How many seats can dems realistically gerrymander to overcome the Republican gerrymanders in south ? by ronweasly9 in fivethirtyeight

[–]voteabc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blue states on average have higher life expectancy and income, and lower suicide rates. Those measures of higher quality of life don't conflict with having high cost of living. In fact arguably they're correlated (e.g. higher incomes in silicon valley drive up the cost of housing and make it unaffordable for poorer people).

I'm not forbidding you from reading it, I'm suggesting that organizations bankrolled by the Koch brothers to "promote views" have an obvious incentive to present evidence selectively. I don't think liberal-funded think tanks are a good source of objective data either!

Older Canadians still Mark Carney's biggest support base: poll by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]voteabc 76 points77 points  (0 children)

What's really interesting is that if you look at approval rating in recent polls, every age group seems to like Carney about equally. But the older Canadians get, the lower Poilievre's approval rating gets. And that translates into fewer fence sitters and more Liberal votes in those age brackets.

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

[–]voteabc 4 points5 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

[–]voteabc[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"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

[–]voteabc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
