Canada has a bad case of treating politics like a hockey game.
I just want less corruption, low taxes, public safety, high trust communities, personal freedoms & prosperity…
Provide that, and I don’t care which “team” wins.
@WSOnlineNews She isn't the example to use for the point you're trying to make even though I do agree with the sentiment. Michel MA would be the one that should never have gotten passed the "sniff test". Imo.
@M_Johnston1 Please... What policy did they not like from the conservatives that would negatively effect their riding? What policy did they like from the Liberals that would positively effect their riding? All they said was a bunch of word salad. These were obviously selfish decisions.
The Liberals didn’t lure Conservatives to their side of the House w promises of Cabinet posts. They all left of their own accord. Poilievre needs to ask himself why, and try to address that before others leave too. 8 are said to be considering it.
The story of the by-elections was a total COLLAPSE of Conservative voters❗️
University-Rosedale
Went from 14,624 to 3,843
Scarborough Southwest
Went from 16,652 to 5,300
Terrebonne
Went from 10,961 to 1,551
Where did Conservative voters go?
This is alarming for the CPC.
Dear Canada,
The American People love and cherish you.
What we don't like is your Prime Minister bad mouthing us while he and his family live in, study in, work in, own in, and profit from the United States.
Get rid of this globalist turd.
@BagelPolling Of course, and the strategy would've been to vote bloc not split between them and LBC. But that didn't happen. Why would a cpc voter vote for both the bloc and the lbc. This is such a weak argument... Yes, yes, yes nuance... That's it..
@BagelPolling Like I said she had a conservative platform so unlikely. Also, don't change the goal posts to Terrebonne. The cpc vote collapsed there too and the bloc didn't reap the benefits. Don't tell me you think they would've voted for the LBC in Quebec... That's nonsense. Same pattern.
@SLester48896 Like I said they very likely voted Critchley. Just like in Terrebonne a lot of CPC voters voted for BQ/LPC to stop the other from winning.
@BagelPolling So you're saying when the Liberal vote collapsed in Battle River-Crowfoot by election, that was a HUGE swing away from the Liberals? Because that would be foolish too.
@BagelPolling Toronto by-elections (safe Lib): Libs rose +8.4 pts in Scarborough SW & held steady in U-Rosedale, while CPC dropped ~12 pts both times & NDP gained.
Same dynamic, flipped colors. Low turnout proves nothing about CPC apathy.
Who's coping?
@BagelPolling That's cope.
Liberal vote didn't shift to Critchley. In the general they got 11.7, in the by-election 4.1%. Even if every Liberal voter went to her, it still wouldn't explain her 9.8%. She mostly took disgruntled CPC votes. The Liberal vote didn't flip, it vanished with turnout.
@acoyne Show me an economist who can regularly make accurate economic predictions and I’ll show you someone well-educated. But you won’t be able to. Voodoo degree.
@BagelPolling Its no different than what happened in the by-election in Battle River-Crowfoot. Pierre got almost the same as the former MP in the general election, while the liberal vote collapsed in the by-election with a much lower turn out. Did you come to the same conclusion then?
