Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

[lenaitch]

Was just up in South River On. 2 bdrm apartment $2500 a month. Hard to see that being good for Trudeau. If I was him Id hold on as long as possible

Well, I mean anyplace with its own distillery . . .

Parry Sound-Muskoka historically leans pretty heavily blue so I'm not sure its much of an indicator.

I can remember when Mactier was a place people moved to when there was no place else to go. Now it’s a playground for foreign millionaire cottagers…

The surrounding area perhaps seeing as it is in Muskoka but the town - not so much. It's better than it used to be but that's not saying much.

Arctic icebreakers with the Americans? Sounds like we’re immediately tacitly surrendering some Arctic sovereignty over the Northwest Passage in a form of tribute to get through the next few years…

IF that's why the deal got dealed, that's one read, for sure.

That and you can see the E-7 Wedgetail and V-280 Valor (nTACS) in there as well…and that’s not the end of the list of things that Canada is coming to Jesus on and getting…

...entirely of its own accord…

I’m pessimistic on this, but the Americans already don’t recognize our sovereignty there to the degree that we claim it. That will only get worse under the next administration.

Most people were pretty sure that was going to happen

Possible but improbable. They could still be relegated to 3rd or 4th though. The difference with this election is the other leader isn’t exactly rocking the favourability index.

Let's have an election and find out.

We will. I just don’t think they will be relegated to the size of van complement.

like I said at worse 3rd or 4th at best opposition in a minority situation. My guess is somewhere in the middle.

I think Trudeau can and may win.

But, it's all speculation. I'm ready for an election.

 

[Brad Sallows]

One course of action to gain recognition of sovereignty is to pay the bills to assert it strongly.

I think Trudeau can and may win.

I doubt it. Maybe he sees something I don’t

Spring at the earliest. The bloc and NDP will keep playing their support but support games until then.

I don’t even think it’ll be that early. Any party not the CPC will want to drag it out as much as possible.

That’s an interesting take, given everything in the past year or so. Why do you think he may win?

He is a good campaigner, and China will dump massive amounts against PP.

Well I guess it’ll be China in one corner vs India in the other.

India will back off, if Canada keeps arresting Khalistani-implicated Sikhs.

Two sides of the same coin.

Two sides of the same coin.

Agreed.

He is a good campaigner ...

That he may have been in the past, anyway, but I think he may be too far behind as a brand to catch up.

... and China will dump massive amounts against PP.

Maybe, but 1) people are paying a bit more attention for that sort of thing these days, and 2) barring events, PP's lead is his to hold - although I suspect it'll shrink a bit as any election day gets closer.
