I live in Alberta and I can honesty say I’ve never heard a single person ever mention O’Toole’s name. The conservatives are going to get thrashed in this election. It should be glorious.
Do you actually think they will make inroads in AB? QC and ON I can see.
They are going to win basically every riding here. It’s lol alberta. I bet overall though they drop a lot of support nationwide.
I thought this was pretty funny:
O’Toole is looking to go down as the Tax And Spend Conservative. This platform feels to me like a tacit acknowledgment that Cons have nothing to offer Canadians, it’s just like “Hey, we’re the Liberals but not as much.” I imagine they are hoping that this going to somehow capture tens of thousands of votes from “moderates” in the middle, but why wouldn’t those people just vote for the Liberals again?

Hard to say how much this is a sign of things to come nationally, but Liberals blowing a huge lead in Nova Scotia is definitely NOT GREAT, BOB
Nova Scotia politics is weird though. It’s the last place the PC brand carries on, the province is literally owned by like 5 wealth families that exert an insane amount of influence, and their economy is more or less defined by being a have not province. The fact that the conservatives won by promising massive health care spending tells you that it’s all topsy turvy out there. The O’Toole cons are going to try the same thing I guess, but Big Spending Conservative will not appeal to Albertans and Ontarians the way it appeals to Nova Scotians. Nova Scotians are not as culture war driven as other parts of Canada. They mostly try to get along with everyone.
From what I’ve read this was driven by local healthcare issues which won’t play nationally.
Half a week into a federal election and like 5 posts.
Canada and the US are different places. 
yeah not much to say unless bigt2k4 starts posting here except fuck the liberals and trudeau, fuck the PCs even more (sorry, not you chads), and let’s hope for a minority government where the NDP controls the balance of power.

Thankfully this is the most likely outcome.

No registered NDP candidate for my riding as of now again, think they’re just throwing the towel in again.

Don’t they usually just run someone everywhere, even if it’s just some college kid? Like in Quebec in the big Jack Layton Orange Wave they got a teenager elected or something like that.
Half the ridings in Alberta have no ndp candidate.

Same here. No Green candidate either, but that’s much less of a surprise.
Our candidate from 2019 got moved over to Ottawa Centre to try and take Catherine McKenna’s old seat.
Didn’t Albert just have an NDP premier? Is it really that futile? I don’t expect them to actually win any seats but still it’s an interesting dilemma - on the one hand running nobody sends the signal that you’re a second rate party without serious national aspirations, on the other hand running people just for optics incinerates cash that could be better spent elsewhere.
Poll finds 100% of liberal voters would vote NDP if they thought it had a chance at winning.

That’s pretty funny.
Today’s polls are showing the election is on track for a Con minority government. What a fuck up by Captain Socks.
Ya this is an absolute catastrophe. Fucking clown Trudeau.
If he grabs one of these antivaxxer “protesters” by the throat, Jean Chretien style, Trudeau might save it. Something to distract from the general (justified) impression that the Liberals are a bunch of milquetoast do nothings.
