And look at where they are in the polls. No, Canada is not going the Trump way.

Just remember to vote to make sure this never happens. The conservatives are pulling this card and must absolutely lose for it.

Ill never trust a poll. A poll can say whatever you want it to say.

I don't trust polls with my vote or my voting choice, but I do use polls as a gauge for my optimism. Everyone must ALWAYS vote, no matter what the polls say. The more important the election, the more important it is to ALWAYS VOTE.

But I am very optimistic, and I believe everybody will vote.

Conservatives just went up again in the polls. People need to get out and vote. Canada's at a crossroads where it can either be a beacon of good government, human rights, respect for science, environmental responsibility, and acknowledgment of past injustices, or it can become a fascist anti-science, history-denying environmental wasteland where people have their rights stripped and are disappeared for their political views, as in the USA. We have to make the right choice while it is still possible for us to do so.

We - and I cannot overstate this enough - do not want to follow the fascistic path laid out by the GOP.

Poilievre went up in the polls again too. Seems a good number of Canadians look at what's happening in the USA and want that here. Either that or a good number of Canadians are just as ignorant about what they're voting for as many MAGA people were in the USA.

As an immigrant Canadian whose whole life has been here for 20 years, I don't intend to stop objecting to Israel's genocide just because fascist PP has no ideas except "copy the Nazis down south".

The Tory leader reeks of treason.

Nah, I'm sure he has a perfectly valid reason for not wanting to get security clearance.

All I needed to hear to cement my vote for somebody other than him.
