It’s a fascinating political petri dish under the microscope by parties, pollsters and pundits alike.
Candidates and campaign volunteers will tell you what really matters to voters in the Toronto-St. Paul’s federal byelection is: housing, the high cost of groceries and staples, or how to tackle acts of rising antisemitism in a midtown riding that has the fifth largest Jewish population in the country.
But ask voters on the street, and they’ll tell you what really matters is Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre.
They’re trying to spin that a win for the Libs in next week’s byelection is simultaneously a national endorsement of the worst Prime Minister ever and a repudiation of Poilievre.
But it’s an ultra safe riding in the heart of Canada’s most progressively stupid city.
The only story will be a loss for Junior’s candidate.
