Another poll Saturday.
The needle doesn’t move. The Liberals are in the driver’s seat, out in front and steady and the clock ticks.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre hammers away at the issues. Hammers away at the Liberal record.
Some Conservatives tell him to be like the Liberals. Trump, Trump and more Trump. Forget about the rest.
Poilievre stays the course.

In an incident last month that may soon be considered ominous foreshadowing, Prime Minister Mark Carney was pressed by the media about his financial holdings and the ethical conundrums that they present. To change the subject, Carney boasted about his recently acquired security clearance, and claimed it was irresponsible for the leader of the Opposition not to obtain one himself.
This criticism flirted with the conspiracy theory that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would fail a background check, which ignores the fact that Poilievre received security clearance after becoming a cabinet minister in 2013, demonstrating that there had been no concerns by security and intelligence officials about his loyalty to Canada or compromising foreign connections.

General Keith Kellogg suggests UK and France could lead western zone of control in interview with The Times
President Trump’s envoy to Ukraine has said the country could be partitioned “almost like Berlin after World War Two” as part of a peace deal.
General Keith Kellogg, a leading figure in US efforts to end the three-year war, suggested that British and French troops could adopt zones of control in the west of the country as part of a “reassurance force”, with Russia’s army in the occupied east. Between them would be Ukrainian forces and a demilitarised zone.
When Bella Bautista, who identifies as transgender, announced in February that he would be competing in the Miss Georgia USA pageant, he went on a press tour of sorts to trumpet his participation.
In an interview with Rough Draft Atlanta, Bautista spoke about how his participation would be subversive.
“I’m going into a space where I’m not sure how the treatment or reaction is going to be, but all I can hope for and pray for is that I’m treated equally and I’m scored fairly,” Bautista said.
If you were in need of a slightly cracked purple iPhone, a Cuban sandwich grill or a green camo PS4 controller that “works great,” there was a time when Hamilton’s buy-and-sell Facebook group was the place to be — to be specific, any time before the evening of Jan. 10, 2023.
That’s the moment when the group made an abrupt — and decisive — break with used blenders and baby clothes. In the last gasp of normalcy, someone posted pictures of a life jacket for a small dog for sale that was swiftly overshadowed, two minutes later, by a post with a photo featuring Donald Trump in a garish yellow outfit.
The Trump administration is once again engaging with the Iranian regime, this time in Oman, to encourage it to end its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs the way Libya’s late leader Muammar Ghaddafi did. As US President Donald J. Trump transparently put it: “I would love to make a deal with them without bombing them.”
In recent weeks, the Trump administration has called for direct talks with Iran, in the apparent belief that a fresh deal — tougher, broader and more binding than the Obama administration’s 2105 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — could prevent Iran from an imminent nuclear weapons breakout.
Montreal police are investigating an act of vandalism after windows were smashed and graffiti sprayed at Concordia University’s Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies on Thursday night.
The incident took place around 9 p.m. on April 10 at the university’s building in downtown Montreal, though police were alerted through a non-emergency 911 call several hours later, according to Montreal police spokesperson Véronique Dubuc.
Ahead of the federal election, top executives in Canada’s oil and gas industry say they are pleased to hear support for building new export pipelines from the two leading parties. However, Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s stance on this issue has been branded “inconsistent” and “purposefully vague” by CEOs and leading industry figures.
Canada’s federal election is set for April 28. A Leger poll earlier this week found 52 per cent see Carney’s Liberals winning, compared to 27 per cent favouring Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
Eighty-five per cent of Canadians say they’re proud to be Canadian — up five percentage points from nearly one year ago, according to a new poll.
The Leger poll conducted for the Association for Canadian Studies found that Atlantic Canadians and those in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the most proud (91 per cent). They’re followed by those in Alberta (86 per cent), Ontarians (85 per cent) and people in British Columbia (84 per cent). Quebecers feel the least national pride, with 79 per cent saying they’re proud to be Canadian.
The White House has hung a painting of President Donald Trump depicting a moment after an assassination attempt against him last summer — bumping the official portrait of one of his predecessors, Barack Obama
Almost 20 years ago, Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper asserted Canada was an energy superpower. Under Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government, the narrative was not about flexing our energy muscles, but on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and shifting to green energy.
And then along came Donald Trump. The U.S. President has driven home to Canadians the importance of Canada’s oil-and-gas sector. His administration has implemented tariffs on aluminum, steel and the automotive sector, but oil and gas was left alone. This drove home to Canadians the importance of the oil and gas sector – not just to the Canadian economy, but to the American economy, as well.
The truth about the FBI’s discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation is finally coming to light. FBI Director Kash Patel has just released nearly 700 pages of previously classified documents, exposing the inner workings of one of the biggest abuses of power in FBI history.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is making a plea to Canadians today to give his party an influential role in Parliament and not reward either the Conservatives or Liberals with a majority government where they hold all the power.
“Ottawa works best when there’s someone there to hold the powerful to account,” Singh said Friday at the Broadbent Institute’s annual conference.
The institute is a social democratic think tank formed by former federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent and its annual Progress Summit is falling this year in the third week of the federal election campaign.
A new poll shows Jagmeet Singh losing his seat by MASSIVE margins to the Conservatives
