Former Liberal MP Jody Wilson-Raybould Endorses NDP MP Don Davies!

Of course, during an election, I expect partisans to make comments that favour their preferred party. Even so, it's awfully cynical when people to try to scare #NDP supporters into voting #Liberal under the current circumstances.

National and Quebec polls March 23 (start of #elxn45) to April 7.

I've changed the time series to only be since the Election was called on March 23 so we can see how things have changed... or not.

National: All parties remaining near where they have been since campaign start. Will anything push these numbers?

Quebec: Pretty much the same but the one thing you can say for sure is the Liberals have come off their very high highs of 50% and are now back down to Earth, but there is still a significant lead over the Bloc and CPC.

The NDP bumps around in the doldrums under 10%. The Green and PPC vote are nearly irrelevant.

These are reported at 338canada.com
They are the raw poll numbers, not seat projections.
National polls are only those rated "A" by 338canada.
Quebec are all polls.

#TheAmericanFascist uttered this morning.

“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.”

The left wing social democratic forces of the world (including the #Liberals and #NDP in Canada) have been so neutered and brow beaten into incrementalism and neo-Liberal corporate capture, that a right wing, billionaire-wannabe, near-Nazi fascist, and politicians who want to be like him (Pierre Poillievre) have stolen the rallying cries of working men and women (but mostly men).

These were the warnings working people and socialist forces screamed when Free Trade and privatization was born by Reagan and Mulroney, Thatcher and Chirac. The de-unionization of western economies, the decimation of public infrastructure for private “partnerships”…

Now here we are, it all got so bad that the regular person, struggling to put inflated food on the table, or put their children through inflated college, are so fed up that they submit to the regressive, racist, anti-human, bloviations of populist tyrants.

A pox on you, “Liberals” and “Democrats” of the world.

You chose corporations while you placated people with false promises and false hopes.

You enabled the worst of the human condition through complacency and greed.

Your limp, unconvincing defence of Liberalism and Democratic values destroyed both.

What will you do to win back the podium to speak for working people? Perhaps you don’t deserve to.

To all Canadian federal election candidates. Whereas the European Union has anti economic coercion legislation, what equivalent does Canada have, and what will you propose to support or initiate anti coercion regulation?

Polls up to April 6 as reported by 338 (these are the poll numbers as reported, not projections)

I'm including both the National and Quebec numbers because there is some interesting movement in the Bloc numbers nationally downward, but it is not reflected in the Quebec numbers themselves. It seems that half Quebec polls have the Bloc polling around 20% and the other around 30%. A rather huge difference.

However, there does seem to be a decline in Liberal support in Quebec over the past week.

Why I'm knocking on doors.

Don't let them tell you it can't be done.

Is someting happening in Quebec?!

The Bloc have broken below the 5% (national poll) barrier twice in the latest two days of polling, which is for April 4th and 5th.

Mainstreet polls, 4% on the 4th, then 3% on the 5th.
There are also Liaison “B" grade (not included on graph) polling that pegged them at 4% in their four most recent pollings since April 2nd.

LPC/CPC still within usual bounds. NDP steady.

https://338canada.com/polls.htm

Friends in Carleton riding, your #NDP candidate, Beth #Prokaska ( https://bethprokaska.ndp.ca/ ) has approximately 5% of the support in the polls. She has zero chance of winning this seat.

If Ms Prokaska , an accomplished and respected community leader, withdrew from the race and put her support behind Bruce #Fanjoy, the Liberal candidate for the riding, the residents of #Carleton could almost certainly remove Pierre Poilievre from that seat.

Ms Prokaska could be a hero.

#BeAHeroBeth for #Canada

Looking at the latest polls on this the eve of the 3rd week… everyone is still in their band that they've been in since March 24.

But I do notice the Bloc has hit a new low of 4%.

A sign of a subtle shift in seat-rich Quebec?

Note, the graph below only shows the “A rated" national polls as listed at 338canada.com.

LPC: continuing in their band, but on a short downward.
CPC: continuing in their band, but on a short upward.
NDP: fairly stable around 8%
GPC/PPC: wallowing under 5%

"I don't want to presuppose the outcome of the election, but I can tell you one thing very clearly: New Democrats, myself as leader, will never support Pierre Poilievre as prime minister," he said last Saturday in Ottawa.
