Canada 2008: Official Thread

My current Ontario prediction:

Why can't that part near Manitoba (forget the riding name) vote NDP!

Kenora

[Хahar 🤔]

Yes, Kenora. Home of the Kenora Thistles.

NDP finished a close third last time. Who knows, the collapsed Liberal vote may go to the NDP, but from what Ive heard, the Liberal vote in the north is more likely to go conservative than NDP. That riding is Kenora, which is held provincially by NDP leader Howard Hampton

I'll probably declare myself 100% French on October 14th and deny any Canadian roots.

Liberal surge!

The last few Quebec polls have been showing the NDP dropping to the lower double-digits (12, 11, even 10 IIRC).

[Meeker]

When is the debate?

[Verily]

When is the debate?

At the same time as the Vice Presidential debate here.

[Hash]

When is the debate?

October 1st and 2nd. IIRC.

Can never remember when is the English one and when is the French one. I need to watch the English one to laugh at Dion's English, and laughing at Harpy's French is fun too.

French is first.

Well that sucks.

Yup. You could always watch them debate in French instead

I'll definitely be watching the English one (too contrarian to watch the VP debate live), and likely the French one, too. I'll be taking the day off for Eid, but my French skills are marginally worse than Preston Manning's.

This is awful. Harper will be in my hometown tomorrow. I'm ashamed than he will dirty my town and the place where I had my grad party by his presence.

I hope than the mayor will lose for endorsing Harper, by the way.

[Smid]

I wish he'd come to my town, but unfortunately it wouldn't win him any votes.

John Howard has been to my town. I remember the day quite well. There were Aussie flags about the town.

Given Harper's French skills, I guess the same can be said of Max' town.

Harper was in Vanier a few days ago with Patrick Glemaud.

He held Glemaud's baby.

A poll has just come out showing the NDP is 10 points behind the BQ in Gatineau. Unfortunately, Boivin's support seems to be coming from the Liberals instead of from soft nationalists.

The Bloc has managed to firm up its support recently in galvanizing Quebec against the Conservatives. If the Bloc begins to falter, expect that coalition to crumble once more.

(And, of course, be very wary of riding polls--although the three for the Ontario GE were excellent.)

A poll out of Jonquiere-Alma from voting intentions last week

Bloc 50.4
Conservative 38.8 (inc)
Liberal 7.2

This seat had a 31.5% swing from Bloc to Con in 2006.

Lol.

The overall seat totals are ok, but yeah...

I know there is a problem with the IVR system, since there is no way to screen out those under 18. One of the robot questions was whether you wanted to join the EKOS online panel, and it was my job to follow up on these. I happened upon one 14 year old girl who had apparently signed up. Sorry sweety, you have to be 18.

Do not believe. Maybe they're wrong about Gatineau too!
