#PierrePoilievre is a control freak that tries at all costs to stop the media members to do their job and inform #canadians during the #election2025
This isn't what a #democracy should look like and this isn't the actions a candidate to become prime minister of #Canada should make.
Thank you National Observer and in your face, gutless CTV!
It seems likely he will be removed if this election plays out as the current conservative pollsters are pushing: they are clearly pushing the narrative of "if not #CPC, then #LPC at any cost!"
Which I find extremely telling. Do we really want to elect Angus Reid's second choice after #PP?
Reality is: most #BC and #AB ridings are more likely to elect #NDP or CPC than LPC. This may be true in #SK & #MB, and elsewhere. We need clean data from the sources, not Fournier's weighted model.
An interesting few days in the #cdnpoli advertising landscapes.
I have seen no anti-Carney ads from the #CPC.
The new #PierrePoilevre ad makes me think they should give Jeff Douglas a cut.
Local ads without #PierrePoilievre are popping up. I think they may be dissociating themselves from their leader.
#Liberal ads are few and far between, but having #MarkCarney on the news all the time as PM standing up to #HeWhoMustNotBeNamed is a pretty god substitute.
Updated for polls up to April 1.
Edit: The NDP support is definitely off the lows and is starting to impact seat predictions. We can see it in Manitoba especially. Not so much Ontario, but races in BC are also starting to become competitive where they looked like a CPC sweep.
Probably a function of the local races/candidates coming into focus plus voters crystallizing opinions on Trump and applying to their ridings.
CPC just dropped their fourth candidate in 2 days. Don Patel no longer the #CPC candidate in Etobicoke North after Patel endorsed a social media post that suggested deporting Sikh activists to India so "Modi can take care of these nonsense people." 4 axed in 2 days. Unprecedented in my experience. #elxn45

I created a line chart from the data of polls tracked by 338Canada.com. I wanted to see it myself.
Nothing revelatory here but I really wanted to watch that CPC and NDP trend. This makes it easier than looking at the table.
Looks like the CPC is stuck in the 35-40% band. The LPC has reached its peak around 45% and the NDP and Bloc found their bottoms at 6% and 4% respectively.
Will the #TrumpTariffs produce a shift?

Here’s a fun little video I dug up for an earlier conversation. It’s from the Conservative Party’s leadership debate and it has then Conservative leadership hopefuls Roman Barber, Leslyn Lewis and Pierre Poilievre arguing over who supported the illegal #FreedomConvoy occupation of Ottawa harder.

@AlisonCreekside What's the case for strategic voting at present?
I'm not an #NDP supporter, but if I were why wouldn't I look at @338Canada and conclude that the chance of the #CPC winning is very small, and anyway that the policy differences between #MarkCarney and #PierrePoilievre are narrow? Why shouldn't an NDP supporter vote for the NDP given the current situation?

#Canada beware of pols claiming 45's 51st state threats are a 'joke' or simply a ruse to 'get a better deal for the us'
They are touting this line so that Cdns will lower their guard this #election and vote for a #CPC party/leader who has no security clearance & is

45's annexation threats are very much real. Why else would P Navarro seek to remove Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence sharing group?

“A Conservative candidate who once voiced his support for “public hangings” – even joking that former prime minister Justin Trudeau should receive the death penalty – will no longer be running to represent the party after CTV News first obtained audio of his comments.”
In 4 Monday's we will be having #elxn45 in Canada!
If it were held today, according to 338canada.com, the networks would likely call it almost immediately if these projections bear out. Eastern Canada will send 151 Liberals. Only 172 seats are needed for a majority.
I still think the NDP projection is way too low, and I expect 2 Greens, but neither of those will change the overall outcome.
That said, 4 weeks is a long time!

The #CPC signs are definitely dark and I need better glasses to read the small font for the Conservative Party - its almost like they don't want to be associated with themselves 
The Cons civil war is between the racist bigots Harper filled the party with, and the conservatives who still love Canada and hate dictators.
Harper and Peter MacKay sold out the conservative Party, now the bigots and racists are trying to sell out Canada to Trump.
Trump's threat is waking up some conservatives about the quislings in their own party.

You know what I haven't heard #PierrePoilievre Nad the #CPC talk about lately?
Defending the national broadcaster, the #CBC. I wonder why?

I've always been a fan of z80-based releases of Gauntlet. However, both the original collection of mazes and those in the "Deeper Dungeons" add-on were a bit limited (most dungeons were duplicate of others).
Now I've created a tool that allows adding your own mazes and creating a new collection that can be loaded from the original game.
