Also if anyone is happy about this current polling says Cons would win a massive majority, Libs would still be in second and bloc (not even NDP!!!) would be third.

Between Trump and Polievre North America is about to enter a conservative hellscape.

I mean NDP usually finish behind the Bloc in seat count so that's not surprising. The real question is if the Liberals can even hold onto the Official Opposition. If the Bloc win close to 60 seats in Quebec and the Libs can't even win ridings like my former one (Toronto-St. Paul's) while being basically shut out in the west they could return to 3rd party status once again.

The Bloc and NPD are actually pretty close in QC so I don't think Bloc is going to do all of that. I really think if the NPD plays their cards right in Qc they might do a better job since they've been slowly gaining more seats in the last few years. It's the Conservatives that are freaking me out because there are a lot of Anglos who are pro Trump, anti-francophone, anti-immigrant etc, etc. and very connected financially.

I'm a little confused because they're not close in Quebec polling at all? The last poll had the Bloc at 32%, the NDP at 11% (IPSOS). Leger, the best Canadian polling firm, had the Bloc at 35% to the NDP's 11%.

Also they haven't been gaining seats in QC lately. They went from 59 seats in 2011 to 16 in 2015 to 1 in 2019 and 1 in 2021. I think Boulerice is still their only Quebec MP. Maybe they've been doing better in Federal by-elections there but that's owing more to Liberal weakness and they still haven't been winning. Idk 11-14% in the polling is not optimistic. They'll never vote for a kirpan-wearing leader in Singh.

Damn you're right, I was looking at national voting intentions vs provincial. But even then Léger says that Bloc hasn't made any gains since Nov and NPD did by 2 points.

Didn't the Bloc poll briefly second a few weeks ago? Or was that a fever dream I had? The NDP is dead in the water, I'm not sure why they insist upon sticking with Jagmeet. It's been 7 years and he has nothing to show for it. They should have been preparing his successor since at least the last election and yet we've got zero front runners for the job. I know no one will ever be Jack Layton, but it's like they refuse to even try anymore.

the NDP is such a badly governed party tbh. their best politicians are people like Matthew Green, Heather McPherson, Niki Ashton, etc. and I bet they will pick some Tom Mulcair-esque person as their next leader. Jagmeet disavowing the carbon tax after HE SUPPORTED IT just looked dumb as hell and gave the cons a very easy attack ad

In my dreams, they parachute her in and she saves the party. The Conservatives do not win. She wins a majority after securing a historic landslide in favour of the NDP, the kind we once thought only Jack Layton could deliver. Life improves. I start going outside more and meeting people again since I'm no longer trapped in my room pinned in place by the existential terror invoked by our current political landscape. I meet someone cute at a coffee shop. I--

They need to get rid of Jagmeet like it was great and all but it's over now and we have a lot of pressing issues to tend to.

[hallyujah]

Niki Ahston is a fucking garbage human being, a megalomaniac and deeplyunethical fyi. Neither she nor Jagmeet should be leader

Sorry maybe I was OTT lol, but she really leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Wow, this is fascinating, ruthless, and gross.

Holy hell. I take back what I said. That’s actually insane.
