@cbcnews @politics-cbcnews This is really bothersome. I get Singh's point: keep the NDP in the House in order to soften the hard edges of the Liberals, and he's right about that, but there's no such thing as a "supermajority" in a Westminster parliament! A majority is a majority is a majority. It's insulting to Canadians try to scare us by importing a concept from American politics that doesn't apply to us.
My fellow Canadians: please ignore the polls. Remember to vote. #cdnpoli
Yesterday I cast my vote at our Early Voting Polling Station. It was quick and easy (although others at the same station had waits of 45 minutes) and an overall great experience, as always.
I did not vote my conscience as I normally do, but I voted for the party I feel is best suited to handle these extraordinary times.
Get out and vote, Canada. Every voice matters.
Excellent article covering many areas, here is one excerpt:
"The irony is that even as #Trump and #Poilievre lament the disappearance of the middle class, they aim to put the very last nails in its coffin by eliminating public sector bargaining, defunding public #education and #health care, cutting #social services, undermining secure #employment and #pensions, and leaving #housing strategies to be dictated by developers and the market. "

I was one!
About 7.3m people have cast ballots over four days of advanced voting.

Recent polls noving slightly back towards #Carney has finally stopped the free fall at 338, and has Carney's projections starting to inch back up. seems maybe the debates helped him
Bruce #Fanjoy only 9 points behind #Poilievre! a 4.5% shift would have them tied
The Conservative Party of Canada platform only mentions women four times – with three of those mentions related to an anti-trans policy pledge. #cdnpoli https://www.northdeltareporter.com/local-news/conservative-platform-draws-criticism-for-anti-trans-elements-7959441
Now we have 3 good reasons not to buy hormone laden poop milk from the USA:
1. Hormones
2. Poop & disease
3. Elbows Up Canucks!

@gemelliz Calling Poilievre “problematic” is a gross understatement. No one who refuses to apply for a security clearance has any business leading a political party, or being in politics at any level. #cdnpoli #PoilievreIsAForeignAsset

Pierre #Poilievre will cut affordable daycare, dental care, and pharmacare for anyone not already not enrolled.
Especially important information for families with young children who were planning on enrolling in the $10/daycare program. Poof. Gone.
Poilievre said he was going to slash funding for special interest groups, but he didn't say what groups. I know, we can all guess the CBC. I posted a list of my best guesses here:

#cdnpoli #poilievre #costed_platform
Every party enjoys a percentage of the population who will vote for them no matter what that party says or promises, quantifiable or not.
The late release of the CPC costed platform is telling in that they didn't think they would have to go this far, and were caught well behind the curve when Carney took over the Liberal party and, with the indirect help of the Chito Benito, started making sense to Canadians.
Regardless - a costed platform after advance polls is inexcusable. #cdnpoli
@alessandro Precisely. 
"Media are obsessed with both-sidesing things until details have been blurred to oblivion."
Just heard a TV pundit say both parties are offering "basically the same platform" - so "Canadians are going to have to decide who they trust the most"
Fuck this. If your big idea for Canada is to defund research, gut public services, and turn the military into a culture war cosplay club—all because “woke” makes you uncomfortable—you’re not a leader. You’re just scared of a country that moved on without you. #cdnpoli
