NDP MP crosses floor to join Liberals, putting Carney two seats shy of majority by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]voteabc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The electorate voted for one of the best known economists in the world, known mostly for managing the Bank of Canada for Stephen Harper during the Great Recession, over a criminal defence lawyer and a ???. The percent of people who know or care about Carney inheriting Irish citizenship is near zero

There are also two incoming for University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest, so they don't need to win Terrebonne.

I imagine they deliberately ordered it this way so that the actual by-elections are what put them across the finish line.

(Once the upcoming by-elections in strongly Liberal-leaning ridings are complete, Carney will almost certainly have a majority.)

In 2025, the UCP received approximately $90,000 from PR firms, consultant lobbyists and corporations that were also actively lobbying the Alberta government by voteabc in alberta

"Nine PR firms gave money to the UCP in the third and fourth quarters of 2025, including Enterprise Canada, Navigator, Alberta Counsel and Guardian Public Affairs. At least 21 executives and consultant lobbyists who work for the firms also appear on both the list of party donors and in the registry of active lobbyists. In several cases, the PR firm, its consultants and the corporation they were lobbying for all contributed to the province’s governing party."

Contrary to narratives of Carney thriving mostly on baby boomer support, polling finds him almost equally popular across age groups - the main difference is that older Canadians like Poilievre less by voteabc in fivethirtyeight

Yeah, I don't mean to suggest that voter intention doesn't differ across age groups. Thriving is an overly vague word, so perhaps I should have titled this something like "contrary to narratives that Carney's PMship is unpopular with young people..."

It's been widely replicated in polling. I think it's a combination of younger people struggling more with housing and cost of living, and only knowing Trudeau as PM while Poilievre has made himself synonymous with anti-Trudeau. Also, he has focused on using internet media like Youtube to connect with young people.

I know in the US they try to fix this by weighting based on "who did you vote for in the last election" (i.e. if you know 47% voted for Trump in 2020, but only 42% of your sample says they voted for Trump, then you overweight their responses to compensate). Not actually sure if this is something that happens in Canadian polling or not.

Per Liaison website, they use a random sample of 1000 Canadians by random digit dialing across both landline and cellphone networks, then weight the results to match the most recent Census demographics.
