Majority of all Canadians now disapprove of Trudeau — except hardcore Liberals: poll
A new Postmedia-Leger poll has found that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is popular only with an ever-dwindling coterie of hardcore Liberal voters, with every other voter demographic wanting him gone.
“While this partisan split is not unusual, it is particularly marked at the moment,” said Sébastien Dallaire, an executive president at Leger, in an email to National Post.
October/September Surprises!
An October surprise is usually defined as the well-known (and more often left-wing) tactic of manufacturing or unloading a news story right before voting to surprise a rival without allowing them time sufficiently to respond or recover.
Think of the last-minute bombshell disclosure, five days before the 2000 election, that candidate George W. Bush had been cited for drunk driving over a quarter-century earlier. That surprise may have cost Bush the popular vote that year.

Oh No! Susan Delacourt Is Mad At Pierre Poilievre!
Pierre Poilievre acts as if there’s power in being unlikeable. It’s not a good look
Conservatives appear to be trying everything this fall to turn their poll lead into eventual election victory, with the exception of one force in politics — likeability.
Nothing in Pierre Poilievre’s repertoire in the Commons the past two weeks has been aimed at making people like him, beyond those who already do. He insults, he taunts, he name-calls, he sneers — all the things that parents tell their children not to do if they want to make and keep friends.
Mean and nasty is the default setting for Conservatives.
Delacourt is upset that there were repercussions for the “journalists” who literally spread a lie about Poilievre. Imagine if the same happened to Justin or Jagmeet?
More “Journalists”
Saying Poilievre will restore journalistic ethics and integrity shows how far from reality Canadian conservatives have strayed: they are locked in a bubble of their own making, convinced everyone else is wrong. God, they’ll be a bad government https://t.co/yWknCqRRfX

Trudeau gov’t dragging its feet on NORAD modernization
Documents reveal why Trudeau government needs to speed up NORAD modernization, expert says
OTTAWA—The federal government is off to a slow start on its 20-year plan to improve Canada’s contribution to the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) that it shares with the United States, new documents show.
Tabled in Parliament last week in response to a written question from Conservative MP Bob Zimmer, the documents detail how much money was spent over the first two years of the government’s $38.6-billion “NORAD modernization” plan. As of June this year, the government had spent $69.7 million on the initiative, more than half of which was used for expanding internal government services to start shepherding through the promised projects, which include new radar and communications systems, the documents show.
Trudeau would weaken the ability of NORAD to track Santa.

Casi peor que la tortura de soportar al felón es que te pille un volcán de en plena erupción. Y eso es lo que sucedió en China, el pasado martes, cuando una tubería de alcantarillado explotó bañando a coches, ciclistas y trabajadores viales en una lluvia de popó. pic.twitter.com/1alFwU4C1B

No wonder Justin loves Macron. Their shared interests include the exploitation of the 3rd world and a hatred of the 1st.
