trump in the US and his typical nastiness is also showing Canadians that Pierre is much the same in bringing gutter politics into Canada and that won't go over well. We've been inundated for 2 years with the hate and misogyny and anger and I think Canadians want to go back to boring and competent and that is Carney. I also think that's why Pierre has hopped back on the gender bandwagon instead of being quiet. Re-energize that part of his base so he doesn't lose them to Mad Max. We will see soon enough.
Happy to have found your newsletter. I gave up on 'the news' in recent times (out of frustration) and I've needed knowledgeable Canadian writers that can explain things to me in a way I can grok. Thank you.

This is the best explainer I have read yet, thanks.
(I recently watched a podcast by Grenier and Fournier that was ostensibly about this and I have to say that came away with nothing useful.)
Is the abacus shift significant statistically speaking? I’m wondering if it’s more than noise
