Election Called..

[greatwhite]

Rick, I'm not going to hold my breath expecting the Conservatives to win.

I still expect Trudeau will win at minimum a minority and the NDP will still be able to support him.

Yes O'tool has raised his percent but we are still 21 days out before the election and a lot can go wrong between then and now.

Violent Conservative protesters don't help and will quite likely turn a way the Liberal / Conservative swing votes. Without them the Conservatives cannot win

A vote for PPC, unfortunately, is a vote for the village idiot !!

My Conservative Sign should be on my lawn this week for Pierre Poilievre

I don’t understand your post Willie. If you think the Conservatives are going to lose badly that likely means a majority for PM Dipshyte…

Sorry, I should've clarified Turdeau.240118689_1183349132151087_902714087683967926_n.jpg

Saving the puppy mills is cute an all but what part of "show me your papers" eludes you guys?

He'll be lucky to get a minority, Conservatives have abandoned O' Toole just like he abandoned them. There will be a lot of Conservative lawn signs replaced with PPC in my neck of the woods.

"hard right conservatives" have abandoned O'toole - but he's picking up the middle of the road votes - which he needs more than the hard right if he wants to form a government.

I am completely puzzled by the mindset of the group of conservatives who would rather rally behind a leader who is too far right to win an election, than support a more centrist leader who can take the middle and form a majority government. If you can't win the middle - you've got nothing. And before you label me a red tory - I'm a bluer conservative than most - church going, social conservative, fiscal conservative, small government conservative, lets not screw over Alberta and rural people conservative. But I'm not stupid either. Only Trudeau and the liberals come out ahead when you ignore the middle voters.

couldn't agree more.
I just don't get the thought process that makes one believe splitting the conservative vote to a useless fringe party is going to help in anyway. I swear the libs are putting PPC signs in their lawn as they know how much it truly helps their cause.

There is a certain selfish mindset that would rather see the Liberals win as long as they can retain their ideological purity. It's the same reason there are members of the Communist Party of Canada who would never vote NDP even in ridings where they are competitive.
