Jordan Peterson: Are older Liberal-voting Canadians selfish — or blind?

How best to sum up the current Canadian political situation? “Mark Carney looks like Paul Martin — and baby boomers think it’s still the 1990’s.” Their children, however — and their grandchildren — know nothing of such Liberal leaders. They live in the current decade. Consequently, an unprecedented divide now exists between Canadians this election cycle, segregated by age.


Older Canadians are likely to be property owners.

How do you maintain home equity in Canada?

By keeping the mass-immigration floodgates open to sustain the housing shortage.

Sure the Liberals have made superficial reductions to migrant intake but it’s just smoke and mirrors.

You don’t as Carney has done hire on a mass-immigration lunatic like Mark Wiseman as your advisor if you don’t intend to further impoverish Canadians by flooding the country with incompatible cultures.

Doug Ford’s campaign manager accuses Poilievre camp of ‘campaign malpractice’

Leading Conservative campaign strategist Kory Teneycke is taking aim at his own party, accusing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his team of squandering a big lead.

“I know it’s uncomfortable for people to hear that said out loud, but it’s in every poll and every poll aggregator, the numbers are the numbers, and saying that you don’t believe in polls, if you’re managing a campaign, it’s delusional,” Teneycke told CTV Power Play host Vassy Kapelos in an interview on Tuesday.

A Tale of Two Ridings: Why Carney, Poilievre’s Neighbouring Regions Are the Only Safe Leaders’ Seats

OTTAWA—With the federal election shaping up to be a two-way race between the Conservatives and Liberals, front-runners Pierre Poilievre and Mark Carney are also the only party leaders whose seats are considered safe at this point in the campaign.

The ridings of the two leaders are also right next to each other, but with different characteristics that, together with the political dynamics, make up for the stark difference in candidate choice.

David Staples: Was Mark Carney’s jet fuel deal simply a political grift?

Mark Carney boasted his billion-dollar jet fuel deal was a “fantastic opportunity” for his business, the investment firm Brookfield. But Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre now calls that same deal an example of “crony capitalism. ”

Poilievre accuses his political opponent of being a “political grifter” using political influence to make himself and his investor friends rich while driving up costs for the poorest Canadians.

Latest Nanos projections put Liberals in minority territory, but many ridings too close to call

The latest seat projections from Nanos Research have put Mark Carney’s Liberals in minority government territory – down 17 ridings from the previous week.

According to the organization, the Liberals would have taken at least 156 seats if the election were held April 6, when the projections were prepared. That’s down from 173 seats in the last projections from March 30.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, meanwhile, would have won at least 114 ridings, up eight from the previous projections.

People are waking up to the Carney fraud.

Some Conservative supporters question whether the polls can be trusted

Outside a convention centre where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre held a rally in Brampton, Ont., Wednesday evening, two of his supporters unfurled a long white banner that read: “Do you believe the polls?”

“If he’s not going to win, we’re going to lose Canada,” said one of the supporters named Sarah, who didn’t want to give her last name, and wore a sweater with the same message.

“Look at the crowd coming out for Poilievre! We cannot believe the polls are right.”

Foreign interference tactics in Canada always changing, says target

The Chinese Communist Party is always changing the way it interferes in elections in Canada and other countries, says former Steveston-Richmond MP Kenny Chiu.

The Conservative party politician was the target of a smear campaign during the 2021 election, which took place when many Chinese-language media outlets in Canada labelled him “anti-Chinese” and a “race traitor.”

Carney ‘did a terrible job’ as Bank of England governor, says former British PM

Lizz Truss, the shortest-serving prime minister in British history, said Mark Carney did “a terrible job” as the Bank of England’s governor and blamed him for “a lot of the problems” that led to her quick departure from 10 Downing Street in 2022, even though he’d resigned two years earlier.

‘They’ve cratered’: For NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh this election is do or die

Under Jagmeet Singh , Canada’s New Democratic Party has successes its leftist supporters can be proud of.

A national dental care program, pharmacare and anti-replacement-worker legislation are all in line with the party’s social democratic vision of governance.

But they came about in a curious way, as the NDP’s policy reward in a tit-for-tat arrangement that kept the governing Liberal party in power well past the end of its popular support.

He was only ever interested in his pension.

A wedge has emerged on religious freedom. Pierre Poilievre is on the right side of it

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is making a strategic play for the all-important 905 region of Ontario by talking about … Quebec.

It’s subtle, and so far, it hasn’t resonated much beyond French-language media and ethnic media in Ontario. But a wedge is starting to emerge between Mr. Poilievre and Liberal Leader Mark Carney on laïcité: on Quebec’s Bill 21, and where the two parties stand on freedom of religious expression. And that might matter, if only as a matter of principle in some of the most diverse ridings in the country, where the Conservatives have to do well if they want a shot at forming government.

There is a strain of westerner who will defend to the death a Mohammedan’s right to slit your throat.

John Ivison: Carney’s rosy energy promises meet the Liberals’ dismal record

I’m reading my six-year-old son Lewis Carroll’s classic Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, with all its delightful nonsense talk about shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.

But, in the words of the Red Queen, life through the looking glass is “as sensible as a dictionary” when ranked against what is happening in the real world.

Liberal promises just keep happening to intersect with Carney’s business interests

After Liberal Leader Mark Carney announced that Canada’s future lay in “prefabricated and modular housing,” online critics noted that his former company just happens to be a major player in the modular housing industry.

This week, Carney provided more details of his plan to start a new government agency, Build Canada Homes, tasked with constructing 500,000 homes every year. As Carney told reporters on Tuesday, most of those homes would be prefabricated.

“Prefabricated and modular housing will catalyze a productivity boom,” he said.
